Okay, next scene, within the theme of Air.

It's basically a world after the high floods, the globe was submerged within the oceans. Civilizations clung to the only the outcrops of land, the mountains. Though some colonised the oceans ala "Aquopolis". All of asia fought for land in the Himalayan mountians.

The Asia lost faith in technology, and reversed back to the cleaner medieval ways, wth wind being the main source of energy.

Each peak was claimed by different countries, but as time went on, bridges and lantern air ships connected these isolated peaks into one metropolis.

To this day you can stll see each countries' peak, or districts, starting from the top to bottom;

Tibeta the highest of the districts, with air trade and main port of lantern air ships.

Bhu'tanne the most spiritual of districts, most of the city's temples are here and where the Lunar New Year celebrations take place.

Nippon district is where the only surviving Asian royal family call home, one of the most commerical and busy district, its hustle and bustle is only matched by its supreme beautiful gardens on the undercliffs.

Cathay district is the other main thriving district, the centre for industry and commerce and best foods in town, in draws all kind people together. The annual Lantern Ship race starts here.

Corea district is the most peaceful, the sub-urban summit is the most sought after place to live in the whole city, boasting serene views and the soothing winds of the south.

Hope you guys like it, kinda proud of the way it turned out, (My Mom actually liked this one ^^,). Anyways, took inspiration from Chinese watercolours, for the perspective and took inspiraton from the architecture and art of the respective Asian country.

All this is fictional, so no offence was intended to anyone.

Again, overload on detail and I think way too much for my drawings.
