BlackGuard: Ghost Of Sins Past chapter 2 is on it's way. To our BlackGuard fans out there, so sorry for the delay. We've been busy....but we got you covered! @jerrodbosc @bosccomics Music: "Nice To Meet Me" by Zack Hemsey #BlackGuard #bosccomics #jonniestaples #dariusdoome #odan #afiamelanin #elimercer #sequoia #webcomics (at Savannah, Georgia)

Here’s more Project BlackGuard promo art ft. the team’s trigger happy maverick, Jonnie Staples. I love the entire BlackGuard team....I do. However, Jonnie is my favorite to draw because he IS me, to a degree. My approach to Staples was always how i play video games, which is: “skim through the controls manual, completely skip the mission brief, run in blind and just shoot anything that moves.” THAT’S Jonnie Staples. Combine that with a set of morals that fluctuates with how much money he has in the bank, and you have a guy who you would NOT want coming to save your life. Who in the hell would even let him join a super hero team?😂 Wannna see more of Jonnie?

Throwback Thursday to two of my fave pieces of art I drew for the BlackGuard web comic. These were the covers for our “Psycho Therapy” arc. In this story, after the BlackGuard have seriously botched a mission(again), a psychiatrist(Dr. Cranium) is sent to help analyze the team in hopes of turning them into a functioning unit. However, in the process, the reckless heroes manage drive their Doc to brink of madness....and then, push him over. I think I enjoyed this story so much, because I love stories that examine the mind of an individual. We not only slowly see Dr. Cranium have a mental break down, we also dive into the minds of our “heroes” and discover what makes each team member tick. The “Project BlackGuard” KickStarter is still underway, link is in my bio! #projectblackguard #afiamelanin #jonniestaples #odan #dariusdoome #throwbackthursday (at Savannah, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx0MpYbgVSK/?igshid=wcykv9ynwvw4

From comics to animation! One of the cool things about working on “Project BlackGuard” has been seeing my character designs for our characters being modified for animation by our animator, @fergusonwinston. I specifically design characters as if they are going be used in animation. What that means is, making a design that is instantly recognized by it’s shapes and colors, while keeping the details SIMPLE. Think Mickey Mouse, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario, even Spider Man. It was cool to see that not much needed to be changed to keep the BlackGuard’s look for animation. There’s still time to support the KickStarter, too!
