It took inspiration from this:

Happy Birthday Comic Who

@ComicWho

Here we are, a full year is past and we have had a lot of fun making our strips! We met a lot of friends and we had a lot of loyal followers! We have a new big family here on internet and we want to celebrate our birthday with a little surprise for you all!

This is going to be the front cover (Benny Hill style ^_^) of our first annual book with the collection of our strips, confidentials and much more... but we're going to talk about this in a future post where we are going to share even the back cover with other characters from our first year (we want to include every Comic Who character, but they will be split between front cover and back cover... and trust me, the back cover is going to be very funny :D).

And now it's the moment of thanks! First of all we want to show you a video! It was made by Lady Soliloque a long time ago, but I was waiting for a very special occasion to share it on the blog. Which better occasion of our birthday?

This was one of the greatest gift a Doctor Who comic could receive and we wanted to thank her in our style with a little PinUp of her favorite characters!

From left to right: Jack, Ianto, Gene Genie, Tenny and Simmy

There's another man who gifted us all his support and friendship. A men who made Comic Who one of the most famous Doctor Who web-comic on internet! He was (and I'm sure he will be) always on our side! We really want to give big thank to Craig Hurle, and we know only one way to say "Thank you!"

A great year is finished but a new one is starting and I can assure you it will be great, so please, stay with us and follow our adventures! In the meantime, it's time to celebrate so HAPPY BIRTHDAY COMIC WHO!

Special PinUps

From the beginning of this new year we retrace the history of our comic month by month, but we haven't shown yet all the amazing stuff we created. In this special post I want to show you all the PinUps realized during the 2011. 

Have you ever noticed tha we have different headers on the top of our website? They are loaded randomly and they are composed by a PinUp combined with a catchphrase taken from the TV series:

I'm going to die... in a dungeon... in Cardiff!

I'm definetly a mad man with a box

Things sometimes don't happen to me in the right order, especially weddings!

Do you want me to repeat the question?

One of the best catchphrases in the TV series is "Basically, Run!"; it summarize perfectly the character of the Doctor! Enemies must run away from him, but also companions have a lot of that "run thing" to deal with. We tried to portray this quote with our personal style:

We often use this image as a header for our posts or other stuff. It's basically the same but without the cathphrase and with our logo

When we introduced Limeykins, our tiny mascotte, we designed a new logo to include our lovely green teddy bear.

Apart from the logos and headers, we have made many illustrations during the last year in order to accompany our strips. The next group of PinUps is named Silent Nigths. While Eccly and Tenny are asleep, Smithy is frightened by a Silent perched on a ceiling fan, and he also stole his fez!

This is also the first appearance of the Rose Doll, a lot of people loved the fact that Tenny is holding it while sleeping. We chose to make the doll appear even into a couple of strips (this and this).

Some of the illustrations were made during a LiveStream session where Elisa has shown the making of a particular drawing. The following is a good example of how things go from the scratch.

One of the best illustration made by Elisa was dedicated to a great friend of us: Lady Soliloque.

These are her favourite characters from the Who-verse. To be more precise, we have Jack, Ianto, Tenny and Simmy.

Beside the illustrations and the strips, we promoted some events which required custum images. The followings were realized for our contests (The script contest and the Christmas contest) and for a project we're working on (The Rescue)

This is quite all for this year, but before leaving you, we want to remind you that the big day is arrived. Tomorrow is going to be our first birthday and we are working on something to make this day special. Anyway, just to help get you in the party, this is a special image dedicated to birthdays!

See you tomorrow!

PS: If you didn't notice, all the images are clickable ;-)

Happy Birthday Karen Gillan

Today is the birthday of one of the best companion ever (well, except for Rory ^_^).
We would like to celebrate this day in Comic Who style and we really wish her a great day and... hey, Smithy, what are you doing? That's not a Fish Finger and Custard cake!

Happy Birthday Doctor Smith

We're a little late, but we want to wish to Matt Smith a really happy birthday.
We prepared a special cake for him, obviously with fish fingers and custard.

Rory The Roman

You know, the Doctor Who main character is no longer the Doctor himself. A new rising star has overshadowed him...

I'm a male, but I love him with both my hearts, just one quote: "Would you like me to repeat the question?"

Ok, you know who I'm talking about, the last centurion, the boy who waited, the man who lived more then the Doctor and died so many times: Rory The Roman!!!

A great friend of us (and a great Doctor Who fan), Chiara Cavalli, realized a Rory staff doll for us upon Elisa's design and we want to share with you all the magnificence of her creation! Enjoy the gallery...
