Her Song Is My Project

Also called Project Somniac, I've been writing and illustrating bits and pieces through the years and have decided to put in an effort to make something grand of a few vapid musings I had as a kid. Maybe it'll go somewhere, it'll most likely flop or become forgotten- lost to the endless march of time and the infinite change humankind goes through. Too nihilistic?

Anyways, I want to get it out of my head and onto paper. Or a screen. Or thousands. (Maybe a really big screen someday?) You probably aren't here for semantics and generalized proverbial hot air, so on to the project, yeah?

Project Somniac

In the late 21st century, the world was actually pretty glum. Long story made oversimplified- things went the way of the Classical Era and a second dark ages happened. By the 28th century, much of modern society started to reemerge and mankind once again began to flourish. A couple centuries later in the end of the 30th and start of the 31st is where our story begins, following initially a girl from a xenophobic tribe of highly militarized descendants of veterans from a war roughly 150 years earlier. Crash, boom, bam- things go tails up and she's introduced to modern society, into a country born of the ashes of America where freedom is paramount, but laws help provide a precedence of consequences for malicious behavior.

That girl is named Emily Vera Churchill. Her Song takes a lot of inspiration from music, notably the Seattle Grunge Movement and the evolution of blues to more modern American music. If it helps, think Fallout NV, but Stone Temple Pilots and Mudhoney instead of Guy Mitchell and Dean Martin. I'll try to steer away from the Fallout analogy as much as possible, but bear in mind it influenced those childhood musings to begin with.

Hey, if you took time out of your day to read this brief post, I genuinely appreciate it. Please feel free to ask me any questions or start a discussion at any point. Additionally, most all of my existing artworks can be found on my Twitter (same handle) as well as some lore dumps if you're willing to dig through for a bit.

Stay classy, Newgrounds!
