Career

Brianne Drouhard worked as a character designer on various animated TV shows throughout the 2000s, such as Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated and Teen Titans. While Drouhard worked on Batman: The Brave and the Bold from 2008 to 2011, DC Comics announced the formation of DC Nation Shorts to everyone working in the animation department at Warner Bros. Looking at the list of characters that Drouhard could present a pitch for, the character of Amethyst stood out to her, even though she did not know the character well. Drouhard had already been pitching her Harpy Gee concept for several years at this point, and presented it as an alternative after her Amethyst pitch. However, DC liked Drouhard's concept episodes more than expected, and she was told to write even more episodes.[6]

Drouhard began posting her fantasy webcomic Harpy Gee in January, 2014. Following the adventurer Harpy and her goblin cat, Drouhard switches up her storytelling style and artistic processes rapidly during the creation of Harpy Gee. Lauren Davis of io9 listed it among her favorite webcomics of 2014.[7][8] A Nick animated short was produced for the show as part of the Nickelodeon Animated Shorts Program.[9]

Collaborating with Kelly Thompson, Drouhard created the comic book Mega Princess in 2016, which follows the adventures of princess Maxime and her pony Justine who go to rescue her younger brother. Published by Kaboom!, Mega Princess has a younger target-audience.[10]
