*****Updates Early Monday/late Sunday (I hope!) ******

Now most comics will be listed as direct links to allow faster loading.

Ones with longer comments will still be behind the 'Spoiler' tags.

Click the Yellow 'Resize' bar above each comic to see it full size

I decided that I'd give a shot at doing a GW2 web-comic. I can hardly match some of the excellent examples of fan artwork seen here in the Library so don't expect much. But I've been having fun coming up with characters and ideas.

It's meant to be a comedy so please excuse any fourth-wall breakages or lore deviations that are taken in favor of a cheap laugh

The Cast

Theodore 'Theo' Thackery - A young man who just moved to Lion's Arch. He has a family name that makes many jump to incorrect conclusions. He's somewhat naive when it comes to non-human races. He'll have much to learn in order to adjust to his new home.

His profession has not yet been revealed.

Elisa 'Ellie' Thackery - Theo's sister. An elementalist who has been living in Lion's Arch for some time and thus she is more cosmopolitan than her brother. Like many siblings, they may argue and fight but they really do care for each other.

Almme (Alm-may) Bloodfeaster - A female charr ranger who has moved to Lion's Arch for her own reasons. Theo does not realize her gender at first.

Eddard, born of the Cycle of Night - A sylvari eager to add the experience of being a roommate to his race's shared knowledge.

Mawfang Bloodclaw - A human-hating charr and Almme's rather protective, future life-mate.

Toll - An asura who seldom leaves his room because his research has made a sinister discovery.

Hilda - A norn. Norn have no need for intros.

It should be mentioned that she has more than caught Theo's attention.

Stingy - Almme's pet devourer. Deeply loyal to his mistress and always looking for entertaining things to do.

S.M.A.R.T.I.E. - A golem created by Toll called the Synthetic Mental Autonomous Reaction Talisman Intelligence Experiment. (Has a voice rather like GLaDOS from Portal).

Gurggle - The boarding house's hylek handyman/manager.

I have an page on Deviant Art with some additional stuff but it's mostly the comics that are here on GW2Guru. Still feel free to visit and leave a comment there!

I don't know how regularly I'll be able to do these comics but I'll post them as soon as I complete them.
Please post any feedback if you like it. And ignore them if you don't

Many thanks to Konig Des Todes for copying my original post so I put the comics all on the first page!

General Info

Spoiler

Edit 9/27/10 - Whoops, haven't tried posting images on the forum before. Let's try try *img* instead of attaching the file. Sorry, one more thing to add to the learning curve.
Edit 10/18/10 Hey, finally figured out how to remove that attachment, all the comics will be direct links now.
Edit 02/15/12 - Links changed to to my Deviant Art page since the original Imageshack ones are dropping.

Sept 27th 2010


(Typo edited thanks Tearsdale! I can't seem to remove the original attached file with the typo - oh well)

Konig Des Todes also suggested the comic images should be put behind spoiler tags so the first page will load quicker. I'll do that but leave the very first one and the newest one each week out.

Double comic again! The asura gets introduced.

There won't be a comic next week because I'll be going out of town for the holidays.

Maybe next year I'll plan it better and actually have a seasonal holiday pic Well, there is still a chance with New Year's coming up.

Almost forgot, the comic reference does require familiarity with this cool feature ArenaNet revealed a while back:

I know I warned the comic might be late because my new motherboard died, but One ancient, out-dated PC + One harddrive + One USB/SATA adapter = One technically on time comic!

http://invincibleove...ic-24-206295256

One other note - With my main, art-making PC getting repaired this week and my in-laws coming to visit this weekend, it is very likely next week (Mar 28th) will skip a comic update. Really this time. Just wanted to warn everyone. I appreciate all the folks reading and enjoying the comic.

Obvious comic is obvious. To make up for the obviousness, it's a bit early and there's an extra one-frame I had to do after ArenaNet's April Fool's day joke. (It's behind the spoiler because a single frame displays somewhat oversized)

Also thanks to draxynnic for the idea of Mawfang 's Tyrian-centric view the Interwebs.

Thanks to Baktwerel for the posting the idea that inspired the last frame. http://www.guildwars...6&postcount=191.

