TF2 Newbs (Team Fortress 2) Blog

I’m not sure if everyone has got a chance to check out our twice a week webcomic yet – if you havn’t please check it out @ http://www.tf2newbs.com/daily/ – Team Fortress 2 Webcomic. We have a handful of active script writers and a couple of active artists, but we could always use more. So if you’ve been trying to figure out a way to give back to the community a little bit, this is the perfect chance.

Even if you aren’t a great artist, and just like to doodle some we are interested in having you help – I will hand color your art in MS paint if thats what needs to be done. =) If you aren’t good at art, but are good at posing in GMod you can use that to create the strips.

There are no minimum per month commitments, so don’t worry if you don’t have a lot of time, we just want to have a healthy pool of talent to spread the load between.

All contributors will get full credit and acknowledgement for their contributions. On top of this I will offer any of our community based perks to contributors. This includes things like reserves, hats, advertisements for events or services, etc.

If you are interested in helping, join the Newbs Daily TF2 Webcomic Steam Group – or contact me on steam (Octodhd on steam) – you can leave a note on my comments and I’ll get back to you.

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!
