props to Memnarch for the Track Two banner

[Green-Shirt Q]

Wow. Great first comic. I can tell this is going to be good. :smallbiggrin:

[CrimsonAngel]

At first, I thought the blue cloak guy was Xarty.

[SinisterPenguin]

Hey, it's up. Awesome.

I'll be keeping my eye on this. :smallbiggrin:

[kpenguin]

I thought you weren't any good at backstories, Xart.:smalltongue:

[Shades of Gray]

I am far more interested on where the teal wizard's hands have gone to than anything about Xarty's history.

[X2]

Comic #002 (http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr33/Xartyve/20002.png) is up!

It's exposition-a-licious. :smallbiggrin:

[-skimmer-]

Hmm...that arcane apocalypse has even the same color as X2s magic. Coincidence or conspiracy?

I'll watch this:smallwink:

[Hacktor]

Dude I can't take it anymore... select the speech bubble (not the text just the round white thingy) and the Arrow that's pointing to the charactes, and with both selected press "Ctrl + NumPluss"

:D that is ... if you are using inskscape.
I'm reading this by the way :D. Nice work.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Dude I can't take it anymore... select the speech bubble (not the text just the round white thingy) and the Arrow that's pointing to the charactes, and with both selected press "Ctrl + NumPluss"

I don't understand what you just said on account of not using Inkscape, but I think the speech bubbles look just fine. :smallconfused:

[Hacktor]

sry... I thogut you were using Olde' inky. They look fine either way but whatever you are using must have the ability of "logical + add" in it (make one object out of two)

it was just a bit of ranting on my part.
I like the strips until now Xartyve2. Can't wait for more :smallbiggrin:.

[X2]

Thanks for the help anyway Hacktor!

[Mad Mask]

They should have named him "Xartyve II". Sounds more medieval-ish. :smalltongue:

[X2]

Comic #003 (http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/7867/20003.png) is now up!

It's character introduction-a-licious (okay I'll stop).

I used a different image hosting site this time so... we'll see how that goes.

[EmeraldPhoenix]

http://i878.photobucket.com/albums/ab341/Belkarisawsome/trophey.png

[Darklord Bright]

Watching this. Interested to see why Xart seems to be a target of concern, since he's a bit of a doofus so far. :smalltongue:

[X2]

New comic!

Comic #004 (http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr33/Xartyve/20004.png)!

Who is this mysterious interloper? What are her intentions? And why doesn't Xartyve2 have a bigger part? Find out the answer to (some of) this and more! Next time!


http://i878.photobucket.com/albums/ab341/Belkarisawsome/trophey.png

*sniff* I've dreamt of this day all my life and... and now I... oh god sorry *sobs*

[V'icternus]

...She dropped an Anvil on him!

I demand to be given her number! :smallbiggrin:

[Darklord Bright]

Should have dropped a bridge on him. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DroppedABridgeOnHim)

[X2]

Less than 3 hours after the Comic 004 update...

Comic #005 (http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr33/Xartyve/20005.png)!

And holy crap it's one where Xartyve2 is in most of the panels! Surely I jest right?:smalleek:

[Bayar]

Say, Xarty, you should make your banner smaller, it is kinda too tall...

[Silverraptor]

Alright, I'm interested in this one. Only thing is, it seems this character is in another comic. Any chance of letting me know which one?

[Green-Shirt Q]

This comic is intersting, and it seems like this is going to be quite unique. I like the comics so far and the spells cast in the comics are pretty cool.

[X2]

Alright, I'm interested in this one. Only thing is, it seems this character is in another comic. Any chance of letting me know which one?

Why... yes! (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6458948&postcount=1061)

[Silverraptor]

Why... yes! (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6458948&postcount=1061)

Another BIG comic. Nice!

[X2]

Update!

Comic #006 (http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr33/Xartyve/20006.png)!

[Omicroncubed]

Man, that guy in panel 6 is rather creepy :smalleek:

Good comic so far, I'll be reading this. :smallsmile: Happy now, Xart? >.>

[memnarch]

I'll watch this. Do you have a specific update day?

