Heya! I’m the writer. I pulled from a lot of different sources for the Bold Riley stories. A lot of the visuals were inspired by real world art but the cultures are pure fantasy.  I try to avoid using the word “Indian” when describing BR because it isn’t India even in a fantasy sense. 

I’m hope that clarifies things a bit. I really don’t want anyone reading BR hoping to glean insight into anyone elses real world culture because lemme tell you right now- I made this shit up.

I had a look at boldriley and I haven’t read it properly but I think it looks gorgeous and promising. However you should probably make an effort to find out more about the cultures and ‘visuals’ you draw inspiration from to avoid appropriation … unfortunately you can’t just divorce whatever it is you’re doing from the real world.

It would be pretty crazy for me to have been doing this for so many years without making any effort to understand the world around me. I love the style of a lot of different kinds of art and aesthetics so the things I like are going to end up reflected in what I write and draw. 

The only thing I had wanted to say is that reading any of the places Riley visits in the book as directly based off of a particular country isn’t going to work out. I wince a little bit when people call Riley Indian, because she’s not. She’s from Prakkalore and their society is it’s own thing.

Anyway, that’s pretty much all I really wanted to say. I just hope people read it and enjoy the adventure.

And if not I suppose everyone knows where to send the hate mail.

Whoa! Look what was in my inbox this morning! Steve LeCouilliard, who is a super nice guy and super savvy cartoonist drew this amazing Bold Riley fan art! Check out more of Steve here:  http://unatheblade.tumblr.com

If you don’t know Leia Weathington’s Sword and Sorcery heroine Bold Riley, check her out here: http://www.boldriley.com/ And follow Leia on Tumblr too! You won’t regret it. 

Seconded. Steeped in a culture many might not be familiar with, the two stories up on the site are an entertaining read while Riley herself is a charismatic protagonist.

Oh wow, I want to read this!

Though part of me is a bit apprehensive? Is this some white person’s version of fantasy India or a well-researched culturally accurate story? Is it done by someone of Indian descent?…

WOOOAH my goodness you guys!! The Kickstarter for Smut Peddler has just Launched!!!!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ironspike/the-smut-peddler-pre-order-project

This is an amazing project and I’m so happy to be a part of it!

First of all it’s filthy, dirty, beautiful, sex comics which of course I love.
Second of all every story is either written or drawn by a lady, so it’s all lady friendly!
Third of all every artist in the book was paid well for their work (which unfortunately is a rarity in comics.)
Fourth of all it is FULL of amazing artists that I myself am a huge, sloppy fan girl about!

Not to mention if the kickstarter goes over it’s goal all those amazing artists will get bonuses for their hard work. Artists getting paid is something that should be the standard anyway, but bonuses? Hot dog.

I myself have a 20 page, hand painted story in this here book and I’ll be posting a preview, but FIRST I want to see those pledges go up a little higher, haha! So come take a look :D

Edit: Boss man totally picked up the retailer option! We’re gonna have this in stock when it debuts! Hot damn, I can’t wait!

Want to support indie comics?  Female creators?  Illustrated t n’ a?  Here ya go.

In my dream world, there will be a viable comic market for everything and an active “dirty” comics market would remove 90% of the cheesecake from your typical cape book, removing the need for panels of talking butts.  It’s not going to happen anytime soon, but I can dream.  And donate.

Another reblog for the sake of vanity and also Spike added a bunch of sweet new incentives for Y’all. 6 more days!
