ComicTWART: Johnny Recon

Okay, here is this weeks Comic Twart Bootleg. The guys over at ComicTWART were gracous to have me playing along as a Junior Memeber so I'm going to keep trying to do it every week. I know a bunch of those dudes, and if there is one thing they all have in common, besides being super-talented artists, it's that they are super nice guys too.

This week the pick was from Mitch Gerads. Mitch followed Francesco Francavilla's lead and chose his own character JOHNNY RECON! To learn more about the fantastic adventures of Johnny and his co-creater Mitch, please visit www.popgunpulp.com.

As far as my peice; not very happy with it. I was trying a few too many things here and I don't think I was able to accomplich much of what I set out to do. Obviously I was going for a Kirby feel with the giant robot, and out of the entire peice, I like it the most. Unfortunately, there are too many other things wrong with it. The figures are stiff looking, and overshadowed. The composition is bad and the whole thing feels drab to me.

Oh well, back to the drawing board. If nothing else, I think I learned a few things on this, about what not to do.