[X2]

I'll watch this. Do you have a specific update day?

I update at random, but try to do it daily. For example.

Comic #007 (http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr33/Xartyve/20007-1.png)

[Silverraptor]

Nice one! I'm definately reading this comic. Right next to all the others, and updating my own.

[X2]

Once again, because the image was too large (a whopping ten panels this time) I had to upload this one to Imageshack.

But here it is, 1 hour 40 minutes after the completion of Comic #007

Comic #008 (http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/7641/20008.png)

[X2]

No you're not going mad... I have updated this comic three times in one day. Am I just incredible or what?

Comic #009 (http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/7122/20009.png)

[Belkarsbadside1]

I like the interaction between the characters. This definitely reveals more oof their personalities, Keep it up. :smallsmile:

[Darklord Bright]

Because I said I would:
http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/4999/scan0006h.png
Didn't come out as good as I had hoped, but it's something.

[X2]

Comic #010 (http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr33/Xartyve/200010.png)

A short one I know, but I had homework tonight so... Bah!

[V'icternus]

So, the next comic will be action-packed and hard to draw? Awesome. Can't wait.

...But I guess I'll have to.

[X2]

Phew! This one was hard to draw...

Well here it is... The actioniest comic in 2000, not very funny, but action-y

Comic #011 (http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/1667/200011.png)

[Darklord Bright]

It amuses me that he shouts out his spells but Rose doesn't. :smalltongue:
For that extra flair!

[V'icternus]

Phew! This one was hard to draw...

Well here it is... The actioniest comic in 2000, not very funny, but action-y

Comic #011 (http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/1667/200011.png)

Nice bit of awesome. Thanks for that. :smallbiggrin:

[X2]

Here we go again!

Comic #012 (http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/2862/200012.png)

[Silverraptor]

Nice comics.:smallbiggrin: It's inspiring me to update mine again after I finish this annoying project of mine. Which should be sometime today.

[Fitzclowningham]

Very nice comic!

[The Gremlin]

Nice! I'll be watching this!

Hey thanks! Those types of comments really make my day

But an announcement is due, due to my co-writing ABR's Finest (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=128604) (which also stars our favourite red vest wearing Wizard) I may possibly not be able to update as often. Chances are you'll still get a minimum of 5 or 6 a week but I'm just giving you guys a heads-up!

[SinisterPenguin]

An action scene, awesome. Very well done. :smallbiggrin:

5 or 6 a week?!:smallmad: Are you kidding us?!:smallfurious:

It's still pretty damn frequent. Compared to OOTS atleast.:smallcool:

[Mauve Shirt]

This is a neat comic! I will add it to my list.

[X2]

Comic #013 (http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr33/Xartyve/200013.png) is finally out!

[V'icternus]

Awesome, he knows who's trying to kill him. Now he can go and whoop his butt. Hooray!

[X2]

Comic #014 (http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr33/Xartyve/200014.png) is up!

Enjoy! :smallbiggrin:

[EleventhHour]

I feel sorry for the poor Bounty Hunter guy... I hope he makes a comeback. :smallsmile:
(Silly hack-eyed plot devices!)

[V'icternus]

I'd feel more sorry for him if he lost the mask. It makes him seem more insane than he is.

[Silverraptor]

Well, that was an effective revenge tactic. Just do nothing.:smallamused:

[X2]

I'm not sure if any of the above comments are positive or negative! :smalleek:

[EleventhHour]

I'm not sure if any of the above comments are positive or negative! :smalleek:

Positive! !

[Silverraptor]

Positive! !

That goes double for me.

[V'icternus]

Positively positive over here.

[X2]

This one's kinda cheap so I thought I'd release it now instead of wasting another comic day on it.

Comic #015 (http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr33/Xartyve/200015-1.png)

[V'icternus]

El gasp!

The plot! She is twisting!

[Green-Shirt Q]

Right. I have finally caught up on this comic and was able to read some of the comics I couldn't before because of a *mother&^%$ing parental control system! (:smallfurious:) and I have to say that this comic is quite good.

