Announcing – Newbs Daily – The _NEW_ TF2 Comic

Posted on: August 29th, 2009 by octo dhd

TF2Newbs is proud to announce something badass and wonderful that makes the world a better place.

Newbs Daily – The TF2 Comic of win.

What we need -

Artists – Duh
Inkers – convert the hand drawn picture scans into vector images
Image Colorers – take the ‘inked’ image and add the coloring and shadows
Writers – Someone has to come up with the ideas and the jokes.  This can all be observations of trends, things that were said in game (that wouldn’t be inside jokes)

The Newbs Daily strip will be released at a frequency of.. Hmm, we are still working on that detail, it will depend on responses and how fast the scripting goes.  We would like to have several recurring artists that are interested in having their comic run at a regular interval.  We plan to also include guest artists in the rotation if outside people become interested.  The goal here is to have a fun time and have a funny / light hearted strip that can help bring some joy to the world.  The current plan is to rotate through the artists to keep things fresh and poppin’ and to remove any unnneeded pressure on participants :)   Artists will be able to do short series of strips on consecutive release days if they’d like to.

We are hoping for a healthy mix of styles and methods.  We don’t want to put limits on peoples creativity so if you have the skill to do hand drawn, computer drawn, machinima (think screenshots with word bubbles) creative work than we want you on board.

If you have any interest in being a featured artist or helping out with any of our other jobs please drop me an email: [email protected]  Be sure to put ‘Newbs Daily’ in the subject line so it isn’t considered spam, or hit us up on the TF2 Newbs Forums – TF2 Newbs Forums – Comic Helper Thread.

Stay Tuned – I’ll be posting additional information soon!

Are you talking to me? Using Face Poser to Create TF2 Machinima

Posted on: September 2nd, 2008 by Newbs Staff

Have you spent the past 10 months wishing you could make a funny short movie starring a cast of happy Team Fortress 2 Characters? Nope, me neither – Just kidding ;)   But now that I have read this spiffy new face poser tutorial by TF2 Newbs own [MLW] Maj. Cottonmouth for beginners I’m starting to get a lot of ideas on things I’d like to see done :)

Major Cottonmouth’s tutorial takes you step by step through the entire process of creating a simple short animated short that is well within all of our reach.

The tutorial consists of 49 (or is it 50?) pictures with helpful ‘click here’ style notes to make the process as easy as possible for first timers.   So if you have a little bit of time, and are able to read – check it out, create your own machinima, and drop me a line to have it showcased on our website / blog (the video section is coming very soon).

Big ups to Maj. Cottonmouth.  I can’t wait to read the next one in the series.
