Sup, I'm Rozario Sanguinem (aka Dorian
Caine) and this is my about page! I'm a queer, disabled
trans man 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, non-conventional 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,
nonconsent/reluctance, 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.