Keep up the good work. :smallwink:

Seriously, Q, what is up with all this "mother&^%$ing parantal control" thing? Are your parants trying to keep you off of porn websites? Do they think you've been looking at pictures of naked women or writing nasty swears? Have you been?

[Green-Shirt Q]

Seriously, Q, what is up with all this "mother&^%$ing parantal control" thing? Are your parants trying to keep you off of porn websites? Do they think you've been looking at pictures of naked women or writing nasty swears? Have you been?

No. That is immoral. And it is illegal as I am not of age. Also I'm not the kind of guy who watches porn all the time. Yeah. >.>

It's because of the stupid thing on one of the computers at my house runs on a "EVERYTHING IS BAD UNLESS PASSWORD IS TYPED IN TO SAY OTHERWISE" type thing. Which is pretty annoying and pretty useless since my parents turn it off to look up stuff for themselves and forget to turn it back on. Not that I would take advantage of that or anything. >.>

I used to have a pretty good parental control on my second computer, which only disallowed truely bad sites. Unfortunetely that computer has passed away and was replaced by a state-of-the-art model that has a parental control that's not exactly bad, but it does randomly block some comics on this site. Which is kinda problematic since I write review fancomics. But not porn. That would be both wrong and creepy.>.>Alright fine I watch porn all the time, okay! I'm 15, for crissake!

[X2]

Comic #016 (http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/347/200016.png) is up...

Comic #018 (http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr33/Xartyve/200018.png) is up!

It's also character-introduction-a-licious

[Green-Shirt Q]

Nice comic. Walter McDuggan looks pretty scary, but then again so do all scarecrow people. And scarecrows. :smalleek::smalltongue:

Xartyve2 certainly seems a lot more heroic and helpful then I expected him to be. I guess that means he isn't a copy of my ABR character like I previously thought.

[Falgorn]

Alright fine I watch porn all the time, okay! I'm 15, for crissake!

Wait....
You're not an old man? Why have I been lied to, Q?

[Green-Shirt Q]

Wait....
You're not an old man? Why have I been lied to, Q?

Everybody has known this for...a while now. I made a huge announcement on the ABR discussion thread a while ago about how I lied my ass off about that and why I did it. Basically it was because I never really used the internet before and heard rumours that anybody you talked to on the internet would try to find and kidnap you if you were a kid, so I pretended I was an old man to make those guys uninterested. :smallwink:

Happy Days Falgorn: Secret pedo. :smalltongue:

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Anyway, great latest comic, Xart.

Looks like another crazy lunatic has shown up.

Competition. Isn't it terrible?:smallamused:

Cool comics, Xart.

Looks like they're on their way to do something, in order to get mo' moneyz. That works.
There, I commented. Can I go now?

Never! You are to stay here until he completes another one!:smallfurious:

Nice comic, but I didn't quite understand why there was a wound mark on his head in the last panel.

[T-O-E]

The uncensored comic flows more smoothly and seems more in character.

[Falgorn]

Nice comic, but I didn't quite understand why there was a wound mark on his head in the last panel.

I think that's representing his anger.

"I don't know! I'm drawing a blank!"

Priceless.:smallbiggrin:

Bad news!

[X2]

Special #001 (http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr33/Xartyve/2000s1-1.png)

But, in other news, good to see an update. Believe it or not I've been following this comic. :smalltongue:

Anyway, can't wait to see everyone done get blowed up.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Great comic. Totally agree with Xartyve2. :smallbiggrin:

Holy crap! You changed your name?! I wrote my comic review using your name! Now I'll have to go back and fix it and change all the "Xartyve2"s into "X2"s. :smallsigh:

Holy crap! You changed your name?! I wrote my comic review using your name! Now I'll have to go back and fix it and change all the "Xartyve2"s into "X2"s. :smallsigh:

Don't worry. I'm sure people won't be confused. :smallwink:

EDIT: The character is still Xartyve2

[Silverraptor]

Nice update!:smallbiggrin: And that was a great punch line.:smallamused:

[X2]

I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to all of my readers. You guys have been great, it really means a lot that you appreciate the comic and waited all those weeks to get it back on track. You guys win an internet.

