About Me

Sup, I'm Dorian Caine (aka Rozario Sanguinem) and this is my SubscribeStar! I'm a queer, disabled, and trans creative living in rural Appalachia. I draw and write a lot of different things but as a general rule, my works are centered around themes of alienation, monstrosity, taboo, nonconventional intimacy, and self acceptance -- with a generous helping of horror on both a personal and cosmic scale.

These things are often explored through various and sometimes disturbing lenses such as dominance and submission, bodily transformation, and other transgressive/taboo relationships, cannibalism/vampirism, violent crime, mind-control, and just general monster-fuckery.

My "mission" as an artist/writer is striving to include those whose bodies and lives exist on the fringes of what's deemed "acceptable" within our society -- especially fat people, trans people, queer people, trauma victims, and neurodivergent people -- who often don't find themselves represented in anything but the most "vanilla" works of fiction. I want to create weird, transgressive art that explores the darker parts of the human psyche and our...stranger desires.

I also do more "generic" character design/character portraits and illustrations, though it's always totally possible that those themes might crop up in any of my personal work in those spheres. My current project is a multi-media web-series called Nocturnal Creatures -- which is an erotic horror series that I intend to focus on cycles, whether that be the cycle of death and rebirth that the main characters are caught in or on cycles of toxic behavior.

Disclaimer

If somehow you've read through all of the above and haven't figured out whether or not the works featured on this patreon are "for you", here's a disclaimer: I write/draw really fucked up things. My work frequently features things like bodily transformation, cannibalism, consumption of blood, gore/violence, BDSM, "monsterfucking" and mind control/hypnosis.

When I say my work is "gothic" I don't simply mean that it has a goth aesthetic -- I mean that in the literary sense.

My work focuses on things that are often deeply uncomfortable and disturbing to a lot of people and while I almost always focus on characters enjoying the horrible things happening to them, make no mistake that sometimes what I write/draw might be triggering to more sensitive viewers. Please do not follow or pledge to my patreon if you're not comfortable with seeing really messed up things.
