Absolutely amazing work! I have a comic idea that I hope you'll be interested. It's dystopian, but not fantasy:
I've spent all afternoon on this forum looking for artists to collaborate with, and have sent ideas for many of the same stories. But based on what you like, I have an entirely different story idea that I think you might like.
You said you like serious stories:
There's a new girl in a high school. Her name is Bai (short for Bailey). She's had to transfer because she was bullied so badly at her last school. Because she's pregnant.
Bai doesn't like talking about herself. About personal matters. About her wants and needs. All she does is help others, rather than focussing on herself. This is how she finds her own happiness.
Everyone makes assumptions. That her supposed boyfriend got her pregnant, and when he ended things she was so mortified she had to move. Or maybe she did it so she could get out of the school she hated. Whatever the rumors, Bai won't let them get to her. That is, she won't let them see it get to her. Because it's not easy. Being pregnant and knowing you did nothing wrong? Knowing what everyone thinks of you and trying so hard to not stop smiling. To not give them the satisfaction of seeing you break.
It was date rape. She thought he was a nice guy. She thought they were going to a clean party. He had other plans.
And then there's the boy that doesn't listen to what others say. Looking at her, he knows the rumors must be false. He sees how hard she strives to serve those around her, although they aren't dealing with anything half as serious as she is. Her selflessness is a beacon, and it pulls him in. He starts to fall in love with her, even though she's pregnant. Even though everyone else is against her. He's there for her when she has morning sickness. When she breaks down after school, a sobbing mess, unable to hide her heartache anymore. He treats her as if the child was his own. Loves her unconditionally. He is her support.
(The name Bai means chaste, pure, and clean)