[Hacktor]

Nice :smallsmile: i'll be reading this. It's preety well done. :smallbiggrin:

[Kumo]

This be awesome.

Late... I know but... Enjoy anyway.

[Hyoumu Yau]

Your character designs are just awesome, and the story is interesting too. It's great that you continued drawing it. :smallwink:

[Kumo]

Really amazing. Though at one point in the comic the name "codename: griffin" made the conversation confusing.

[X2]

Sorry about the lack of updates. It's just a combination of the post-christmas blues and an attempt to combat it with copious amounts of Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer.

That little +10 always makes me smile.

[Hacktor]

So X2? shall I tell them about The Thing or shall you? better yet.. this is your thread :smallbiggrin:

[X2]

The jist of it is that Hacktor and I will be exchanging guest comics from time to time.

Comic #026 (http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/7269/200026.png)

Sorry its so short. I just thought this was the best place to end it. But dont worry, work on 27 is already underway.

[Hacktor]

heh... nice.

I never really got what kind of universe this was in... They have wizards and High caliber sniper rifles (witch miss on the first Shot) :smallsmile:

[X2]

It's er... confusing. There exists the technology of today, it is just rare and uber expensive and inneficiant compared to magic, so most of the world is at the amish level.

[Realms of Chaos]

I can`t wait for the arcana-raging to start, or to learn a bit more about codename: griffon`s split personality (unless that belongs in a different canon).

[X2]

I ditched the latter a while ago, the former still applies though :smallwink:

[Hacktor]

Nice setting... :smallsmile:

[X2]

Didn't quite work out as I planned but I lost the script and had to make it on the fly at 2 AM.

Comic #027 (http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/390/200027.png)

[Hyoumu Yau]

Great comic! I especially liked how you made the forth panel :smallwink:
I am of the opinion that you should change textbox color of the yellow...bird...guy, because it was a little bit hard to read it. You could either change the colors or try to make the text or background darker or brighter :smallwink:

He's right. It's hard to read especially with a low-brightness low-contrast settings I use for example.

In the 4'th panel, try using different levels of transparency not just 1 level over it's self...

This is just nitpicking of course... nice comic :smallbiggrin:

[X2]

Yeah I know... I'll make it normal white and black text starting next comic.

Sorry ya'll...

[Hacktor]

Don't be that rash ... You just have to make the background darker\text whiter - or the other way arround. :smallbiggrin:

[X2]

Nah, I dont know why this guy gets fancy speech bubbles whereas Varth, or even Olokk get stuck with the standard.

[Kumo]

Nah, I dont know why this guy gets fancy speech bubbles whereas Varth, or even Olokk get stuck with the standard.

i figured it was cuz he had a weird voice

Ya know. Beak.

[Hacktor]

Or muffled armor noise or somehting...

[Kumo]

Or maybe throat cancer?

[X2]

I'll be doing a mail-bag episode soon which the characters will answer. So, ask Rose, Xartyve2 or Walter a question!

PM it to me and we might put it in to the comic.

[X2]

Anyhoo!

Comic #028 (http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/8663/200028.png)

So we finally get his name! :smallbiggrin:

[V'icternus]

Ah, how awesome!

Very exciting.

[Hacktor]

questions for Walter:
what race are you?

[Hyoumu Yau]

Great comic! :smallwink: Only now I noticed how interesting you made Alexander's armor.

P.S. I love that grinning mask :smallbiggrin: For some reason it reminds me of Darker than Black...

[Silverraptor]

Question to both Xartyve and Rose:
Is there anything going on between you two?:smallamused: *Wink**Wink*

[Hacktor]

@#28.. building a relationship at gunpoint eh? :smallwink:

[X2]

Comic #029 (http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/9056/200029.png)

Comic #030 (http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/4452/200030x.png)

[Hacktor]

Heh... 30 made me chuckle. :smallsmile:

I just noticed something about Alex (sorry.. Alexander:smallamused:). he changes the position of his sword when he turns arround... that's why i generally try to make them all mirrored... All in all nice work .. keep going.

