We report the discovery, spectroscopic confirmation, and first lens models of the first, strongly lensed quasars from a combined search in WISE and Gaia-DR1 over the DES footprint. Their Einstein radii span a range between ≈2.0 arcsec and ≈0.4 arcsec. Two of these (WGD2038-4008, RA = 20:38:02.65, Dec. = −40:08:14.64; WGD2021-4115, RA = 20:21:39.45, Dec. = −41:15:57.11) also have confirmed deflector redshifts. The four-image lens WGD2038-4008, with source and deflector redshiftss= 0.777 ± 0.001 andzl= 0.230 ± 0.002, respectively, has a deflector with radiusReff≈ 3.4 arcsec, stellar mass, and extended isophotal shape variation. Simple lens models yield Einstein radiiRE= (1.30 ± 0.04) arcsec, axis ratioq= 0.75 ± 0.1 (compatible with that of the starlight) and considerable shear-ellipticity degeneracies. The two-image lens WGD2021-4115 haszs= 1.390 ± 0.001 andzl= 0.335 ± 0.002, and Einstein radiusRE= (1.1 ± 0.1) arcsec, but higher-resolution imaging is needed to accurately separate the deflector and faint quasar image. Analogous lens model degeneracies hold for the other six lenses (J0146-1133, J0150-4041, J0235-2433, J0245-0556, J0259-2338, and J0508-2748) shown in this paper.
