GAH! Where’s my legs!
Thank you all who’ve emailed me and posted about the ads.
I like to make some decisions by committee. I like to know your thoughts. So thank you.
So….
Back to the story. Hopefully no one saw this coming…ha ha.
Stay tuned…things get really fun underwater.
I, like others, have no problem with the ads! If it’s what you gotta do, go for it!
Also, kindda wasn’t expecting Alex to get turned into a total Merman! Actually, if anything I was just expecting him to just be like Kevin Costner in Water World, with gills behind his ears and maybe webbed hands & feet. This is neat, though, and I can’t wait to see the others!
Curious, what’s Kiwi doing during this? Hope she’s somewhere safe 838
Proof that ALex isn’t a Munchkin?
He didn’t say “AGH! Where’s the other half of my MAGICAL ARMOR!”
Also, does this mean we’re about to see a Cat-fish?
Why is it that “GAH!” is such an appropriate exclamation in almost any situation? I even use it in real life!
And I noticed that your merwoman is proportioned almost like some of the gals from Wapsi Square. 😉
Kudos on keeping this one under wraps Scott! I Totally did NOT see that coming! Great surprise!
GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😯
That would shock the bejeebers out of me too! I’d be all … “Put … my … legs … BACK!”
Definitely caught me off guard too. However, it seems as if his lower body “fin section” goes up beyond the traditional mid-riff of the mermaids / mermen. It’s a bit strange to look at since it goes up into his armor. No matter, still a very interesting story line.
Woah, that’s kinda creepy…I’d be flipping out too!
The ads are not a problem with me. I like how this is totally free, since I can’t afford to be buying the books, and as long as there’s no pop-ups to clutter it up. Keep up the good work, Mr. Sava!
Gah! Where’s the rest of her stomach?? And, like, all the other organs down there?
Hey Scott,
Ads are fine with me.. and I’m with Jacii.. If there is a way to make money off people clicking on the adds.. I’m pretty darn sure all of your readers would be willing to click :). And Alex as a merman? Can that get any more perfect? Just think laura, one more hotty merman for us to stare at for some more frames :P.
Thanks Scott for being so considerate and compassionate about what you do and your readers.. There aren’t much out there like you so keep it up!
Oh.. and I don’t think nastajia will be too happy if she turns into a mermaid.. I mean.. an elven mermaid.. that’s just silly
oh.. and also… Naroga is right too… either the bottom half is too long or its going up too high.. makes alex looks unproportional.. But looks can be deceiving.. right?
Grammatically speaking, it would be “where’re” (Where are) my legs–but that just sounds weird and nobody really cares anyway.
ANYWAAAYYY, you did a GREAT (and I mean GREAT) job of keeping this secret—Did NOT expect this at all! O_O I love all these twists and turns 🙂 Alex looks so cute as a fiii–merman 😛 I wonder how Paddington would look? *smiles at thought*
Hah! I most definitely did NOT see that coming! 😀
First thing I noticed… “Where’s”. It took me a few seconds to realize, “Oh, he’s a merman!” That grammar thing might just be the way Alex talks, so it’s his fault. Now, it it was misspelled completely, we cannot blame that on Alex.
She’s a mermaid. Maybe her ribs are actually made of cartilage. Plus, she is probably lacking a few certain organs because fish reproduce differently than most mammals. So, she’s allowed to be ridiculously skinny.
Nope, didn’t expect him to turn into a half-fish.
That stripy guy in the vote incentives looks like he’s a cross between a tiger and a clownfish.
Not only that… Where’s half his armor?
Heh.
Well, on the missing armor issue, remember that the elven armor would adjust itself to fit the wearer. I’m assuming that it changed to accomodate his Alex’s new form.
“Okay, y’know what? Forget the legs, where’s what’s between the legs?”
Uh-oh… Panel 2: “breathe”, not “breath”.
Haha, he’s still in shock.
I have only one thing to say:
ANOREXIAMERMAID.
I love two things today: Alex’s face in panel 1 and the backflip that the mermaid does in the other frames. She just looks so comfortable in the water; you did an excellent job of positioning her body in the water.
Thanks for the notes on the “breathe” mispelling. That’s why I went to ART school. I can’t spell…ha ha.
I keep missing things with the spell checker too. I guess Breath is spelled right even though Breathe is the correct spelling in that sentence…sigh.
Thank you again.
Also thanks for the kind words on the pages. Glad you’re enjoying them.
As far as the mermaid goes, there’s room there below the abdomen for the rest of her organs, so they may be distributed in her tail. And I like the way she manuvers, the motion is natural.
At least he won’t worry about nitrogen and decompression effects anymore. I don’t know about the texture maps with the lighting, but I suspect Alex has a dolphin tail. Funny, I always placed him as Orca.
Let’s see…Maybe Paddington as a rockfish? Felicity as a catfish (good idea, Bounty), Kiwi as a flying fish, Nastajia as…well, another dolphin mermaid, I can’t make a pun with that…
Mermaid: “Don’t worry about your legs, just submit your claim ticket at the check counter…”
Definantly like the blue of the water. So believable. Poor Alex, that would be a shock. Dream or no dreamlike adventure. And I can’t believe it’s Friday already….drat.
Oddly enough i think they are a) A good idea if they are going to help you, and b) Not a problem at all.
I mean being HONEST here, i actually didnt even REALISE that the ‘project wonderful’ and ‘blue dream studio’ add’s were there Until i read this post…
I mean, i think that as long as they arnt overly obvious on the page our minds just sort of ignore them.. being the internet and all. Same deal with tv comercials, everyone just tunes out while their on.
That being said, with them being in the side bar or whatever they are located in spots where nobody is going to have ANY problem with them, and if they keep Dreamland Running then by all means PLEASE keep them in!
….I expected it, why else were there like 1..2.3.4.5.6.7…8? panels before we were shown his tail?
the only thing I wasn’t expecting was an anorexic looking (by human standards) mermaid.
oh and YAY no Nastajia!!!! YAY!!!
Just making sure… Is it where’s because that’s the way Alex talks, or was it a typo? (Where’re to be “where are my legs?” rather than where’s, which is “where is my legs?”)
American slang, kiddies. Improper grammar, but reflective of normal every-day conversation.
I can’t wait to see Paddington and Kiwi. Oh my gosh, this is going to be amazing!
Also, how did Nastajia KNOW that the water would be safe? Has she been here before as some kind of royal diplomatic duty?
wow looks like I missed a bit while I was waiting on a disc from HP. Go Go Go laptop companies not including windows discs with your purchase.
Now I am reformatted *cry* but at least I remembered a few of my fav website. Prolly helps TDC is numero uno.
All caught up and ready to continue on.
wow, i hate cliff hangers that last over the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So that’s the case? Quite a reaiovteln that is.
By the way, there are, on average, about 100 or so wars and / or skirmishes going on at any given time on this planet. Some just make prime time. Not all of them involve bullets and bombs. At least, not at this time.
We are so happy for y’all. Why am I not in the least surprised that God has a little gal for you that fits in perfectly with your family, right down to her musical talents?Much Love,Jackie
Such an impressive answer! You’ve beaten us all with that!
