It's taken a while to get this one off the ground & I'm excited to finally start going forward with it!
Now announcing,
PC-Mania!
A very normal trip to buy a computer
After Jade and Iri's computer breaks, the two rush out to get a new one. The one they roll with? Well, let's hope it works out.
This story is based of one of my long-term interests; computers! More specifically my own frustrations with trying to look for a new one when I was coming up with the idea back in 2021.
Jade prolonging her and Iri's laptop. I've done this myself for both costs & not liking the new stuff out there
The first few pages are based on my times prolonging my older computers. About a year ago I decided to sit down and look for a new laptop because with me working with larger & larger files, I needed to search for something that could handle them. And somehow that wove it's way into a comic project!
The funny thing is even though (thankfully) I haven't run into as bad of an issue Jade and Iri will, a few things came close. For one I had to upgrade my computer faster than expected because the battery started failing! But it went smoother because I spent a long time researching beforehand (something Jade and Iri didn't do). Insert that saying about "life imitating art" am I right?
And now for the comic's main characters! Jade and Iri!
Jade and Iri are two long-term OCs of mine. In fact, both of them used to be account mascots at one point or another! Though Io's long taken over that role at this point, but I still keep them around for story writing. Now the two are both partners in work and partners in life!
Jade Embers is a part time illustrator and the more fool-hardy of the two. Iri Desa is a freelance graphic designer who's the more cautious and reserved one. The two rent an apartment and share their studio space together.
The first 8 pages of PC-Mania go up on May 15th, 2023 & will update monthly afterwards!
It's hosted on Comic Fury & Tapas! (though after 5/15, Comic Fury updates first, Tapas updates a week later)

I'm so glad to have to finally start releasing this project & for those looking to read I hope to see y'all soon!
