Your smile charms millions, ladies line up just to get a selfie near you, the sun rises simply to make your glorious locks shine, you are Golden Boy.
Don't recognize the art? Well, you might, its the in-set picture used for the newspaper on the special reward card, Stop the Presses. This art was done before we had decided on the reward power cards for the short story contest. Nick wanted something special that related to the contest, and I had the idea of "stop the presses" since the winners would have their stories featured on the blog and in the game. This art will likely see other uses later, in full color.
About the art: I was going for a generic superhero. Dashing, daring, and a little bit loaded on the ego. Initially I had planned on this being the art for the card, "new uniform", but that was scrapped allow this art for other uses. My intention for the art was to also have him posing like a statue, sort of showing off his new uniform, his physique, and just drinking in all the drooling looks from rabid fans. The name for the art and card was inspired by Nick Shapiro. He told me that he was a little tired of the basic "golden boy" heroes appearing in the art. I had, unintentionally, drawn the exact hero he was sick of seeing. But, he liked this art and we will use it.
