Dofantasy/Fansadox Comics

[AdmiralPiet]

I wanted to open this topic for some time now.
I abstained because I didn't want to break the NSFW image rules.
But if I interpret what @Claire and @RapeU it would be ok for topics like this (If not, just say so I will edit this)
Also @LaLia just posted a story as homage to a certain Dofantasy storyline, so I figured it was time.

Dofantasy/Fansadox is a publisher of BDSM and rape themed comics that overlap in many ways with the themes of this forum.
The quality, especially in the early days was at times questionable. To my understanding a woman named Nuria ran the show for years, until her death. Her sister then took over.
Not only did she do the publishing, but also wrote the storylines that the artists then illustrated. I don't know much about the background beyond that.
In recent times they modernised and also published AI genrated comics. Using AI for Art is something I do not really support beyond certain uses.

Since the first time I stumbled over this site I often come back to a number of artists. Namely:

Templeton
His earlier works were a little brighter, but his style is rather dark and gritty, with heavy linework.
The storylines normaly feature young women, often blonde, being kidnapped/imprisoned and abused.
The settings range from classic abduction, over harems to slave trader rings, to soviet gulags to a fantasy world.
Often there is a racial element, with the white women being at the mercy of for example black men.
He often depicts the rapists as deranged inhumane monsters, also visually.

He was gone for quite some time, but recently he seems to have resurfaced with a somewhat changed style.

Roberts
Creator of the "Black Van" @LaLia used as base for their homage (that I have yet to read, shame on me)
He as an artist is much brighter, and puts some humor in. Recently I came to dislike his overexaggeration of facial expressions, make up and body proportions.
But overall one of my faves.

Fernando
I see some similarities in his style to templeton, but less dark I would say. Some themes are similar.
He wrote a number of series that ran for several comics and at least the "Cheerleader" Series is going on too long for my taste. Some things tend to get stale.
In addition I struggle with his worldbuilding when he writes storylines where the whole world adopted female sexual slavery, but every other aspect of the world seems unchanged..

Ferres
Ferres is quite different from the other artist at Dofantasy. He is primarily a pinup artist I feel.
Most of his work is too clean and polished.
His newer works often falls into the uncanny valley for me but his older works continue to be an inspiration to my own art

There are more, but I want to leave it at that, as a conversation starter.
For an author like me that is less interested in the inner workings of a victims psyche, and more in bringing the sexual fantasy to live before the readers mental eye, comics, if well done, hold tremendous appeal, as a picture can say more than a thousand words.
For other authors/readers however it may hold true that in certain cases pictures canot say a single word.

What do you think about comics like these?
Do you have favorite artists or stories at dofantasy?

I can't say that I read comics much in general so this is an area I'm completely unfamiliar with. But let's have some fun with it.

@AdmiralPiet I think you have some idea of what I like in a story by now. How about you recommend me something you think I might like and I'll read it. And if you waste my time, then... imagine me doing something horrible to you, muhaha!

I like some of the art styles and quality of the art, but most of the themes go way outside what I enjoy most of the time, but people from this site who likes images not just written stuff, will probably find a lot to enjoy from all that stuff.

Oof! That is a hard one.
From your comments I would say you want:
1. Something at stake, a goal, a story that progresses in a meaningful way
2. Insights into the mind of pro- and antagonists
3. You prefer psychological over physical

To No. 1:
I think most dofantasy stories are not very deep. The story is mostly a vessel for a string of rape and torture scenes.
Some storylines progress for some time, but it is often more of the same, but more extreme.
Fernando for example escalated the "Dark Vengeance" Series by adding more perpetrators that abused the two victims. In others he added more victims.
Also most comics I know are open ended.
I think it is meant as a way for the reader to imagine what happens next...

I guess Fernandos "Sex Wars" is not bad in that regard. A long string of abuse scenes for sure. But different characters pursue different goals. More than in other stories.
Ferres trys to tell stories beyond a mere tour de force, but I find his storylines at time shard to follow, especially the sci-fi ones.

Maybe I could think of more, but I remember them mostly in terms of: Which had the hottest pictures?
Like I said over in LaLias "Black Van": I am really fond of a particular picture in the "Black Van", that is far more present than any story cue. See the pic on the end of zjos post

To No. 2:
Comics progress very fast, with relatively little text. Seldom deep insights.
If thought bubbles are added it is often limited to: "God, I feel so ashamed"
Templeton uses the victim in "Moron Joss" as narrator. Would have been better though if she started out as feisty/ a feighter. But she is just along for the ride

To No. 3:
Some artists can convey the pain/humiliation very well via facial expressions and you can imagine what is going on inside.
But the focus is clearly on hard rapes, bondage, whipping, electroshocks...

I have always been fond of 462, Fernando’s Snatcher 2: Cosprey
Combining the rape of young cosplayers with their abduction, it’s a rather low on the violence, and leans a bit heavier into the creative storytelling. I have no idea to insert a picture of the cover here. Google will rapidly help anybody interested looking for Fansadox 462.

I read that one only recently.
Great art as always and certainly some creative ideas in there.
But at times too contrived, like when he marched them out of the hotel in plain sight.

As for inserting pictures: in the editor you find the butten right left of the button for inserting a link.
The syntax is: [ img]insertimage-url.com[ /img]
(minus the empty space behind teh brackets)

I really liked Fernando's early stuff with "Cheerleader Rape", but you're right, it dragged on way too long.

I think it was alright until around No. 8. After that it became a drag. The art was still good, still coming back to that.
Funny that he removed characters from the plot before, even while adding more at the same time.
A good point to conclude it would have been in Part 8 when Bob died of a heart attack and his slave escaped. Could have been the end for the other two as well.

What I woul like to see is a conclusion to "Sex Wars".
In part three he introduced a whole ne plot element however. One of the girls became pregnant, and it was previously established that natural pregnancies did not occur anymore.
So the Women of "New Amazonia" just had to hold out long enough.

My personal wish: Maya gets her revenge, becomes new President of Amazonia, while the old President pays for her treason in the dungeons.
Maybe even turn the tables completely and let the women start hunting men for sex slaves...

I wish I was more productive as an Artist, then I would illustrate that.

Welcome @mcpa1597! What draws you to Erenisch -- the style, the choice of plots, or something else?
