I'm nearly done inking the first chapter of my comic, but I'm not sure what to call it yet. It based off my novel Oasis, the Rise. I'd be happy to buy the best title maker a kofi or send some ink!
Here's the summary for the story:
A story about the mental recovery of a prince and an ex-sex worker turned reluctant retainer.
Mahalia is a neutral country known for its academic and magical innovations. Like many royal families, they have a Touched Child, one who has been gifted with one of the eight elemental Arcana first possessed by Indira, the goddess and creator of their world, Enid.
None of this matters as far as Adrian is concerned. He is no such child and part of no such family. A sex worker by consequence of an abusive, gambling mother, Adrian lives his life in the four walls of a brothel in Senoho, the desert capital of Senosolvia.
His life takes a turn however when a young, unassuming boy named Darrius buys him out from under his cruel master’s nose. When asked why, Darrius explains that he is needed for a project but gives no further details. Adrian doesn't need to deliberate between the boy's proposition and his master's daily abuses to know what he'll choose.
I feel that I should mention that the story is a romance between Adrian and the country's first prince Cassius. (Darrius is the younger brother) Cass is reclusive but polite and spends his time helping Adrian with his education and building his confidence.
Cass also suffers from his own childhood trauma surrounding the early death of his mother and is ostracized.
