Black Key Incubus – Chapter 2 Cover Art

When I started this chapter, I thought to myself, "What's the least predictable plot direction we could take?" The answer: a battle-to-the-death demon tournament xDChapter 2 is all about starting the secondary major plot arc for Black Key Incubus: The Inferni Kai'ba. It's a tournament of strength for demons of royal bloodlines. Basically, it's so they can show off their power and might. The winner of this battle-royale-sty...

Where it all began

"Magic Training" by Daryl Toh, commissioned by James Schleisman (Me)A little backstory on BKI, I got myself an iPad Pro as a graduation present in the fall of 2017. I started drawing and sketching gay romance and art. I really got into DeviantArt, Tumblr, and Pinterest, and that's where I discovered Daryl Toh's work! His art style was so inspirational to me and has had a huge impact on me as a writer and artist.One day, I saw he w...

Comic Script 001 - Chapter 1, Page 9

Hey Comic Peeps :)Here is the first script preview for how I write out each page of Black Key Incubus!So when I start writing each chapter, I usually start by providing Daryl some context of the setting. For Chapter 1, that's Red Cove, OR. As a writer, I do this first because it gives the artist some background into the particular scenes we'll be creating together. It's for all those unspoken bits and pieces that go into each panel, l...

How to make your first story as a comic writer

When I wrote the first page to Black Key Incubus, it was really intimidating to think about all the elements that go into a comic/graphic novel. Finding an affordable artist, publishing, retaining ownership of copyrights, etc. – I about pulled my hair out half the time just trying to figure out which step I needed to tackle first.But what stuck out was that I needed to make the story first. Duh, right?I had so many great ideas in my head, and I...
