I've been neglecting my poor tumblr for a while. I'm mostly over on BlueSky and my Discord! Anyway, decided to do a 10th anniversary reboot of my old comic "Anaria" that I'm slowly working on in between commissions.

BlueSky

I wanted to let people know that I'm on BlueSky! I'm glad a lot of people have been showing up in the last few weeks. It's less lonely over there now. 💖

A sketch comic from a few years back of Amira and her adopted daughter Maggie as a toddler. It's based off of an experience I had a long time ago working at a craft store trying to help a very defeated mom and her kid with a hamburger patty.

Linayla, one of the mains of my stories. I need to draw her more. 💖

Kenneth is a very old character of mine that decided to return from the shadows. I adore the kitty cat and I look forward to people meeting him. People think he's just a pretty guy from the outside, but as soon as he opens his mouth it's obvious he's just a dork. It's why he gets along with my character Mahri so well. XD

My page is a safe space for LGBTQ and BIPOC folk...

I get a lot of bigots following me because I have straight couples, but I'll block any bigot that thinks they are welcome because of my straight couples or (mostly) SFW art (usually prudish bigots.)

I'm (mostly) straight so most of my main characters are (hey, I love dudes 👀), I don't force them to be anything other than what they tell me they are. I draw very binary clothing because I like the aesthetic (I wear a mix of both IRL), but traditional gender roles aren't really a thing in my stories. However I can't stand racist, misogynistic, homophobic, and transphobic people, and for once I'm going to be VERY clear about that.

Gavin is POC, Mahri is ace (technically POC in human form), Mina is lesbian, Amira is bi romantic, Melody is trans, and plenty of the others are bi, but I don't have any reason to call it out other than a recent image. I'm part Ojibwe (Turtle Mt. Chippewa to be exact), I'm on the asexual spectrum, and very left leaning... so yeah. Most of my friends are LGBTQ. My roommate is non-binary.

And just for good measure, I'm a witch. I AM welcoming of all religions.... just don't be a hateful jackass.

So yeah, just because I love dudes and love drawing my guys with cute women doesn’t mean this is a safe space for people with emotional issues that lead them to hate LGBTQ folk. (Also straight hate isn’t welcome either. Those guys are bigots, too. LMAO)

Artfight attack for Phandril! I'm the gal with a bunch of magical foxes, so I chose the magical fox. XD So long as I have time I want to do revenge art (also surprise attacks.) Follow me here if you wanna! https://artfight.net/~JLBriere

Colored doodle of Mahri and her friend Luramina. Was trying to figure out what color Luramina’s hair would be before she shows up in the comic.

Two of my best buds wanted me to draw Mahri and Mina holding hands while walking on the beach so I made this sketch. I was explaining to people that this many layers is not abnormal beach clothes in the PNW a majority of the year. 

[jlbriere]

Reblogging Mahri and Mina. XD Hey, they are best buds, too. 

[jlbriere]

Just my two cutie scientists. Mahri is very much asexual and is mostly clueless to Mina's crush on her. I mean, everyone has a crush on Mahri, but she gives Mina a pass. Happy Pride!

Things have been rather stressful lately so I put up a GoFundMe to help me move. It looks like things will be pushed out until August because of development on my parent's land, but I realized I needed help to make this move (or any move). Don't feel obligated to donate, but check it out if you want! Thank you SO MUCH for everyone who has donated or spread the word! https://www.gofundme.com/f/trailer-in-the-woods
