The Plot
INCUBUS, a new indie comic book, follows the life of Bruce Barbary, a deeply flawed man struggling with the consequences of his past mistakes. Unable to rectify his wrongs, Bruce must embark on a profound journey of self-forgiveness to become a better person. This gripping narrative explores themes of regret and redemption, offering readers a deep look at the human condition and the power of self-forgiveness.
Themes
At its core, INCUBUS delves into the heavy themes of regret and forgiveness. It captures the painful yet essential process of acknowledging one's flaws and learning to move past them. Bruce's journey mirrors the universal struggle of facing our darkest moments and finding a way to forgive ourselves.
Inspiration
The inspiration for INCUBUS stems from my own childhood and the reflections on who I was as a person during that time. This comic is a personal exploration of my journey and transformation, reflecting on the mistakes made and the lessons learned along the way. It’s a deeply personal narrative that many can relate to, as we all have our battles with self-forgiveness and growth.
Art Style
The artistic style of INCUBUS draws inspiration from two iconic comic artists: David Finch, renowned for his work on Batman, and Mike Mignola, the creator of Hellboy. This blend of styles creates a visually compelling experience, combining detailed, dynamic illustrations with a dark, atmospheric aesthetic.
Creative Process
Creating INCUBUS was a meticulous process where storyboarding played a crucial role. By developing the rough story first, I allowed the imagery and writing to evolve together, each element bouncing off the other. This harmonious process ensured that the narrative and visuals were deeply intertwined, creating a cohesive and immersive comic.
