The Dreamland Chronicles ANIMATED Issue 3!
Ok…I think I’m getting the hang of this.
This issue. NO turnarounds or flythroughs.
All character animation throughout.
It’s getting fun.
Now…you may notice that Kiwi has no butterfly trails. And the water doesn’t splash or ripple.
I am spending at most 2 days on these (the weekends) so I don’t slow down on the actual comic.
So please cut me some slack…ok??
😛
And as always…
Here’s some sample pages for our non US residents who can’t yet get on to Wowio…
Find these frames in the page and click to see them come to LIFE.
Page 7 where Alexander sees an opening that leads outside…to his first real look at Dreamland again in 8 years…
Some fun with the mermaids…and Alexander’s reaction…
Alexander sees Kiwi for the first time as an adult…
And again. I have over 60 books up on Wowio. And every download (WHICH IS FREE TO EVERYONE BY THE WAY) helps keep Dreamland going.
I want to thank you all who’ve supported Dreamland every day by coming here. Every week by downloading Wowio books. ANd also for all of you who’ve purchased figures and books from our store.
Thank you all…and hope you’re enjoying the story.

Personally, I think the extra work you’re putting into the animated ebooks is outstanding, and shows that you really love these characters and the world you’ve created. I don’t have time to worry about whether or not the “water splashes or ripples”…I’m just tickled to see the characters move and display even more personality.
Besides, the more you work on the animations, the more hope I allow myself that you’ll eventually produce a full animated short or two — or maybe even, one day, a feature-length production.
Keep up the excellent work, Mr. Sava.
I knew there was a reason I had the mermaid panel as my desktop background for a while 🙂
Nice ethnic rainbow in today’s page, by the way. It made me smile to see a politically correct panel in Dreamland. 🙂
Joey’s Dreamland clan…before they enter the pitched CTF battle with the natives.
Are those kids modelled, or at least named, after your crew at Blue Dream Studios?
Just downloaded it… AWESOME!!!!!!!
I love Kiwi’s expression as she reconizes Alex as she flutters up to him, and I could NOT stop laughing everytime I played the mermaids one and watched Alex pull that face! 😆 (he’s so full of himself!)
These animations are super duper awesomeness, you are really good at it!!!
We LOVE the animations!! Alex and the mermaids cracked us all up and Kiwi is adorable flying up to see her old pal.
These little animations are priceless. Thanks for your work.
His reaction was hilarious xD
hey I understand animations can be a bit tricky but you are doing GREAT and I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!! even though they are a bit of a tease… I think it’s awesome
Oh my goodness!
That second one is too funny! It may not look very realistic, but it sure looks cartoony enough to make me fall off my chair laughing. Especially the eyebrows – they’re hilarious.
I think the one I love most though, is the panel with Kiwi. Her facial expressions are great! I was wondering why she doesn’t glow and emit butterflies though. Is that difficult to animate? It’s not really criticism, I’m just wondering.
Wow…the motion is still great even without motion capture, and the physics have improved…all the mermaid scene needs is some ripple in the water around the bodies…but I’m guessing that could be done out of the physics engine of the renderer (much like how an FPS handles water when an enemy or the player breaks the surface of a liquid).
Fantastic, and I second the full length animated feature. Now who for the voices…
