I read your webcomic this week and I just love how you draw baby WW and her three-headed pup! Superman has Krypto, Batman has Ace; it’s about dang time Wondy got a dog!

Thank you so much!!! To be really honest, I had such a hard time with a three-headed puppy character because I've never drawn one with three heads (one animal head is already tough!), so I really appreciate hearing that!! Now I'm three episodes in, and I think I've got the hang of it ahaha

And yeah, you're right - I didn't even make that connection! So cute that they've each got pups now :')

Congratulations on your DC Comics work!!! It looks so beautiful

That's so kind, THANK YOU!!! :'))

[dommnics]

My heart’s dancing that I can finally share the work I’ve done for the new DC Go! Series WARRIORS AND A WEE WONDER. I joined as the artist for EPISODE 7 in the series!

I’m forever grateful to draw these characters with the beautiful material that was written by Stephanie Williams, and be under the guidance of our brilliant editor, Sabrina Futch. I’m tagging along with the amazing fellow illustrators Pica and Emily Pearson, Ariyana who carries our work with their exquisite colours, and Kielamel Sibal providing the beautiful lettering work you see in all episodes.

Hello! I loooove your take on the OG Little Mermaid, and I kinda had an idea for an epilogue of sorts:

After her time as a daughter of the air (She lets her years pass by very quickly by doing as many good deeds as she can), Iniya obtains her soul, and guess what- she’s reborn as Mirae and Abigail’s baby daughter- as they look upon her with her blue eyes and dark skin (Like in her human form) (Bonus points if her hair is cyan, like the one in her mermaid form) and her onesie is the same color as her mermaid tail (AKA white))!! And extra bonus points if Mirae admits that her child reminds her of a friend he once lost- dude, that baby IS your friend!! (Extra extra bonus points if he chooses to name her after the “friend”, aka Iniya) And the craziest thing? SHE’S LETTING HER SEE THE OCEAN AGAIN WHILE SHE HOLDS HER FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! And the nursery has sea themed decorations and even a doll in the shape of any sea animal.

NO ONE sees it coming.

Btw, this is just food for thought, and for fun. Sorry if I interrupted you.

Hi! Thank you so much! ❤️

And not an interruption at all, don’t worry about it! I actually love getting asks in the inbox hahaha

This is a very sweet idea for an epilogue of sorts! I love the sentiment of her getting to be together with Mirae, but in a very different way, and still to receive all her love and adoration.

I’m a sucker for the idea of reincarnation, so I’m very into this. I think it’s very lovely! 😭

Here’s a little thing I started last year and took out of the WIP folder to finish up in between work projects! When I was a kid, I loved watching the 1994 animated series. That was the version I grew up on before the 2005 films, and I loooved Sue and her powers 🫧 This is the first time I’ve really drawn them together and I’m super happy with how it came out!

Hi again, Dom ;-; since you are doing fairytales I was wondering if your planning to do Cinderella aswell. I would love to see a reimagined version of your old post based on the Brothers Grimm variant of the tale, I’m also curious to see if your gonna do the Charles Perrault version aswell!

Hello hello! 👋🏽

YES, for both! I’m absolutely doing Cinderella and I’ve been brainstorming ideas and headcanons for it recently that I’m really excited about.

I will definitely be doing different character designs for the Grimm and Perrault versions individually and that’s been part of the fun for me, to make them feel distinct and visually different from the other!

So far this is the only WIP I’ve done for the Perrault version! I have all these ideas planned out for all these fairy tale designs, but I just don’t have a whole lot of time to draw them out these days because comics and freelance work have been keeping me very occupied!

The next fairy tale designs I’ll be putting up will likely be Snow White since I have more work done for that so far, but we’ll see! Really excited about them all though and I do plan to finish them!

I also love that you included Kinuko Y. Craft’s Cinderella!! That was one of my favourite illustrated books of the story as a kid!!! ❤️✨

[dommnics]

Greetings, how are you? I absolutely love your art; it is stunning! I have seen many of your amazing works and, most of all, about the Disney Princess, and I would like to know if you have ever heard about the adult-themed webcomic The Little Crooked Tale? If not, this is a dark Disney crossover fan comic that features the lives of well-known fairy-tale princesses after the conclusion of their stories. This story contains mature and violent content. Thank you for your attention, and take care!

Hi, that's very kind of you, thank you! I'm doing good over here, and hope you're doing well yourself <3

Yes!! I have read through a bit of it, but I'm not caught up to its current pages. I really enjoy the concept and I find the art for it really beautiful! I'm such a sucker for stories putting soft, gentle-spirited heroines through the darkest journeys (especially for the Disney princesses) and seeing how/if they manage to come out the other side.

