Hi #PortfolioDay, I'm Lauren Dombrowski and I'm a comic and cover artist! My primary area of professional experience is in romance, but I have an interest in working with general fiction and fantasy as well. 📧 ldombrowskiart@gmail.com 🎨laurendombrowski.com

two flavors of thought from going to the Yuri on Ice 10th anniversary show yesterday: 1. "this show is so special I'm so glad people still love it enough to recognize the anniversary, so much about it was so groundbreaking and still is, I can't stop smiling" 2. "LMAOOO VIKTOR'S TEN FOOT TALL ASS"

It starts in ep 3-4 ish but there's a LEAP between episode 5 and 6 Specifically with Viktor being all over Yuuri and Yuuri seeming conspicuously MUCH more used to it than he was before. On one hand I love that artistic choice. On the other hand TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED??? KUBO-SENSEI???

About to out myself 10 years later to say I 100% feel like I would have bought the Luxury Yuri On Ice Coco Chanel hydrating lip balm if I hadn't read that it was mint flavored and I don't like mint. 😌

Speaking of, I giggled seeing the lip balm bc of remembering the bunch of fuckin nerds who bought Coco Chanel lip balm because Viktor Nikiforov has Coco Chanel lip balm and the retailers who sold it were like. What do you mean we are selling this because of an anime.

And god I was reminded that I am STILL fascinated in terms of storytelling choices what Yuri on Ice specifically doesn't show on screen with Viktor and Yuuri's relationship BEFORE they kissed.

What if we rendered lips with like 5x the care in this scene than most other scenes. Other than the one where one character applies lip balm to another character's lips using their finger. Like what if we did that for no reason

I went home and watched three more episodes (the showing was 1 through 5) and I will say things have Progressed in terms of living in even more of a presumptively No Homo society bc the idea that whether or not they kissed in episode 7 was even a discussion is so fucking funny. Like. come tf on

Got fired from a Jersey Mike's after a two day soft-hiring period because I "didn't seem happy enough to be there." They were right tbf

Shoutout to the other guy hired at the same time working there who asked for more salami to be put in the fridge to thaw and this other guy working there said, "Yeah I bet you want more salami, don't you" with a weird amount of vitriol. and also he was at least 20 years older than us. yeah

Started watching the Witch Hat Atelier anime and I can't tell you how much pure undiluted giddy joy I feel while watching it. It's been a LONG time since watching something made me feel that way. it's both a fabulous adaptation and also such a love letter to the manga.

it's like it's looking at you and saying, "We went absolutely fucking ham on this because the source material is that special and we love it, too."

I love that one method of We Are Turning The Animation To 11 that they use is to imitate Shirahama's linework/rendering style. like impact frames? No. Hatching. Get into it babyyyyy

like yeah you wanna be hurtful but you just sound like you're either trans yourself or you're some other flavor of queer with some three-tequila-sodas boldness running through you

lrt goddammit sheeran I mentally defended you when it became trendy to hate your inoffensively 6.5/10 music and the fact that you look like a background hobbit but fuck you and free Palestine

also I know I have largely disappeared from bluesky but I'm actually doing fine. just busy lmao. someday I will do non work art and post it here but until then I'll continue to chill

I will not add to OoT discourse except to say I fuckin love it when a forest setting has a bioluminescent plant acting/resembling a lamp like fuuuuucccck yes dude I eat that up every time

Ok I'll add one more I actually like that kid Zelda and kid Link in particular look like little freaks. Like hell yeah dude push em in the direction of uncanny valley human. Very cool not-elf-but-pretty-much-an-elf visual direction genre

Getting gender euphoria by explaining my cat's namesake to my mom by showing her a picture of Joey Batey as Jaskier and having her say "Oh, he looks like you!" ehehehehehe ✨️

Oh, look! An opportunity to talk about my favorite recent Godzilla comic, GODZILLA: VALENTINE'S DAY SPECIAL by @zoewithasword.bsky.social, @sebastianpiriz.bsky.social, Rebecca Nalty and Johanna Nattalie! Its everything you could want in a Godzilla comic! Giant monsters! Romance! Political allegory!

Here is a weird thing about comics right now. Do you know who is actually practically a guarantee of quality storytelling in comics at the moment? Godzilla. I kid you not. For a long time in America, the Godzilla comics were mostly okay, meant to be fun, lots of monsters fighting. 1/

I saw a suggested search about "MTG bans and restrictions" and was like ughhhh shit what'd she do. Anyway turns out there is a Magic the Gathering update. so that's much better

every seven to eight months I think about how the line "I wish I knew how to quit you" is incredibly heartbreaking and it got made into a cultural punchline and I get mad
