''Art of Domination'' is an InteractiveComic by Mayu Zane, hosted on the ''MSPaintAdventures'' forums.
The story revolves around an alien army, the Saramis Alliance, attempting to annex a human colony in response to having one of their own colonies being attacked. The Saramis expected little resistance as the locals had outdated weaponry, but they soon discover that the planet has a lot of nasty, otherworldly surprises.