[dommnics]

Despite being disappointed that they casted another pretty and skinny actress for Carrie (but no offense Summer does look gorgeous 😍) I am looking forward how she will portray Carrie, and this may be too early to ask but will you do a fan art of Summer as Carrie? kinda like with your fan art with Halle as Ariel and Rachel as Snow White before their official and first looks were released!

Definitely! When I've got some down time, I've been itching to make some fanart of Summer as Carrie! Very excited for this one!!

[dommnics]

It’s official…the cast for Carrie has been released…any thoughts?

Very, very exciting stuff! I am so unfamiliar with the majority of these actors, aside from Samantha Sloyan, Amber Midthunder, and Matthew Lillard. But that's a great thing! I'm looking forward to being introduced to them as these characters in this world.

I can't stress how excited I am to see how much more these characters will be fleshed out, and what different directions Mike Flanagan will take for them. The story is stacked with an array of female characters who come from wildly different perspectives and backgrounds, and I'm so interested to see how much more nuanced and complex they can be in an eight episode format vs a two hour film.

Summer H. Howell as Carrie White:

Like many, I'm bummed but not entirely surprised that yet again, we have a thin, conventionally attractive actress representing Carrie for a fourth screen adaptation. Really missed opportunity to set her apart from the past Carrie portrayals visually, and also to connect back to how truly vicious the pig's blood prank is with that context. With that said, it's a new Carrie, and I am very excited for Summer to put her own fingerprints on this character, and from what Mike Flanagan has said about her in a recent interview...

... it makes me all the more excited to see what she'll do with this role. I'm curious how y'all interpret the last bit of this quote? Could she be an angrier Carrie? In the novel, I felt she was expressing (internally mostly) a lot more rage through the story, which was softened in Sissy's portrayal, but I could feel it with Angela and Chloe. I think this is a great opportunity to explore that even further with Summer. I'm also super interested to see how her physical acting will be, especially with the telekinesis. So far, the most unique version in this area has been Chloe's portrayal - using her hands, and even her movement was sort of animalistic and predatory, so I hope they get really creative with how Summer will physically represent her use of the TK.

Samantha Sloyan as Margaret White:

I'm kind of curious who the other runner ups for this role would've been, but definitely no concern here, because we've already had a glimpse of what her Margaret could be through Bev Keane. But because she's already played a similar character, it would interest me to see how Samantha will make Margaret a much different character from what she's already done before.

Siena Agudong as Sue Snell:

While I'm not familiar with her, I'm really happy with this casting due to the fact that Siena is partly Filipina! Being Filipino myself, that's a little win in my book! I really appreciate this character, and the morally grey aspects to her. I've previously spoken about it on here before how the 2002 version had my favourite version of Sue (so spunky and kind, but with bite in a way that felt really natural and authentic), and I am very excited over the potential of how this character can be expanded and explored further. With all the characters, this new take has the opportunity to create a defining version of the character out of all the adaptations. Sue has plenty of areas that the movies did not have the space or time to fully realize, and I hope that what Siena does in this role can place her as being the definitive Sue Snell. What also interests me is how involved she'll be in the final acts of the story. I struggle with picking a stance of whether I like her sneaking into the prom and eventually witnessing the destruction, or being at home, and slowly realizing there's something going down in the town. But I have hope that they'll stick closer to the way the novel's final moments play out, with Sue being an active presence in Carrie's final moments.

Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen:

Dark haired Chris! That was my first thought when seeing this casting hahaha! I remember being so excited when Portia Doubleday showed up in the Carrie 2013 trailer with dark hair. It's honestly an inconsequential detail, but I just like the visual connection to her book self. Apart from that, I'm unfamiliar with his actress, and I'm looking forward to seeing what she'll do with Chris. I'm not familiar with how Chris is handled or fleshed out in the musical, but so far my favourite interpretation has been Portia's. Despite not having a bunch of screentime in the 2013 movie, I really felt that she managed to give Chris a lot more nuance and even fragility that I didn't get from the previous versions.

Thalia Dudek as Emaline:

This just makes me super curious who Emaline will be in this story. Will she be a version of one of the existing characters from the novel, or someone entirely different? Maybe Carrie won't be a total loner in this, and Emaline could be the one friend she has in the school? Curious what y'all are speculating for this character!

