Something other than Wowio…
While I want to thank you all for downloading the Wowio books.
And please don’t stop…
I thought it’s time to show you guys something else here in the blog.
First…
I’d made a new animated banner I’ve been using here and there for ads.
Let me know what you think.
And this is a BLAST FROM THE PAST.
This was an ad for The Dreamland Chronicles back in 2001.
I had it in the back of The Lab.
The Lab was my first attempt to do a 3D comic.
Before Spider-Man.
Anyways. It’s pretty crude. And kind of funny.
But here ya go.
Check out that TU TU (is that the right spelling?) on Kiwi!
Anyways. Thanks again for the happy birthday wishes, the purchases of the books, and the downloads to Wowio.
Your support in all things is so greatly appreciated.
Hope you have a great day!

I actually like the “old” Alex.
He looks more cartooney.
I like the way they look now, but they don’t look bad in the other ad.
But yeah, the tutu HAD to go. He he.
Well, not to put too fine a point on it, yeah, it looks like you had some trouble with the modeling software. Clearly you did infinitely better in the current version and had some practice mastering the medium. I guess things like this happen…the early renders from Half-Life before the game was released are similarly crude…Gordon Freeman looks like Ivan the Retarded Lumberjack!
So in the old version of Dreamland…the cast was…
Bernie Mac as Nicodemus?
Angelina Jolie as Nastajia?
Dave Coulier as Alex?
Gary Coleman as Paddington?
Omg!
that definately came from 2001…
Wow that reminds me of Reboot!
Oh nice Tu Tu 😛
I actually really like old Alex, aside from the fact he’s missing half of his scalp. Of course, none of these renders hold a candle to the stuff you do now, your current works are just amazing. I’m thinking of getting into some Arts and Animation when I get into college. You have to tell me how longs it takes you to make one of these panels before I get my hopes too high! 😛
I really like Felecity’s animation in that ad (you’ll have to tell me how long that took too :P) as well, very fluid and eye-catching. Good work overall.
Oh my. That ad is very… Interesting. I don’t like to sound like a shallow person who only likes eye candy, but I don’t think I would have read Dreamland if it looked like that 😉
Also: Tsk tsk Nastajia, you said the F word. Way to ruin a possible romantic moment, girl!
The new banner ad is charming I like it. Good use of no verbal cues with Felicity. It looks like you’ve had the story concept for quite sometime. Thanks again for all of your hard work. The comic is great.
I agree with Jon – Nastajia looks like Dot from Reboot. I happen to like the old Kiwi better. The new Kiwi doesn’t look cute, just slutty. Maybe it’s the red lips, I don’t know.
Damn, you’ve come a lont way Scott! Kudos to that! ^_^
Oh and the banner rocks big time, lovely animation and you couldn’t have chosen a better character for it! 😉
Red lipstick = slutty? That’s a bit harsh don’t you think. I think her appearance is more moderate and “cute” than Disney’s Tinkerbell personally.
I agree with SparcMan. I don’t think kiwi looks slutty or anything. also the idea that “red lips=slutty” is so stupid.
So you’re basically saying that if I dressed like an amish I would still look slutty if I wore red lipstick?
…
The Lab ad…
…
You’ve come along way. I’ll just say that…
Paddington is pretty cute (and still looks practically the same), but Nastajia’s EARS! They’re ENORMOUS!
Nic just makes me crack up. 😆
You kept the logo though, I noticed.
Fel’s ad is awesome! I’d click on that!
How about a Kiwi one now- Kiwi makes the words appear with her magic. 😀
I don’t know if that’s ok, but I actually prefer Kiwi’s and Nastajia’s design to the more recent one.
I guess that’s just because in the current one they… um… I don’t know… something about their face doesn’t really sit right with me. I can’t really say what it is really, but they don’t looks as lovable somehow.
I do agree thought that the Tutu looks a bit silly and that Nastajia’s ears are too big though. 🙂 And Nicodemus and Alex look downright silly in there! 😀
Red lips look slutty when they don’t compliment the overall appearance. On a goth, they look okay. on an Amish woman, they would look worse than slutty, almost predatory. Actually, Kiwi’s lips are deep purple a lot of the time, but that isn’t better, the problem is that they are so much darker than any other part of her, including her eyes (it seems, although that may be just because the irises are so small).
Scott made doing her lips difficult when he gave her that peculiar skin color. It isn’t that the skin color is bad, it’s just really hard to coordinate other colors with it. Still, I think a bright peach or coral color would look better on Kiwi.
And, for the record, I think some of the Disney heroines look trashier than the Bratz dolls, and that Tinkerbell was written as two-faced flirt, and she needs to look trashy.