And I know that' s a different door than what Theo used back in #1. It's a big house. There's more than one entrance. Lion's Arch must have confusing architecture, they make dwellings out of wrecked boats for pete's sake.

Also I should warn everyone reading that it looks like the comic will go on a hiatus of a week (or possibly two) because of the Ambassador Video Contest announced by ArenaNet. http://www.guildwars.../video-contest/ I have a silly idea I really want to try to make.

May 9th, 2011

Spoiler

It looks like this week's comic will be delayed while I work on ArenaNet's 'Become a Guild Wars 2 Ambassador' video contest. Here are some images that will be used in the video. You might recognize the players

Work on this week's comic has gotten supplanted by the stuff I was doing on my contest entry. Apologies to everyone. I guess the video will probably be the update for this week:

May 16th, 2011

Spoiler

We'll return to our regularly scheduled plotline next week. I just wanted to get the last bits of inspiration from the video contest out. (That was a great community event ArenaNet!)

Originally I only meant to post the first comic (anyone else notice all the stretching NPCs do?) The second one came to mind so I thought I'd quickly drum it out. It helps keep Theo's character consistent.

For this comic, I though I'd include a link to a larger image version. I rather think my art is better if one doesn't see it in that much detail But what the heck, let me know which format is best and I'll go with the popular opinion.

Some cats actually do eat cheesecake. It's not good for them but then neither is whiskey I figured if that didn't stop the charr from drinking, why not indulging in some desert too?

Edit - It looks like I have to work this weekend, everyone, so next week's comic will be delayed.

Apologies!

Big group shot to make up for the skip last week
ArenaNet's lore is filled with so many amusing possibilities, particularly how the norn regard sylvari.
(And no, Theo and Ellie haven't turned into questgivers)

Jun 27th 2011

Spoiler

I realized this is the first strip that actually shows Ellie and Almme exchanging words. They would previously have done so, it just wasn't shown.

I have another business trip this week, I'll let everyone know if it looks like it might interfere with next week's update.

Aug 1st, 2011

Spoiler

As I mentioned, I'm not sure if norn can even change into wolves in GW2 so I'm just going with the idea that it's a unique ability, which comes with other unique traits. It's magic, yeah that's it!

Spoiler

Finished this part of the story just in time for sylvari week!

I'm pretty sure there are no werewolves in Tyria. I just thought it would be funny that even in a world filled with dragons and ghosts, people would still have stories about scary, mythical creatures that go bump in the night

I thought it would be particularly amusing for a race of shape-shifters to worry about the curse of lycanthropy. Losing the ability to control their shape-shifting might seem like a scary story to them.

With Sylvari Week in full swing, I'm interested in what DE readers think of the ideas for Eddard's new look!

Spoiler

First, could I please request that people look back at #39 (Aug 8th) and let me know if you cannot see the comic anymore. I switched the link from Imageshack to my Deviant Art page and I'd like to know if I can use that or if I need to keep uploading the comics to both. Thanks!

Now, back to the fun stuff. Sylvari week is over and Dynamic Events will never be the same!

I'd like to once more say thanks to Ree and Kristen and everyone at ArenaNet for such an AMAZING job with their race update. There were so much cool information, I've never been more interested in playing and learning more about the sylvari. All the details in the blogs really helped enormously when I went about giving Eddard an updated look.

The other result of the new race design is that I get to pull out the comic ideas I've had stashed away ever since we first heard about the plans for the re-design. Unfortunately I also get to move out of my apartment this month, but I'll try to get the comics out on schedule. Enjoy!

http://invincibleove...set=48#/d47f74h

Aug 22nd, 2011

Spoiler

I realized that apart from the New Year's pic, this is the first time all the roommates have shown up together in the comic. It seems appropriate Eddard's re-design would be the reason for it.

I'm moving to a new apartment so there will be no comic update next weekend. My apologies to everyone! I hope I can get settled in my new place quickly enough that I won't miss two weeks in a row /crosses fingers. There's still more fun to be had with Eddard's new look

Wow, has it really been a year of doing this comic? How time flies!

Thank you to all the regular readers of the comic and everyone who has posted kind comments regarding it! The reaction Dynamic Events has gotten has made me very glad that I decided to start it a year ago. You folks are the reason I've been able to keep doing it for this long.

