The term "dofantasy" combines "do" (often linked to digital art tools) with "fantasy". Unlike traditional hand-drawn comics, dofantasy works leverage modern digital technology to create , layered imagery, and experimental layouts that push the boundaries of visual storytelling.

Some branches of the genre focus on adult themes, including scenarios of authority and submission or explicit sexual fantasies.

Characters are typically visually striking, with an emphasis on expressive lines and detailed backgrounds.
