Page 733…
Well…that’s it folks.
That’s the halfway point of the series.
This is the end of chapter 12.
I’m currently getting all of the assets ready to start work on Chapter 13…and as I said before.
It may be a few weeks until you start seeing more pages.
I’ll be putting guest pages up hopefully starting next week.
After that…I’ll probably put up behind the scenes and making of images. But it WILL be something new every day. OK?
I want to thank you all for your incredible support over these last 2 and a half years.
Updating daily for over 700 pages was NO easy task.
I want to thank you for understanding I need a small break to gain a bit of a buffer to move ahead.
I hope you’ve enjoyed the story so far.
Scott
Thank you for all your hard work, it has definitely been worth it so far!
Ack! Cliffhanger!
It’s not hard to guess what happens next though.
Alexander and the others (including Nastajia?… hmmm) jump in and stop Ole Nick right there. Probably erupting into a massive battle including the Dwarf King and maybe even some of his men and some nightmare creatures. Things are about to get ugly I’m sure.
You.. you.. bastage! Leaving us there.. with a catgirl almost in the claws of the evil dragon.. eeek!
WEEKS I have to wait??!
..consider it a compliment I’m considering duct taping you to your art desk and not allowing cookies into your life until I see the next page 😉
Thank you so much for the chapter! (all of them so far!) You know, I really love the texture you use on Felicity’s skin. It’s smooth enough to be cartoony like the others, but the powdery-matte look gives her a great peachfuzz look.
And yeah, SparcMan, they’ll surely do something _now_. They’ve been standing around silent for a while (which at the very least seems uncharacteristic for the dwarf king. Maybe he’s sneakily sending for reinforcements while Nic rambles on and on…)
Then again, if Alex wakes up RIGHT now, they will be down one dragon-chopping sword. When he gets into Dreamland again, they might all be prisoners and he’ll have to mount a big rescue. 🙂
haha, Jen Shikami reads dreamland? haha make some dreamland themed fish for SL!! (if its the same Jen Shikami of course)
And do not dare to hurt Felicity more than that…she’s one of the best characters in the comics…she deserves to have some great time ….
read the comic every day and enjoy it..;)
I can hear the announcer in the background…. “Poor Felicity, What will happen? Will the Big Bad Dragon Get Her? Does Alex and Nastajia and the others come to her aid? Stay tuned to this DreamLandChannel to find out.” yep I can hear it now…. can’t wait for it to come back!
@scott: No need to apologize for some hiatus. You’re doing great work and I’m looking forward to what’s there to come, be it guest art, be it summat else. 🙂 Enjoy the well earned break, fetch deep breaths of air and regenerate. Good things are worth waiting for.
Besides this is going to get ugly by the looks of it. I can’t imagine the others standing by whilst that fricking dragon has a violent go at Felicity.
Having read the comic daily for a few years now, its bloody well high time I piped up and said a big thankyou from all the way over here in Australia. Your hard work continues to delight me, and I cant wait to see what happens next.
I seem to be in the same mindset as Truly. I started reading this comic about a year ago and was truly delighted to have a comic that I could come back to each day to read. I think that what you did, putting out a new page every day, is absolutely amazing. Your work is wonderful and I look forward to seeing more after you’ve had a well deserved break.
Same thing Gracious said – after reading DC for more than a year, THANK YOU for an excellet comic!
<3
We’ll be here waiting
Evil leaving us on a cliffhanger!
However enjoy your break 🙂 you most defo deserve it 😀
Hey Scott, THANKS for a WONDERFUL time! I have never ever seen or read a webcomic that has updated so clockwork and often as yours have. And neither have I read such a captivating story either! Ah well, MAYBE that elf story whatsitsnameagain, Inverloch! reached the same interestingness, but hell not even close in updating rate. I’ve never felt so addicted in my life! Looking forward to the continuation, but I feel no abstinence problems – the break has been well announced in advance. Excellent work, all of it! Cheers mate…
cliffhanger for a few weeks. You mean, mean, mean meanie.
XD that said I am just sad dreamland is pausing more than anything.
If you don’t have enough guest stuff, say something. Me and a few others could toss some more your way 🙂
He already said so several times, Squeeself.
Hey, I think that a break now, after so many years without one, is a very small price to pay. I don’t mind the wait–patience is the only Virtue I have. 😉
Nooooo MUST…..HAVE…..DAILY…..FIX !!!!
Well I hope when you work on the second half of the story that you also work on follow on stories. The Dreamland Chronicles are just too addictive to leave. 🙂
Awesome moment to take the break, too! The gang trapped and Fliss in direct danger of being eaten…
700 pages is a fantastic achievement, Scott. Well done – and thank you for a truly great story, so far.
Can’t wait for the next 700 🙂
My timing, as always, is less than ideal. I wandered over here after I saw your guest strip for Wapsi Square..and immediately lost a couple of productive days of work reading all the strips and most of the comments from day one. Great work, great comic. Right up there with Schlock Mercenary and Sluggy Freelance as my favorites. I’ll very much look forward to new stuff!
cliff hanger. ugh. LOL Great story so far 🙂 I’m going to try to get a drawing to you.. it’s not much of a “guest page” but it’s a something to put up that you don’t have to create lol.
I have to chime in (again, lol!) That is a cruel cliffhanger to leave us all with, oye!! But take your time Scott, you most definitely, certainly, unquestionably, deserve it! I’ve been loving the comic and it’s been so great that you share you journey with us on this comic. I shall be waiting sort of patiently for the next chapter!
You’ve asked for guest art, what about a short, short story about Dreamland???

lots of hugs. it’s been great times, and i can’t wait for more!
Ty for already a wondertime with these absolutely amazing comic! You deserve it! and I can’t wait for the next 12 chapters!!
have fun in the meantime!