There is a one-year anniversary surprise in the works, but in the meantime here is this week's comic.

Special Anniversary Update!

I asked a couple of fellow, Guru forum artists who previously had done Dynamic Event pics if they might donate their time to do something to celebrate the comic having run for one year. I couldn't be happier with the results

Many thanks to CM Regina Buenaobra for asking Kristen Perry if norn were-forms follow the charr 'Six or none' rule. ArenaNet is so awesome to provide an answer for something like this fan-made web-comic.

Long one this time, sorry for the loading lag

I'm trying to decide whether to do Dynamic Events next week or wok on an entry for the GW1 Wintersday contest. I'll post whichever one I end up doing.

Dec 12th 2011

Spoiler

No comic this week, sorry everyone. Instead I thought I'd show the early draft of what would have been my entry into the Guild Wars Wintersday contest.

I've posted it over on the GWGuru Wintersday Workshop which seems to have become the contest for this year. http://www.guildwars...-t10497641.html
Not that I expect to win anything looking at the past examples of entries, I just needed to take a break and do a single, detailed picture for a change (no text balloons either!)

Progress Gallery:http://imageshack.us...tch01drove.jpg/

I'm going out of town this week for a conference and then flying out to see family for the holidays which means I'll probably have to end up working on this right up to the Jan 1st deadline. And that will cut out any work on the next comic.

My sincere apologies to all the Dynamic Event readers. After the holidays I should be able to get back on schedule. I'm looking forward to the New Year and continuing the story of Dynamic Events!

Edit - Jan 1st, 2012. Final colored version done!

This installment includes a little experiment I wanted to try. If it works this format could help me progress the story at slightly faster rate than the current snail's pace.

You'll need to click on it to expand it enough to read.

A Prelude to #54

Edit - It looks like my effort at formatting should have been more, shall we say horizontal. My apologies to everyone for needing to scroll down so much. You have to love experiments!

Please let me know what you think of the format. It won't be used regularly but it could help with some of the story elements I like to try in the comic.

Meanwhile, here is the regular comic. Last year I did a New Years party, I thought I do the morning after this year

Really long one this time! (Maybe it should have been done in the text format)

I'm making some guesses in the lore regarding the policing of Lion's Arch. I have no idea if that's how it actually is, of course.

Also it looks like another business trip to New York this week so the next comic might get delayed. Just wanted to let everyone know.

http://www.deviantar...ord-d4nc22i.jpg

Jan 30, 2012

Spoiler

It turns out my business trip last week was cancelled so I could work on the comic after all and I thought I’d try another experiment.

ArenaNet's recent announcement really drove home the fact that we have less than a year until we will be able to play the GW2! (Woohoo!)

This also made me face the fact that the game will likely be a serious drain on my time If I want to keep doing the comic I realized I needed to do something different.

So I thought I would try to doing it in B&W since I believe that will move the story along at a better pace and allow me to do the comics after GW2’s release. This week’s comics would have taken me three weeks to finish the old way and instead you get them in just one. I still plan to do occasional color comics as specials too.

If you want more details, I’ll be discussing it in this thread. Please let me know what you think. You readers are why I’ve kept doing these Dynamic Events comics for this long.

Update - Apologies to everyone, it looks like the next comics might be delayed as I work out some PC issues and upgrade to Windows 7. I hope that thing is better than Vista

February 27th, 2012

Last week inspired me to do this comic (That and listening to all the press beta info)

The B&W format is nice since at least I can get out something in spite of the Windows 7 upgrade that ate up my time.

I'm going to try something different again. I'd like see how it works to spread out posting the comics rather than all on Monday. I'm thinking of posting another one by Friday, I'll see how it works.

I should warn everyone there's a good chance there won't be a comic next week. Three words. Beta. Weekend. Event.

I would like to be able to balance playing GW2 and keep doing the Dynamic Events comic, but this is the first open beta so I have to spend an absurd amount of time in it! Hope to see you in there!

UPDATE - I can't seem to edit the main comic post unless I go through and remove all my emoticons which would take a while. Kvinna is kindly looking into it.

In the meantime, I wanted to share this screenshot with everyone. I had to put it in this post because I can still edit this one.

