Hi! This is the second time I'm sending an ask- but recently (after watching k-pop dmeon hunters) I've been thinking about an au where dom instead gets recruited to be an idol instead of model??? Like she knows how to sing and dance pretty well (ik she might not be the conventional beauty standard for idols but it's fun to imagine lol)- now I'm just thinking of her travelling solo either after disbandment or a hiatus and meeting mor in nyc 😭 I'm sorry I feel like I turned mor into yn with this au-
Anyways! Still love your work! hope I didn't bore you out too much with this long ass post- you've been a great inspiration for me as an artist and I always look forward to your updates! Have a great day!
Hi! I already have a singer AU for Dom & Mor!
I actually really love music industry stories lol, and I WILL ramble so under a readmore it goes
Mor is a lesser known US singer who occassionally releases an indie album or EP, but primarily makes a living by selling songs and recording the demos for the artists who buy them. She wants to keep more of her songs, but she also doesn't want to deal with the anxiety of being a famous singer, so generally she's happy where she is
After an especially bad breakup with a guitarist of an underground rockband, several of Mor's songs get bought by a kpop group who want her involvement on their next comeback. She's asked to help advise on vocalization, as well as making sure the translation from English to Korean lyrics is smooth. So! Morgan Chambers goes on an anxiety-ridden business trip to S Korea
(Mor's career is based on singer/songwriters like RAYE and Skylar Grey, with an early Brandy kind of voice)
Dom is the youngest member of a girl-crush concept band; she's the maknae, visual, and lead vocalist. She was scouted in high school, and the money and dorming situation helped her escape her toxic family situation, so she's been throwing herself into her idol career. She dropped out of school and ended up taking multiple jobs under her agency (singing, shows, modeling, you name it, she was there)
Dom is currently going through a bit of burnout that she doesn't realize, but the latest song demos the group received have her feeling unusually excited. She develops an oblivious crush on the demo singer, and since her English is the best, she jumps at the idea of being the Most Involved with this mysterious songwriter coming from America.
(Dom's style for both singing and performing is heavily based on Hwang Minghyun of Nu'est. She's just the girl version of him lol)

As a bonus, here's a poster I sketched of Dom's band. I still haven't named them, and i'm debating using my other characters as the cameo members for this AU LOLLL but when I tell yall I love music industry stories....

Hi! Hum, I really need to know, will there ever be prints of Dom&Mor? If not, how much would be fair payment for printing myself a personal copy? I was thinking 30 per "volume" but dollars arent my currency so I might be off. plus the extra it'd be 40 per volume but I need permission first, and I might occasionally lend it to others to recommand your work ig? It's been a huuuuuge huge want for uuh a year I think but I hadn't dared asking, I hope it's appropriate!
Hello!! Sorry this is from a while ago, I've been bad about checking my inbox 😭
But I do plan to print Dom&Mor volumes!! I had a setback and have been unable to find time to try again, but it's something that I am definitely looking into! I can't control your actions but I would prefer if people don't sell their own versions of the comic. The quality would be bad anyway because I only upload lowres online (even my patreon is low res)
At the moment I have no idea how much each volume will cost, but I am hoping to keep them under $20 per volume!

Thank you for the @!!
My friends @mudavaye , @sweetdonutsart , and @isablooo are all working on comic series as well!!
Hi! Do you know any indie artist who draw Black characters? One who's currently writing a story? Or maybe a visual novel?
I realize that I severely lack examples of actual Black characters to draw my own.
Thank you! Keep up the good work for us 👊🏾
I share Black artists who design characters on a regular basis on here, friend! So really I'd follow the page and follow the people that you see draw Black characters. But @rockybloo , @dyemelikeasunset are two authors that I know are currently writing comics, plus @ackee and @feliville both design characters for future works!

urgent help!
as you guys know my grandparents got scammed almost a month ago, some man told them he was going to send them medical equipment they needed for $500 dollars, we were desperate, not only they lost all the money they had, my grandpa has gotten significantly worse, he's starting to lose vision in his good eye and my grandma is losing mobility as well (evidence), I know I sound annoying always coming here and begging for money for my grandparents and for my college, I don't know how to anticipate the grief, losing my grandpa everyday to his illness, losing my college education cause I can't afford it, in México the situation it's just getting worse and even though I feel lonely I have found a community here and I'm forever grateful for that, even a dollar goes a long way and all the money will go to their medical needs since I'm very sure I won't be able to cover college expenses, please share and donate if you can, you can help via p*ypal or any way you want through ko-fi, here's the link! 💕 thank you sm

(Context under cut)
Before it was ever brought to the screen, Frankenstein was extremely popular on the melodramatic stage and was adapted numerous times over the course of the 19th century. Something that struck me about these adaptations is that they often set the story in more typically gothic historicized settings with characters dressed as if they're on the Shakespearean stage. Frankenstein's use of science is therefore replaced with esoteric Renaissance alchemy, often interpolating elements of Faust into his character. This vindicates Frankenstein's obsession with Renaissance alchemists like Albertus Magnus and Paracelsus that he's ridiculed for in the novel, though I'm not sure how intentional this was as many of the plays seem to copy eachother rather than drawing on the original text. Nevertheless, I was really inspired by this shift in time period so here's my take on a Renaissance Fankenstein making his homunculus. I ended up choosing the 17th century which is on the tail end of the Renaissance (I know some people don't even count it) but there were still alchemists in the period like Johann Konrad Dippel (who some people think Mary Shelley took inspiration from for the novel but girl I don't know if I agree with that). I also want to shout out the silent film of Frankenstein from 1910 in which the creature seems to be baking in a kiln as part of the creation scene?? The decentering of scientific advancements and interpolation of the Faust myth into these adaptations definitely shifted the thematic focus of the story. It's not until 20th century adaptations that contemporary science returns to the narrative.
