Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Jon, "Stephen"
Theme: Humor
Medium: Traditional: pen and marker
Artist Website/Gallery: J0j2 @ dA

Why this piece is awesome: It's adorable. "Stephen" being condescending, Jon being crabby, both of them being precious.

More chibis by this author: I got you this banana..., I hate you ("Stephen" vs. a teddy bear), and No Bears Allowed (in which a sleepover is derailed).

Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Jon Stewart
Theme: Humor
Medium: Digital painting
Artist Website/Gallery: yurixmeister @ dA

Why this piece is awesome: There's a canonical Green Lantern by the name of John Stewart, which has led to more than a few works with the Daily Show host wearing the ring and the uniform. This is one of the most stylish, with really amazing coloring.

Fandom: Fake News
Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Jon + correspondents circa 2012
Medium: Digital art
Theme: Black & White
Artist Website/Gallery: The-G on dA

Why this piece is awesome: All the correspondents are instantly recognizable...and in these precisely drawn Revolutionary War uniforms. Just handwave the fact that Sam and Jason are Canadian. (John Oliver's nationality needs no handwaving, as you will see.)

Medium: Pencil, digitally colored

Artist: thngwhtsqks

Why this piece is awesome: Genderswap is a small but robust trend in this fandom, especially in the fanart. The dates on this piece are a bit behind the times, but Joan Stewart in a tux + Stephanie Colbert in a bikini = a good way to ring in any new year.

Fandom: Fake News
Subject: Jon Stewart
Medium: Painting
Artist: carts

Why this piece is awesome: The vibrantly full-color flag stands out against the soft blue-grey monochrome of the rest of the portrait, but it still doesn't manage to overwhelm Jon's expression, which shines with intelligence and optimism.

Artist: Page Branson of Fake News Rumble

Why this piece is awesome: These are character designs for the jaw-droppingly epic comic Fake News Rumble, in which Dick Cheney is a dimension-hopping evil alien overlord, and it's up to the super-powered Daily Show cast and friends to stop him. They're full of clever details and subtle visual references to other series; you don't lose anything major by not recognizing them, but it's all the more fun if you do. Also, they're well-designed, and just plain cool-looking.

Why this piece is awesome: Three charming and ridiculously detailed paper children. The color blending on the figures themselves is fabulous, and the environmental interaction in the poses is too cute.

Artist: selfunderstared

Why this piece is awesome: Transitioning from the theme I did last month, it's Jon Stewart in a suit-and-tie-inspired sailor fuku. (A large collection of such crossover art can be found here.) The frilly under-skirt and the tiara in his hair really make the ensemble.
