You've been watching Superman Returns again haven't you Alex?
Nice start ... I like the layout and the point of view ... great sketch Alex.

That's a cool looking pic! At first I thought he was attacking the chopper, then I realized he was keeping it from crashing.
Oh that is sweet, but all I can think about when I look at it is the news reporter saying:
"Oh the humanity, a copter crashed in Atlas today killing scores of Heroes gathered under the Atlas statue having a costume contest."

LOL
The concept is all NPG, we played with some ideas, and the pov of the pilot worked best. Yes it's very Superman but the comparison really can't be avoided. I had wondered why he was the only hero doing anything, but as Black_Magistar mentioned they were all too involved in a costume contest to notice! I believe there's a screenshot of someone taunting a giant monster into that area into a group of unsuspecting heroes!
Maybe this IS the GM!!
(( now there's a random GM event.. the blimp occasionally crashes and everyone with flight powers has to attempt to 'touch' it to keep from smushing the Plaza ))

That's amazing, Alex, I can't wait to see the finished product.
Great perspective! I love the entire idea. So very cool and I'm sure it will rock when finished!
Very cool angle, great action shot.
Looking great Alex!
Thats amazing, Alex!!!

Oh that is just awesome! Always good to see people doing the sort of hero-y things they don't represent in the game much...

Looks like one hell of a fight. I really like the perspective of the shot.
Will be a really cool piece once its done.
Loving this one, Alex. You have such a wonderful dynamic with your drawings. Something I wish I could achieve.

NPG Saves the Day!

For the last two days I thought I really need to give you a nice reminder about my commission. 
That's nice progress you got there.
I always think NPG is the save people first, kick villian later kind superhero. So, commissioning someone to draw a save the day pic is what I always have in mind. Then I find Alex, who shows so much talent in his sketches. After a little chat with him, he allowed me to pay him in several payments over the last few months so I could commission something big.
When the pic is finished, it will be a single character in complex environment color poster! (With debris flying, bystanders screaming, fleeing, hands waving in the air!)
But....well...I will leave the "buts" between me & Alex. *looks at superman posing doll and cardboard helicopter*
It's been a rough week or so, been under the weather, once a year my asthma likes to remind me that it's the boss of me! Plus that Artist SG is TOO MUCH FUN!!! Why is it so much FUN!!!!!!
This is actually one of my more ambitious pieces, so gonna focus all my kung fu toward it for a bit!
So to distract you all while you wait, here's me and my helicopter: Yay Helicopter!!!!
And here's one more, mine is the blue one! More helicopter action!
Lady Bobba eats a goldfish! That's hilarious!

Thank you, that is indeed my brilliant voice over, I hope you enjoyed it!
Here's an update
Working in layers, this is the NPG layer with the copter layer turned off.
Wow! That's much much better! 
glad you like it, more to come, soon!!!
NPG Saves the Day!
It's still really rough, but I wanted to get this up, it will remind me to draw instead of spending all my time running with all the good folks here in the forum!!
Originally I had the pilot in the left seat, but as everyone knows, helicopter pilots sit on the right side!! I still need to flesh out Atlas City in the back, and I'm hoping to get a nice reflection of the pilot's reaction in the windshield.
