About

I’m Sophia D. Moussaoui (alias DohiaspM), an artist-author working across illustration, comics, and manga, with a strong love for visual storytelling and mythic/esoteric reinterpretations. My practice blends research, personal anecdotes, and editorial-driven drawing—always aiming to make pages feel alive, intimate, and a little uncanny.

I also teach and facilitate workshops in observational drawing, storyboarding, and bookbinding, from primary-school comics creation to adult graphic arts sessions. Between fanzines, booklets, and comic collaborations, I keep building worlds—while sharing my process with others through education and community events in the Lille region.

The client who commissionned me for his book cover also commissioned me a few months later to create 3 illustrations to illustrate some chapters of his book for advertising. We decided to go for a screentone look with accent colors, every color has a meaning and follows the whole theme of every chapter.

I got a commission to illustrate a poster for a magician of my city, his magic show is inspired by Harry Potter and he asked me to illustrate one of his magic trick where a feather appears from his magic wand in a spark of light. He asked me to have a castle visible in the background.

My client asked me to create the front, back and spine of his whole auto-published book "The System is Working Perfectly... Just not for you". The brief was quite clear, poverty, rain and a cyberpunk mood for the bottom part, a machinery in the middle feeding the top part which has a more "Instagram Billionaire" 's look with the golden hour lighting. I worked a lot on storytelling, hiding details everywhere. The book is out now on Amazon : https://www.twine.net/signin You can see more about the process and the book final look on my website : https://www.twine.net/signin
