That's pretty amazing. I wish I could draw like you.
How long did it take to draw that?
That is an amazing piece.
From the accompanying blurb, it sounds as if you did a bit of photo editing. If so, you did it very seamlessly.
"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."
awesome!

Wow! Are any of the old sci-fi rags still around? That's the sort of cover they'd hand to a writer and say "Give us a story about this."
Classic look. If Asimov's or one of those venerable old mags is still around, I'd submit it to them.
Asimov's, Starlog, Fangoria... 
couple it with a bodice-ripper horror story, and Heavy Metal might take it too.

Thanks I appreciate that!
When I say "references" or "photo references" It means I keep a copy of the image up in photoshop so I can try to re-create its likeness. I in no way, shape or form manipulate photos or trace photos - I just use the image to look at so I can accurately draw them by hand.

It took me about 2 and a half weeks at 8+ hours a day.

If that starts to happen, please let me know ... I'd be glad to help in the anti-shrivelling process by offering some of my CoH characters as inspiration. 
Seriously, do you have your commission rates posted at DA?

I totally misread this as "addiction". Turns out, I wasn't far off!
That's a great piece! My favorite part is that the monster appears not to be looking at the guys in the foreground but the viewer as in "you're next on the menu!"
(wishing I still had 8+ hours a day for art making)
Awesome stuff. Incredible.

Hehe, thanks Dark E! I don't have them up yet - but I will very soon; probably within the next couple months.
Our baby is due in literally about 13 days and after that im going to be a stay at home dad, so 'ill be taking assignments on a very limited basis in addition to doing commissions.
Ill definately post rates and announce when commissions will be available.

Really great piece Phantom, reminds me of something you'd see in Clover Field or an Alien movie.

Forgot to mention this to you Dark-E.
Since you were the first person to inquite about commissions a little while ago ive got you top of the list - hopefully youll still be interested once I start taking them.
Thanks so much for your continued interest man I really appreciate it.
Another mind blowing piece. Looks like a movie/story I'd love to see/read. You've raised your own bar, which was already amazingly high /em clap
my wife said, "eeeew."
I though it was awesome! I want to know how to get that painted look, even if I would never have the patience to do it.

Im so glad you think that Larissa, it honestly means a lot, thank you!
I'm definitely going to have to do some saving up for when you open up commissions. I've only done a few and haven't received any yet, but I'm hoping this years bonus in September/October will be nice enough to get a couple.

Wow. Very nice.
Just wrapped up a project and added it to my DA gallery if anyone is interested.
If you are I hope you enjoy it!
