Wanna meet the creator in person? Briana travels to several conventions and does several events every year. She can usually be found at a table with her various works. She also tries to do as many panels as she can, and is often wearing fun cosplays throughout the weekend. As magnifiqueNOIR develops, Briana will have more merchandise for the girls at conventions, ranging from books, to buttons, to prints, and more!
Here are her confirmed appearances. This page will be updated as she’s confirmed for more conventions, book readings, and other events.
