Pinned post! I'm Dominique Duong, an illustrator and comic artist. I'm currently working on my debut graphic novel, "Patchwork," a queer fantasy romance also about coping with grief and family trauma, hopefully out late 2025

I wanna make my own solo dom/sub smut comic that's fun and horny but that also goes into the desexualisation and feminisation of ESEA men! I wanna make yearning, sapphic art of my villainous necromancer and the heroic exorcist (who are both absolutely broken ppl). AHHH!!

Dominique Duong @domduongart.bsky.social · 2h

I have so much art and so many short zines/comics I wanna make! I wanna try my hand at animatics (not actual animations, I hate animating) cos yes, I am the kind of person who makes OC playlists. I wanna make so much SFTH fanart, maybe even a fanzine!

Trying to finish colours for my GN and it's been really difficult lately cos of [redacted], but god, like I'm SO close to the end (not exactly, but I'm at least over the halfway mark). I'm ultimately proud of my first long form, but god, do I wanna move on and work on something else right now 😅

A really good video on a topic I've been thinking about a lot more as I've grown as a writer

Princess Weekes @princesmweekes.bsky.social · 11d

The new video is finally out! 1/6 finally finished. Really excited to see the conversations around this one and already having interesting discussions about Frieren. Now my reward is one hour of uninterrupted Hades II

Announcing my new short comic, "Fury"! My first self-published autobio in a while. Fury explores my complex relationship with anger and difficulties expressing it. The print version will be available to buy at Thought Bubble, with the digital version to be posted in full later in the year

Angry, snarling black wolf with "Fury" over it

Me from the chest-up, pasting on a polite smile

Me attacking the black wolf, my teeth sharp, nails sharp as claws and eyes also yellow like the wolf

#objectober 5: brush!
reminder that you're welcome to join in if you'd like, prompts are over here: bsky.app/profile/toad...

pencil drawings of two grave guardians. one is shown from a side and front angle, and is a small marble figuine with a vaguely centair shape, four arms and a face with a little hook from which a brush hangs. the other is a squatting mummified figure with sewn-shut eyes and protruding teeth, and shaggy hair covering most of its body, in the form of lots of small bundles all attached together.
9. A graveside figurine from the White Barrows of Pterophore. These small figurines were placed beside the extensive collection of canopic jars within the Barrows. Each figurine held a tool for cleaning and maintaining the jars, from simple items such as this brush, to complex titration devices. Look at the soft bristles of the brush. What do you think they feel like? Where do you think the hairs came from?

10. This reliquary idol is made from the skin, hair and teeth of over thirty
different creatures, glued and sewn onto a wooden frame. Though the
provenance of the idol is not known, it was found with a set of tools to
maintain and add to the hair, and inscriptions on the brush handles suggest that the hair was taken from deceased people and given to the idol to stengthen it for some unknown purpose. How many different colours of hair can you see on the figure? Does any of it look like your hair? What do you think your hair would look like after a hundred years in the dark?

You should all read this if you want a great queer regency romcom and period drama 😊

Hari Conner @haridraws.bsky.social · 1d

happy birthday to my queer regency rom-com I Shall Never Fall in Love!!!! overwhelmed by how many people have read and enjoyed it in the last year tbh. THANK YOU to everyone who's read, supported, and/or said nice things, it really means the world #books

Photo of me holding the UK version of I Shall Never Fall in Love surrounded by yellow flowers on a sunny day

Comic panels from I shall never fall in love. A drawing of a girl in a garden clasping another's hands and saying 'you have excellent marriage prospects'. The next panel zooms out so we can see the rose arch looks like a wedding arch, and the other replies, 'I do?'

Comic panels from I shall never fall in love. Two young white people in regency dress dancing very close outside a window, one in an evening dress and the other in a more traditionally masc jacket

Comic panel from I shall never fall in love. A drawing of (the same) two people in skirts sitting in a window seat of a fancy room looking towards two girls by the piano. One says 'do you think her more accomplished than me?' and the other replies 'Well.'
