The Dreamland Chronicles ANIMATED Issue 2!
Hey all!
So here’s the latest installment of the ANIMATED Wowio issues of The Dreamland Chronicles.
For those new to this…I’ve been putting up issues of the Dreamland Chronicles on Wowio.
Wowio is a place that lets you download my comic books for FREE.
But each download helps support Dreamland because the advertisements in the books earn us money.
So your free downloads is another way to support us (aside from coming here every day and also buying the books at our store).
🙂
Anyways…
I’ve been exprimenting with taking frames of the books and animating them in some ways.
Sometimes a flythrough, sometimes a turnaround, sometimes bringing characters to life.
This issue we get to explore the tomb, see Nicodemus, and meet Nicole and Dan for the first time.
I’ll hopefully work out a good system and get better at these animated books as we progress. But I hope you are enjoying them so far.
As before…I’m showing a couple pages for those of you who can not download the whole books yet. (it’s only for US residents currently)
The first is from the Tomb of the Ancient Kings. See what Alexander sees as he walks to the dias with the sword…

The second is from where Alexander sees the necklace for the first time in 8 years.

Find a frame and click it to see it come to life.
For those of you who can download the whole book (and want to see more)…
Go here and enjoy.
I have about 60 books up on Wowio now.
So if you enjoy Dreamland. And want to support it.
If you enjoy daily updates and a fun All Ages story…please download ALL of the books by Blue Dream Studios and tell your friends too.
Thanks
Scott
Those animated panels look great! You’re getting really good at these. It seriously looks like clips from some animated Dreamland movie or something…dude! that’s a great idea–oh, I greatly doubt you’d have the time for that.
Anyway, I also wanted you to know that I really like today’s last panel. We don’t see Nastajia smiling enough.
As I use linux (Ubuntu) I can’t watch any of the animated panels. And Because I’m in the UK, I can’t use Wowio either.
Still, I can imagine that the animation would look pretty cool 🙂
Second kissing chance: destroyed by child. You’re a tease, Scott! 😀
Wow! I’m ready to see a fully animated Dreamland 🙂
Another case of Kissus Interuptus.
Thanks guys…
Kirrus…
Other users who use Linux (Ubuntu) have been able to see it.
Just download the latest Adobe Acrobat and it should be fine.
Is it just me or is the chain moving too stiffly? Shouldn’t it hang more? Just kinda seems like that kind of chain shouldn’t be that rigid…on the other hand the motion in the character models seems very smooth and realistic for something done without motion capture. That takes some mad skillz.
I live in the US, but since I use Yahoo! I can’t get any books on wowio, does anyone know a website I could get an email through that would allow it?

Hey Scott? In today’s panel (Thursday 11/29), Paddington says “Breath”… do you mean “Breathe?” Because one is a noun and the other is a verb. 😛
Aaaaaah!!! It’s breathe! Not breath! Breath is a noun with a short e sound! It rhymes with, and is spelled similar to, death.
Breathe has the long e. And there’s another e at the end to tell you this.
Sowwy. This is bothering me because it’s been mispelled throughout the entire comic.
Aaaanyway… The animated stuff is awesome and so is the non-animated stuff, including everything with a spelling mistake. The animated stuff is especially awesome, though.
Nastajia is so pretty when she smiles!!! She needs to smile more!
I would LOVE to see an animation of Alex’s magic helmet opening and/or closing if you could. (I’d say use your inspiration – the Lost in Space movie – as a reference to get the animation right). Watching Nastajia’s facial expressions change is really awesome. Thanks for the treats!
I’m loving the animation! makes me want it to be a movie even more! ;o)
So um Scott… I just downloaded the newest animated comic… um on page 9 (or page 7 of the comic) do you notice anything um…. odd about alex’s head??? LOL
That helmet always reminds me of the evil-guards out of the movie/TV series, Stargate.
