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 xD
Chapter 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-style tournament will inherit the Kingdom of All D...

Hi everybody :)
For our comic update for this month, I wanted to share with you all the Patreon schedule I've been working on as well as touching on a few things to keep me organized.
First, I've created a content schedule for posting going forward. I've been kinda just posting whenever I want without direction, but that's going to change now. Each month, here's how the content will be posted (based on rewards...

In honor of page 26 finally going live today, I wanted to share with you all one of my favorite illustrations of the two that Daryl made.
This page, and the other single-frame images like this, will be chapter dividers in the print copy of the comic. Hope you like it as much as I do :) I'm thinking of offering this as a poster option on the Redbubble account, what do you guys think?
Have a great Friday <3

"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 was taking commissions on his DeviantArt pag...

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, like what type of trees grow there? What...

Hi Benevolent Demons! :D
Here is part 1 of April's Q&A session! When I originally filmed all of the questions, it was closer to 16 minutes, so I decided to break up the video into 3 parts. Those videos are currently being uploaded to YouTube and that are taking FOREVER. I'll post them on here when they're done xP

I love seeing other people draw my boys 😋 something about it just fills me with so much joy. I think what makes the feeling so special is knowing that other people love them as much as I do.

2019-03-19 06:23:04 +0000 UTC View PostHow 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.
