Incara The Northman
Project Description:
“Incara The Northman” is a captivating comic book project that I’ve been working on, and it’s a departure from the world of game design. In this visually striking story, I serve as both the artist and co-writer, responsible for its art, design, and overall visual representation.
The comic unfolds in an alternate universe situated in the northern regions of ancient Russia. Here, different tribes worship a deity known as “Vor, of the seven stars.” These tribes hold varying beliefs about Vor’s nature, with some considering him benevolent and others advocating sacrificial rituals in his name. The story delves into the conflicts that arise among these tribes due to their differing religious ideals.
One of the central characters, Gar, a devout follower of Vor, tragically loses his life along with his wife during a raid by a rival village. However, his journey takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Vor in the afterlife. Vor presents Gar with a fateful proposition – the chance to return to Earth, granted eternal life, and the opportunity to save his captured children from impending sacrifice. Gar, faced with the heart-wrenching decision, accepts this gift from Vor, binding his fate to a dark purpose.
As the story unfolds, we witness the complexity of Gar’s situation. He finds himself cursed to kill in the name of Vor, unable to escape the deity’s influence. However, a glimmer of hope emerges through the character of Asta, Gar’s wife, who develops a unique connection with her ancestors. With this newfound connection, Asta manages to prevent Vor’s curse from fully consuming Gar’s consciousness.
Together, Gar and Asta embark on a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns, joined by other travelers they meet along the way. Their quest involves overcoming the challenges presented by the seven stars and ultimately breaking free from Vor’s curse. “Incara The Northman” is a visually stunning and emotionally charged comic that explores themes of faith, sacrifice, and the enduring bonds of love and family. It’s a project I’m deeply passionate about and one that I’m excited to showcase in a portfolio-style website.
