    Dystopian and Cyberpunk Kiss: A Creative Journey — SLDS

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Susan’s Digital Art Challenge: A Dangerous Liaison in a Warzone.

    The particular tenement we are visiting is of Miss Toward.

    These first shots are of Los Angeles, seen from the Griffith Observatory.
