I’ve got a grimy cyberpunk twincest story in the works, and I’m in talks with Pastel about illustrating it!
Longtime lurker, first time caller — I have an interspecies space club hookup I’m hoping to submit for this issue. I’m in the discord under this same name. :)
Illustrator reporting for duty! I’ll turn in a pinup if nobody claims my services by the halfway point.
Signing up for my first ever story with SSBB! Cyberpunk bio body modding with a trans high femme lesbian and her butch girlfriend.
Happy to illustrate for an author!

Returning to finally get a piece done! I’ll be contributing a single illustration again.
Have an 80s themed retrofuture superhero x supervillain (but who is the real villain) story outlined with the working title of: Evil Cyborg Boyfriend
If anyone wants to illustrate, feel free to hit me up (I’m Jonah in the Discord. )
I’ve something in the works for this issue, too! But I’ll completely ignore the prompt, I’m afraid
Gonna be partnering with Suzuran in illustrating their (very cool) story!!
Thinking of a fun, steamy lesbian smut story w/ neon tattoos and a cyberpunk setting ….hopefully!