Amber Midthunder as Miss Desjardin:

I loved Amber Midthunder in Prey, and it was cute to see her show up in the live action Avatar series. Apart from those, I haven't seen her in anything else that I've watched, so I'm interested to see what she'll be like in this role. The way that the 1976 movie expanded and re-interpreted this character from her novel self was really well done, so much so that the 2002 and 2013 versions followed suit in varying degrees. I like the push and pull aspect of her character, where she pities Carrie, either from a place of annoyance, and also genuinely wanting to help her. I think that makes her character more interesting than just straight up being a sweet teacher (and she has teeth and means business in all three versions, which I love!), and feels like it nods to her own background a bit - maybe she was a mean girl herself back in her school years, and that could be a really compelling angle to write this character, from school bully to being a teacher (it happens so often!)

Matthew Lillard as Principle Grayle:

I'm actually surprised more at the role that Matthew Lillard is playing, because I was actually expecting it to be announced that he would be Ralph White, when his role was initially hush hush. I'm happy to see in the Carrie universe, and it just makes me curious to see if this character will play a larger role in the story or not. It's also always tickled me to see how each version has done the post showeroom talk in the principal's office, and how Carrie's powers are introduced during this scene. We've gotten Carrie flipping an ashtray, pushing a steel desk, and shattering a glass water dispenser. Makes me curious what she'll do here! Crack a window maybe? Explode a laptop for that modern flair?

Josie Totah as Tina Blake:

Tina coming back makes me happy! I'd have to double check, but I think this character in the novel does not have the prominence she has in the movies, basically being Chris's right hand. Chris being the main antagonist, but with Norma/Tina being the nasty little follow up is something I've really enjoyed throughout the three versions, and they've all had really interesting and unique demises at the prom. I hope that Josie's Tina will have a similar role in this new version. It also makes me curious now how the dynamic of the female bullies will be in a 2025 world.

Arthur Conti as Billy Nolan:

I have not seen Beetlejuice Beetlejuice yet, but clearly I have to now, just to see what Arthur Conti is like. Billy's such a gross, threatening, little creep in the novel, and apart from John Travolta's take on Billy, I thought the 2002 and 2013 did a decent job of getting this across. I'm looking forward to his dynamic with Chris in this version, and I hope that Arthur Conti can bring a frightening presence in this that I felt the 2002 and 2013 were able to do with their Billy.

Joel Oulette as Tommy Ross:

I wonder how audiences will respond to Tommy's character this time around. I've noticed that first time viewers of Carrie usually have a hard time following whether or not Tommy and Sue are in on the prank, and what kind of agenda they're acting on, so I hope this version paints a clearer picture of these two characters and where they're coming from. I do appreciate the inclusion of people of color in the main cast so far, so while I'm not familiar with Joel Oulette, I'm happy he's our new Tommy.

I'd love to know what y'all are thinking, and I wanna hear some theories and speculation from everybody too!!

[dommnics]

It’s not official yet, so I’m still hoping Milly Shapiro gets cast!! 😭

Still nothing confirmed officially yet - makes me curious! At this point, I'm doubtful Milly's in the running anymore though, but you never know :')

[dommnics]

There's a reimagining of Carrie that I absolutely LOVE that surpasses the original book in some regards!! You should definitely give it a read!

It's called "The Weight Of Blood" by Tiffany D Jackson. It's a modern retelling of Carrie, but from the perspective of a biracial black girl called Maddie Washington.

This book took the outline of SK's Carrie and turned into something much more insidious, in how Maddie has to hide her blackness as a white-passing girl all her life, just to be "outed".

Her bullying ramps up tenfold once her racist classmates catch wind of it, and her abusive religious fanatic of a father blames her for it.

There's a lot of interesting new themes in this book, such as tradition and race and assimilation. Even though the new show doesn't seem interested in modernising it's text in a substantial way, this book definitely delivers in that regard!

Also, the Segregated Prom scene is WAAAAYYYYYYY bloodier and scarier than ANY of the adaptations 😨

This is the first I'm hearing about this honestly - that sounds crazy cool. I'm gonna have to see if I can find it in my library!

[dommnics]

Hi Dom? Have you heard or watched “The Ugly Stepsister”? It’s basically inspired by The Brothers Grimm variant of Cinderella or Aschenputtel but told from the stepsister’s perspective and it’s basically a body horror genre. This type of storytelling of a fairytale told from the perspective of the “Villain” does remind me of Maleficent (2014) and Snow, Glass, Apples by Neil Gaiman

Hi!

So far I've only seen the trailer for it but I'm very excited and eager to check it out already! I'm actually planning to try and watch it later this week with a friend. I really hope it kicks off another trend of really sophisticated and artistic reimaginings of fairy tales in Hollywood!

[dommnics]

Shhhh. She's concentrating.