[Kumo]

Nice! Two in one day =3

[Hyoumu Yau]

Wow, I actually missed an update!:smalleek: SHAME ON ME!!!:smallfurious:
(Oh, you posted them with a 2-hour difference. No wonder I did not notice it before:smallsigh:)
"Prepare for disappointment" :biggrin: :

What I did not like was the way you drew Alexander's hand in the last panel of #30. The curve of the hand that holds the sword should be rising in a different manner. I believe you should reflect it, using a line between the beginning- and endpoint as the axis. :wink:

[X2]

Alright! Having chosen the questions I'm going to use in my first mail-bag the questions asking thing is now closed...

...for Xartyve2, Rose and Walter.

But now I'm looking for questions for Cheshire and Alexander for Mail-Bag #2.

[Kumo]

Alright! Having chosen the questions I'm going to use in my first mail-bag the questions asking thing is now closed...

Cheshire: Why do you wear that mask and what is it supposed to look like?

Alexander: What race are you?

[Hacktor]

Alexander: What race are you?

I always thought he was human... just wears a weird armor helm...

My Questions...

Cheshire: I know that Chesire is and i quote "Cheshire is an English county famous for its cheese, salt mining and silk." the cheshire cat was named after this country (says Wiki). I'm assuming there's no England in this World, just like there's no Japan in Oots :smallwink:. So where does your name come from.

Alexander: Have any last name?

[Kumo]

I think i just figured out where the mask came from.

EDIT: It really shouldn't have taken that long, should it?

[Hyoumu Yau]

Alexander : Do you eat whatever birds do eat?

[Green-Shirt Q]

Cheshire: Do you, in any way, HAVE FURY!?

[CrimsonAngel]

Cheshire: Will you marry me?

[Hacktor]

Cheshire: Will you marry him? ^

[X2]

Gents (...and ladies(?)) MadMask has something very important to announce. Take it away pal!

[Grim ranger]

Cheshire: How does it feel to be humiliated by Xartyve?

Alexander: Where did you get your guns?

[Mad Mask]

There's going to be a spin-off of Xartyve2000.

Called Patriot, it will be set in the same setting. This story will explore Vatar from a different perspective: that of a nation under attack by a fearsome foe, one you have already seen. This collaboration between X2 and me will bring you new insight on this world.

I'll be responsible for the art and most of the script, while X2 will be the executive producer.

Hello, just stating that I generally enjoy this comic. Keep up the good work (!)

Also noting that without The Q's Comic Review I would have never looked at this comic-- I found its title to be very off-putting and actively avoided opening it for months. Then I read Q's review and decided to give it a chance.

Mine are as follows...

Rose: "Before i serve your ass up with fries i just want you to know Goldilocks here in no way represents me or my gender."

Walter: "This place has about as many magical properties as a bar of economy soap."

Cheshire: "Prepare for disappointment."

Mean? My only criticism is of the title, which is, in my opinion, not a very good title.

Man, it's been over a month. When are you going to make a new comic, Xartey?

[X2]

Alright after a series of tense negotiations I have found someone who is able to do the art for me. I dropped out of the art business long ago y'see which is why an update has been scarce. So yeah, SinisterPenguin will be making the art for this now. Happy pappy?

[Silverraptor]

Why'd you give up art?

[X2]

It was becoming a chore, not to mention my lack of skills in the area were beggining to hamper my storytelling abilities. The last comic with Tutti Frutti is where I said "Right, bugger this. If this is going to continue I have to find someone else"

Strip #35 was very funny.
That said I don't really understand what's the vilager's points in strip #36. I mean they pay to get the job done, it's not like they conned the team into doing job out of charity, so what's so funny about that ?

I suspect that the paladin lied, it sorta-sounded like the usual "That's what they say behind your back, really!" lie.

It's mostly symbolic, It' HIS revenge and he ain't going to let anyone a chance to even remotly spoil it.
(And he may very well have condemned the last remaining sorcerers to extintion in the process without a second thought, but hey, who cares.)


Then again, they might just be jerks who think it's funny and that the gidders will do anything for money.

So even if it was true what would be point ? Azs long as you get the money, work done or not, you're the one laughing, no ?
