New year, new pinned post !

I'm Léa, 36 years old watercolor and comic artist :V

I draw my original characters in illustrations and comics, currently in my "vroom vroom beep beep" era as you can see

'"watercolor illustration of a young person (Jasper!!!) sitting in the back of a pickup red truck, wearing a large flannel shirt and shorts, holding a tin cup in their hand, long messy red hair, freckles and a red cap with the Ferrari logo on it"' Watercolour illustration of Juliette, a tall and lean woman with long shiny black hair, walking fiercely towards a Formula 1 car. She is carrying a helmet under her arm and wearing a white and black racing suit with bright purple accents, matching her car's design and colours. On the road around her are layed multiple purple roses and petals. The composition is a reference to the famous Akira poster. illustration of a blue 1988 Jeep Cherokee, Jasper is sitting on the roof with a map and an orange cat, they are shaking paws. watercolor illustration of a Hello Kitty racing car inspired by the Hotwheels Nissan Skyline GT-R Sanrio design. It's pink and black with hello kitty stickers, the driver, a young red haired person with freckles, is leaning nonchalantly on the car's hood and playing with the keys, the driver's door is open. Next to it two illustrations in Sanrio's style of Hello Kitty herself and the same driver blowing a raspberry (it's Jasper!)

I dont ever remember this being taught in schools because… why would they? It paints the US in “a bad light” which is just awful. I think this was something i learned about much much later on my own.

Its crazy how many of our atrocities are just hand-waved away like they never mattered or happened.

Pretty border on a sketchbook page.

Fresh Start is OUT!!!!! It’s a lot of things — a mixed kid story, a gender story, a complicated family story, a friendship story, a love letter to anime tweens — but mostly it is RIDICULOUS and FUN and I’m so proud of it and so grateful to everyone who made it happen. AHHHHHHHHHH.
Sketchbook drawing of Ollie from Fresh Start. Title: “it’s… book day!” Ollie exclaims: I’m in a comic?! Text: Yeah!! Ollie: Do I have cool powers??? Text: …No!!! Small text: Or do you? Stack of copies of Fresh Start by Gale Galligan on a table for signing. Childhood pen drawing of three original creatures. They are basically circles with big anime eyes and hands and feet, like a cross between Kirby and Pokemon. They have shiny ball-tipped antennae. Text at the bottom labels them “elementei.” Two page spread from Fresh Start by Gale Galligan. PAGE 1 PANEL 1 Ollie and friends lounge in Zoe’s room. Maya is reading in a corner. Zoe: FRENCH FLAPS! Ollie: Right?! Zoe: Gah, I wiiiish we got some of the nicer books you see overseas. PANEL 2 Maya keeps reading. Off panel voice: Yeah, the original Deepsea Merbattle books are like this much bigger. Off panel voice: With all that detail, too. PANEL 3 Nina throws a pillow at Maya. It hits the side of her head; she is unfazed. SFX: poomf Nina: Come on, Meta, you have dragons at home. Maya: Oof. PANEL 4 Maya has a ready retort; Nina sticks out her tongue. Maya: You know that my siblings do not give me a moment of peace. Ollie: Meta? PANEL 5 Zoe replies with a grin. Zoe: Oh, it’s just something from a story we’re working on. PAGE 2 A full page illustration of the Elementei Guardians, as imagined by Zoe, Maya, and Nina. It has a title treatment and a copyright notice ( (c) Elementei Studios). They have clearly spent some time thinking about this. Caption: In a world where people have figured out how to harness teleportation magic for their machines, but don’t realize that they’re wearing down our interplanetary fabric — evil monsters start slipping through the cracks! Caption: Fortunately, good creatures have found their way into our world from a magical dimension to help our heroes save the day! They are… the Elementei Guardians!! Label: Chaos, Fire Elementei, Electric 🔥⚡️ specialty Label: Meta, Water Elementei, Mind specialty 💧🔄 Label: Angel, Air Elementei, Heart specialty ☁️❤️ Zoe, Nina, and Maya stand underneath their respective characters and strike a pose. Ollie sits in front of them, serving as their audience. Zoe: And there you have it! Maya: It’s mostly in our heads right now. Ollie: Neat.

Astarion Baldur's Gate from yesterday ✨
A tattoo of Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3. Spoilers ahead! It is a playing card/rotationally mirrored design that plays with his two plot endings. The top is the ascended Astarion, happy and cruel, in a fancy, embroidered red jacket. The bottom is Astarion denied and covered in blood. Sad but feeling. Ascended Astarion holds the hilt of the sword of life stealing, which points to the throat of the reverse Astarion, whose hand caresses the blade. The second photo is a close up of ascended Astarion, the third photo is a close up of the reverse Astarion. A tattoo of Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3. Spoilers ahead!

I'm very bad at posting, have a healed tattoo that I got to do recently 🥺

Lines and foreground shading healed a couple months with minimal touch ups, background shading about one month healed.

This is entirely baseless, but i have a theory about Arcane Season 2 that at some point someone said, “this should absolutely be two separate seasons, but with the way things are going with animation on streaming we may not get a third season. Better messy and done than forever unfinished.”

I did a lot of research into the specific proposals and promises that the Trump administration has made for dealing with trans folks for a comic I wrote. Sitting here as a trans writer and knowing they have in publicly available documents promised to make trans stories illegal pornography is a lot

It is a truly surreal feeling sitting here going through the motions of a regular Monday, having nice chats with my partner, reading a book, all while there's a room in my brain hastily filing away all the shit that is going to get immediately, tangibly worse and more terrifying in...two weeks.
