Johnny Recon by Nathan Fairbairn

Yeah, I know what you're thinking. And maybe you're right. But I don't care. I still say that if you're drawing a space raygun and it doesn't look like a hairdryer with a dildo stuck in it, then you're drawing it wrong.

Wow, I am SO late with this one. But I hope you dig it, anyway.



It's called "Why Is This Man Smiling?" :)

My apologies to Mitch for the lateness of this Twart. Johnny Recon is a terrific character and I had a blast playing around with this piece (which is my clumsy nod to Al Williamson, Wally Wood and Frank Frazetta).

If you want to see more Johnny (and believe me, you DO want to see more), you can make a big difference by contributing to Scott Dillon and Mitch Gerads' Johnny Recon Kickstarter campaign. It's money well-spent.

Here's my belated Twart. Apologies to Mitch for being late but I really wanted to capture this idea. I've been meaning to have this up sooner but things kept getting in the way.

Updated with the coloured poster version.

JOHNNY RECON by Evan Shaner

Thought I'd try and sneak this in there just as Clara de Noche week is starting. I did this one wholly digitally and it took me waaaaay longer than I expected, thus the day-late posting. I took just about everything I could from the first issue, everything else I made up. Scott and Mitch have a great character on their hands.

JOHNNY RECON (sorta) by Mr. Hawthorne

Mitch, and everyone following along with the blog. Please accept this I.O.U. in place of the actual JOHNNY RECON piece I was going to post. The week started with two very sick kids, and a trip to the ER. It ended with two very sick parents and me not finishing the piece I intended to do.

Very sorry, Mitch. I hate to let you down but promise to make it up.... er....s'cuse me..........







.....hmm, uh.... sorry about that.

So, uh, as I was saying...I promise to make it up to you soon.

Best,
Mike

JOHNNY RECON by Declan Shalvey

Neeeeaaaarrrrrllllly didn't get this done this week. I pencilled out a version, decided i hated it, then decided to redo it, then realized i didn't really have the time, then did it anyway out of guilt!A rollercoaster of emotion, as you can imagine.

It was tough to come up with an image i liked for this week's Twart. I basically just drew Mal Reynolds really.

Here is my contribution for this week's theme, Mitch Gerads and Scott Dillon's Johnny Recon. This is a fun character and I wish I had more time to work on this sketch. This one took about 30 minutes and it was a struggle to find that kind of free time in my week. As always, I'm blown away by what everyone else has created here this week!

Johnny Recon by Mitch Breitweiser

I LOVE LOVE LOVE me some Johnny Recon, so I made this my most involved Twart yet. Props to Mitch for creating such a fun character, and thanks for inviting me to be a part of it. In fact all you guys are an inspiration.

much twart love,

Mitch

I think PLANET OF DOOM with Johnny Recon is a movie everyone should go to watch :)
And I think having the Twart done and off my plate will let me get now to those deadlines and commissions that are waiting for me ;)

Thanks for the cool character you and Scott created, Mitch: drawing this reminded me of how much fun it was to work on that issue of FEAR AGENT a couple of years ago :)

Hope you guys digs it.

Cheers,
Francesco

JOHNNY RECON by Mitch Gerads

I just couldn't NOT do it! This week's character choice landed on me and I just couldn't NOT pick my boy. Johnny Recon is the book I'm currently working on and created with my best friend and writer of the series, Scott Dillon.

Johnny Recon is a space adventurer through and through. Scott and I have this huge love of the sci-fi pulps and Johnny Recon helps us scratch every one of those story itches that plague us when we're on other projects.

The timing couldn't be better either, as we are reaching the tail end of our 90 day Kickstarter pre-sale campaign for Johnny Recon No.02. If after seeing what I'm sure will be a ridiculously amazing collection of illustrations this week here on Comic TWART, you want to learn more about the book or even better yet, learn about the book AND pre-order a copy or copies of JOHNNY RECON No.02, head over and check out our KICKSTARTER campaign. Right now, besides conventions, placing an order through Kickstarter is our only distribution system. Hopefully if we're super successful with it, we'll be able to change that in the future!

JOHNNY RECON KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN!

So prepare yourself for one hell of a thrilling week rife with space chills, planetary spills, and Daring HI-FI Adventure!

JOHNNY RECON INTERNET CONTEST from co-creator, Scott Dillon!

Hi Everyone!

Mitch and I have been talking the last few days, and we are both so excited about the success of the project (reaching an amount way beyond either of our expectations) that we've decided to offer one lucky backer a page of original art from the second issue (currently listed as a $100 pledge reward for our project)!

After the time on our Kickstarter project has run out, we will pull a name out of a very cool space helmet (you didn't think I was going to say hat, did you), and that person will receive a page of original art along with their other rewards! The very, very cool thing about this opportunity is that, whether or not you've pledged up until this point, all backers will be entered into the drawing! Our small way of saying thanks to all of you for making our dreams come true!

Cheers,
Scott
