#412 – Some intervention with the fairies

Oh, good. Comicpress Manager created a new update which works with WP 2.8 and (insert other stuff you really don’t care about here but allows me to upload Lint correctly).

It’s all in color, I don’t really know why. I just felt like coloring everything.

Oh no, it’s that time of year again when I have to renew my hosting! Look for me to wax NPR here in a few days. I’d also love to raise enough to get my good tablet repaired.

Also: I’m loving getting to draw Xylic again. Man, I have missed him.

PS: Does anyone actually use those tag buttons near the top of the right sidebar, or are they okay to remove? I’ve never used them on any comic myself, and don’t necessarily want them there, but if they’re really useful I’ll leave them.

    I heart Xylic too. Can I have him o.o *Throws a sack over Xylic's head and throws him over her sholder* mwahahahhahahahahhahha *flees*

  • Zypher

    I used the tag when I was first reading through the comic… It's really helpful when you are trying to read through a long archive and can't remember what page you were on.

    Anyway, loving to see Xylic again. Maybe in part because he's about the only Elf, or part elf I've read/seen who utterly rocks a goatee.

    awwww Hope and Xylic are so adorable
    *squeals like a fangirl*
    i crush Xylic. :D

    Okay I'll keep it, then.

  • Barrett

    I think James just might be my favorite character. :D

  • Zylic

    At least he's finally learned to hold his bow right.

  • http://purnicellin.com/lint colbycheese

    Thanks to you, mah dear.

    Oh yes, keep the tag/bookmark function (y'know I wish someone would redesign this to actually look like a bookmark because inexperienced webcomic readers probably aren't going to realise what they are for. I run my comic on comicpress too. Actually the latest wordpress updare broke my control panel for a bit, so I know what you're talking about up there).

    Now, the comic itself: YAY! Xylic! He is my favorate character and it's great to see him leaping to the rescue. The full colour looks beautiful.

    Tag buttons? Aw, I wish I'd known about those!

    Heh, and thye storyswitches to something a bit lighter. (I think it's all the pink >.>)

  • RissRiss

    Wooo! posing Xylic!! :D He looks really goood… :3 Awesome coloring, as usual. <3 YAY COLORS!!!

  • Rui

    i've missed your sexy, sexy face Xylic <3

  • me me me~

    has his hair always that long? o.O I know he had a pony tail but wow…

  • Kelsey57

    Aw, Xylic is adorable in that panel! Love it. Also nice to see full color of the fairies. So James can turn into… any bird he wants? XD

  • The Beekeeper

    Indeed!

  • Jess

    *SIGH* I'm so glad Xylic is back … I didn't realize how much I had missed him! Is it me, or has his hair gotten a leetle longer? Anyway … he's wonderful. :-)

    He… Isn't wearing a bracer!
    Thus, the bent elbow.

    On the other hand… His bow looks unstrung (too straight). And there is a lack of bowstring.

    I hope Hope… Runs-off after Goose-boy (James?), and has to get rescued again :)

  • Zypher

    Goatee or tags?

    I totally think both should stay… though a note around the tags would make it easier to figure out what they were. Luckily I learned that on another comic before I read yours. Don't remember what comic, but I did…

    And the goatee is awesome. Rarely do I see a good character with one like Xylic's, and I personally love how he looks. I'm tempted to give a character of mine a goatee just because of Xylic's… though this character will have facial hair anyway… Anyway, just gushing about how utterly awesome this comic is again. I need to stop commenting at midnight.

    I have never shot or even held a bow in my life. Thanks for picking it apart, though. That's really great.

  • http://purnicellin.com/lint colbycheese

    Tags!

    Xylic could never lose the goatee, he'd just cease to be Xylic!

  • Jen

    yay colors! now we're spoiled again! ^_^ What IS James? Will we find out?

    I love Lint!!

  • amanda

    eeek! all in color and xylic is back!!!!! *falls over*

  • Zypher

    Hense the midnight comment. XD And I utterly agree.

  • Zylic

    Actually, the perspective distorts the curve making it appear more straight than it actually is. The bowstring isn't shown because of the angle(head on, bowstring behind the bow) in panel 5, and in panel 5, you're just at too great a distance to see the bowstring.

    I can understand not wearing a brace. The things are damnable uncomfortable.

    It's not a mistake – It's obviously a magic bow!

  • http://epicfail.xepher.net amuletts

    His hair has been getting longer over the course of the comic. I think he wants to be like Sangwine. Bless.

  • spas

    yeah, but i feel his hair grew quite a bit since his last scene. still…i am so squealing over hope and xylic – yay! i know hope needs to rush to everyone's rescue, but i wish hope would steal a kiss before they go!

  • Me

    I love seeing Xylic back! He's a great character in this comic.

  • A Reader

    Yes, that is all I am going to say on this momentous occasion.
