For lesbian awareness week here's art of my warrior-queen Viarra and her handmaid Elissa from my novel-in-progress, The First Empress! All of them commissions from the amazing artists MJ Barros, Chenria (@chenria), and Telenia Albuquerque (@9musesandanoldmind). Elissa has been Viarra's servant and companion since they were little, they become lovers for the first time as teens, and after she becomes queen Viarra makes Elissa her royal concubine.
