Rescue Mission, by Carl Schulz

Posted by Daniel Sharp / in Fan Art / 2 comments

So we participated in another Secret Santa webcomic exchange. By chance, we happened to give to the same person we received from! Carl Schulz, creator of the webcomic Inhumation, made us this awesome guest comic. While some backstory elements may not be accurate (you’ll find out in Chapter 4), it is hilarious. I especially love Jane’s little robotic arm :)

EDIT: Bumping this to include it in guest strip week 2014, even though we got it for Christmas 2013 :)

Vault Boy, by Iain Oakley

Got this lovely little fan-art/guest-strip today from Iain Oakley, creator of the webcomic Snapped Controller and fellow Underdog. I’m going to step in and say that the two characters we see are Tenzin and Jorge, for no real reason other than I feel like it. And I miss Jorge (spoiler!) and this made me think of him, trying his best to up his accuracy to be a good sniper for the squad.

Thanks again, Iain!

PS Here is a page from the Fallout wiki referencing what Jorge is talking about. I had to look it up, because I didn’t know :)

EDIT: Bumping this to include it in guest strip week, since it’s excellent :)

Air Conditioning, by Ethan Kocak

Recently I commissioned artist Ethan Kocak, creator of the webcomic Black Mudpuppy, to make us a funny strip, a la “gag a day” style. He made this, which I think is awesome, and inspired my desire to have a Guest Week.

EDIT: Bumping this to the front of the guest week line, since its awesomeness inspired it all :)

 

Guest Weeks 2014

Posted by Daniel Sharp / in Comic / 3 comments

Alright, having finished up this nice dark and dreary chapter, it’s time for some lightheartedness and laughter. So sit back and enjoy over a dozen funny guest strips from various artists around the internet. Make sure to check out the links to their comics in the commentary below each image.

EDIT: All the guest comics are archived in the Fan Art section under the tag “Guest Strip”. Read the first one!

Call for Guest Strips: 12-1-14

Hey everyone! At the end of Chapter 4 we’re wanting to take a little bit of a hiatus (2-4 weeks, probably) to give Seba a bit of a breather (don’t want him to burn out artistically!) and build our buffer up even more. But I don’t want to stop posting TDA related content in that time. So along with me continuing with “Wednesday Spotlights” and “Why I Read” reviews, and writing some more Lore and Science posts, I’d like to get some Guest Strips to post :)

Here are my thoughts/conditions/incentives, etc.

* I would specifically like to get humorous strip ideas. Our comic is often quite a downer, and I’d love to see what jokes, gags, funny situations, etc, you all can come up with using our characters and setting. I included the strip I commissioned from artist Ethan Kocak (Air Conditioning) as the featured image above to give you an idea of what I mean. Other examples include Marius’ “Shadowpuppets“, Ian Oakely’s “Vault Boy“, and Carl Schulz’s “Rescue Mission“.

* Try to keep the strips PG-13. Really, just read our comic, and make sure your strip isn’t more mature than our content.

* Ownership of characters, etc, legal blah blah, fan arts you give us belong to us. You will ALWAYS get credit as the creator of said strip, though, no matter how we present it. That said, we would still ok it with you, if for example, we wanted to print a “Demon Archives Funny Pages” or something and include your work.

* I’m not picky about “quality”, style or anything. All submissions will be spotlighted, and we will link back to and promote whatever site the creator of said strip wishes. In fact, you can send us a leaderboard banner (728×90 style) advertising your comic, etc, and we will post it in the creator commentary section below the guest strip.

* Guest strips need to be AT LEAST 1000 pixels wide. Bigger is always better for quality’s sake, as I can resize the image smaller if needed.

* If you have funny ideas for a gag strip but not the artistic skills, let me know anyway, and maybe I can get an artist friend or Seba to draw it up briefly :)

Other than that, go crazy! Mimic our style, use your own, throw in cameo characters, whatever! One panel to multi-panel strips/pages are welcome. The Hiatus, and Guest week(s) will begin on December 1st, 2014, so I’d obviously need your entry before then.
