That would be cool, yes.
And he's a wizard when it comes to comic panels - when Teri-Minx and I scripted out the 'scene' we wanted for "Soul and Tiamat", he went nuts with the pencils and we both said "That's IT! Run with it!" with hardly any revisions at all. The only tricky part was the incidental lighting, and that turned out great too.
"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."
Yeah, I don't think he gets enough credit really for that sort of thing. Pinups are nice and all but what's really bad-[censored] is being able to tell a smooth flowing story with sequential art. He worked really well with the 8 page Bayani story and I'm pretty pleased with the way it came out.
Brandon never ceases to WOW me
Since I already worship Brandon as a god, this is only further proof of his divinity.
Also, it's a gorgeous and exciting piece of art. Congratulations!

Wow sweet piece Kat!!
Love the action and i agree with Bayani that he certainly has a smooth style in telling a story! So how many in the set?

Thanks for posting these Kat -- I'm a LAZY interneter sometimes. Feral Kat/ Kitty are quickly becoming the CoH characters I've drawn the most. How do you not enjoy drawing super-hot babes with claws and skin-tight outfits? Almost done with Part One of this set!
Thanks for all the kind words guys -- the main reason I love doing commissions is really nice feedback like this. Warms my heart on cold winter nights 
I love drawing pin-ups of characters, but my true passion is Sequential Art.
I'm glad you guys are seeing an animation influence. While I haven't done animation (drawing a sequence of pictures that, when put together on film create the illusion of movement) in a while, my day job now is doing storyboards for animation. And Bayani hit it dead on -- it's WAY more fun because you get to pretend you're a director. The storyboard artists come up with the angle and composition of the shots as well as draw out the key poses for the animators to use as a guide. I do my thing, then they do all the hard work!
Friday nights are a blast now -- my kids and I sit and watch the line-up on Cartoon Network. Last Friday was a "Secret Saturdays" show that I did boards on, and next week is the premiere of an episode of "Ben 10 Alien Force" I helped with. I have to admit that I "accidentally" hit Pause on the DVR when my name is onscreen and ask my kids "Whose name is that?" "Daddy's!!". Again, warms the heart
Right now I'm diving in to storyboards for the upcoming "Avengers" series, due out in...2011 
Ah well, until then, keep an eye on my DA page where I'll post updates when my lazy internet butt gets around to it!

It's always a pleasure to look at Brandon's stuff.
This is a great piece to add to your collection.
I am going to ask him if I can post the storyboard rough he did. It really is fantastic.