Many thanks to Konig Des Todes for finding this NPC in the beta this weekend and letting me know!

May 7th, 2012

Spoiler

Bleah, finally got the comic posts back in order. What a pain. I'm really not liking the new forum editor, it's not friendly to posting images.

It seems that there possibly may be variable appearances for NPCs on different servers (or it's just a beta bug).
http://www.guildwars...60#entry1409660

The version of Phil I encountered looked rather like Theo only with a rather smarmy mustache so I just had to go with that. And I discovered moas are really fun to draw!

May 14th, 2012
The roommates go out for some spring activities. I'll be honest, the last couple of comics have been giving me time to try to work out how to do the next part of the story that I'd like to do and I think I finally have a plan. Things can move on now I hope.

Naturally, next week the comic might be skipped because I have a business trip. Oh and there's that GW2 stress test on Monday, I'll be playing Mawfang again. (And maybe I've been getting distracted trying to get a few more HoM points)

Also there's now an emoticon limit on posts so I can never post them again here /sadface. People were probably getting tired of them anyway.

lol charr roommate!

I like this webcomic.

[Eanny]

good start. I want more ;)

[Jonny10]

Hahaha, that was clever. The drawings are very qualitative as well.

ps: that guy is a mesmer!

[Tearsdale]

Nice start, looking forward to more! :)

EDIT: You might want to fix the double "did" in the ele's speech bubble though. ;)

[TriggerSad]

Nice bro, that was pretty funny, I hope that we'll be able to see more of your comic soon. :)

[Arthedain]

One strip and I already like it, keep up the good work :)

[grey_foxx082]

nice work! I want to see more!

[muisje33]

more more more :D
it looks fun :D

[Doctor Overlord]

Thank you everyone for the kind words! I'm really glad people are enjoying it. That's the best motivation to do more.

I'd like to get these done on something resembling a schedule, but I've never tried that before so I'll have to see what I need to do to make that work.

Argh! Thanks for that. I showed it to a friend before posting and he missed that too. I'll go back and re-do that.

Heh, honestly his outfit was just based on the Fashion in Guild Wars 2 blog from a while back. Since we only know half the classes, aspects of some of the characters are going to have to be a bit nebulous for now :o
(Nice forum avatar BTW!)

That is the plan :)

It looks like I might be able to manage updates once a week. I'll shoot for Mondays. We'll see how it works out, but I'm hopeful right now ;) Again thanks for all the comments everyone!

[Frizz]

What a crap (good) comic, it leaves you wanting more, and you get addicted to it by the first strip. And what's more you have to wait a week for the next! ZOMG!

You better update fast or else. :p

[Doctor Overlord]

Threats to continue. I take that as a good sign lol

In honor of the ArenaNet double blog post this week, this will be a double comic post! Actually I planned on posting these two comics anyway to introduce the Charr character Almme so it's just a coincidence, I don't know if I'll be compelled everytime ArenaNet does a double blog.

I'm still experimenting with the format and please excuse the messy borders, I'm working that out. If anyone was wondering, Elisa's waiting outside while Theo makes his introductions. Enjoy!

Argh. Sorry about that. Fixed. Typos seem to be my bane.

[Trusty]

This webcomic is awesome!! :D Coming back to check for new ones every time.

[Darcy]

This looks great, Overlord. Keep the strips coming.

[Kysio]

One question. Charr is male or female? Because when it's (I will use "it" till you explain if it's male or female :P) showed from front it looks like female to me, and from side looks more of a male to me. Might be just me but I`m wondering.

[Tearsdale]

Love it, awesome! :)

[Tommy's]

Fun times, has been some wait, but it was worth waiting for ^^ Can't wait to see more.

[Doctor Overlord]

Thanks for kind comments everyone! I really appreciate people taking the time to post them.

Heh, I'm glad you noticed that. I was actually trying for a little bit of ambiguity with my attempt at the Charr design but I didn't know how it came across. Given the fact I'm going off what screenshots and concept art I've seen, I'm just glad the character can be recognized as a Charr at all lol

Almme (Alm-may) is female, but your perplexity will be shared by one of the characters in the comic ;) I've always thought that Charr gender could be something for potential fun and you'll be seeing some of that.