Thank you so much for spending so much of your time to bring us this wonderfulls trip for so long. Although it makes me sad to know I wont get new strips for a little bit you definately have earned a break!
Hey Scott, great work, thanks for the excellent story so far!
I won’t pretend that I am happy you are taking a break, I look forward to reading the comic every day to much to be happy about. That said, you certainly deserve it. Besides, if you are taking your first break now, at the halfway point, that means you will finish the story without any more breaks, right? 🙂
Take your time, re-charge, and enjoy the family and quiet time around the house when the kids are in school. And yes, Kindergarten classrooms are a giant germ breeding ground.
Thanks for the great work so far, looking forward to when you get some more pages done. Have been following since coming over from the PVP link (and going through the archives). I big thanks for you great work so far. Will try to be patient to see how this great story continues to evolve.
It has certainly been an interesting and exciting story so far and I will definitely be sticking around to see the rest of it. Thanks for all the great comics and keep up the good work.
Thanks for the great comic and updating so regularly for past few years =) You definitely deserve a break ^__^ And thanks for arranging to have something new up every day while you’re on your break~! That’s so nice of you ^__^
I have to reiterate Val’s words… I found this a couple of weeks ago and also spent a few work days doing nothing but reading Dreamland… then I agonized having to wait each day for the next update… now I am going to have to wait an unnamed number of weeks for the next update!!!
I do understand though… every day for 2+ years with no vacation is tough… I follow a couple of other comics but yours is the ONLY one that is consistently updated! That takes dedication and I respect that immensely. Not only that, but yours is the only one I re-tell to my son as a bedtime story!
Scott! Awesome work, man! And way to leave us hanging for a hiatus! 😛 Seriously, though…you deserve the break, man. Enjoy it, brother, and we’ll be waiting here to see Felicity’s fate when you return!
Great Cliffhanger, Scott! ‘sigh’, two weeks, eh? Well, you deserve the break from all the hard work! I’ll be waiting for your return. Take care.
Looking forward to your return Scott! You put together an impressive run, and I’m looking forward to another 2.5 years for the rest of the story. 🙂 Enjoy your hiatus!
Just wanted to say that im a long time fan (first post though, as i tend to shy towards being a lurker! >.>)
And that i absolutely love your dreamlands chronicle’s!! Can’t wait to see what happens next! 🙂
First time poster ^^
I discovered this comic only about a month ago, read everything in less than a week… and now I’ve got to wait to read some more 🙁
But… You deserve it! 😀
You rock, Scott! I look forward to the resumption of the comic.
Enjoy your well-earned break 🙂
Commenting for the first time here…
I just wanted to say “thanks a lot”, Scott, for many hours of great entertainment. I loved your comic so far (story, characters, graphics, …) ! Take as much time as you need and then GET BACK, I’m waiting for more! 😀
Methinks some more slashy from the HUMAN is going to teach Nicky here to back off from his “Almighty” complex!
I totally respect your decision to take a break, Scott, especially since I only discovered this comic in April, but did it have to be such a painful cliffhanger?! I love Felicity, and I want her to stay in the gang!
This is really enchanting, addictive, and beautiful. I will have to e-mail you about purchasing some of those panels… >_>
Ha! Wow. this is my first post! My eyes hurt because I just read up to this point in one day!!! Anyway, gonna go close them for a bit. Love your work!!! And also, just a thought from a while back about nicole. You notice how nicole has that line of hair going down over her eyebrow… and ol’ nic has the scar… well probably not. the other idead abut nicole were more plausible now that I’ve read on.
and also, about this panel: AAAAAAAAAH!!! RUN!!!
I’m so grateful to all of you. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Wonderful work thank you!
You’re so nice to always be sure there’s something to look at every day! I was going to whine about no new pages, but I’d like to see what other stuff you put up too. 🙂
Thank us? No, thank you Scott. This comic is brilliant. Really uplifting and enjoyable. You’ve brought at least one Australian (me) a great deal of enjoyment.
Terrific story and I really appreciate your family centered approach to the webcomic space. Thanks!
Cool beans, can’t wait to see what you have coming. I have enjoyed the series from the beginning when I started reading it 2 weeks ago until today.
I suppose I can put this on hold until you manage to pop up with more material to keep us captive fans in your grasp. Thanks very much for putting together a fantastic story and sharing it with everyone. I shall be introducing this to quite a few people to allow them time to catch up to where we all are now.
^_^
Thanks so much for one of the most beautiful and engaging stories I’ve read in years. Your gift has really brought a lot of enjoyment to me and I truly look forward to more of your work.
I just started reading this only 4 days ago and i’m already at this point. It brought me in so fast that I couldn’t stop reading. I was almost late for work twice just wanting to go on reading. That’s why i’m going to get in my freezer and not come out for 6 weeks. It should be enough time for you to continue on….
NOOO! Don’t hurt the poor kitty!
This is by far the best web comic I have read so far. I found out about it testing my jobs web filter no less. Anyway just purchased both books which I consider a wonderful investment, while free here this comic is worth every penny to be able to carry around. Keep up the great story, and I’m glad there is an end in sight some comics just go on forever.
Whoo… I read this whole comic in one sitting. I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical about the 3D art at first, but I got so used to it… it’s just gorgeous. I love the dialog especially. 😛 Nico’s melodramatics in particular. *Man*, I love characters like that.
You’ve done a marvelous job of creating a hooking comic that’s both attractive and has substance. Thank you for all the effort you put in to this– it’s been fun. You can be sure I’ll be back to read when this updates again. Good luck with everything!
i just say WOW
NOOOOOOOOOO! FELICITY!
Oh no! If you see your shadow when you come out, it will mean six more weeks of hiatus!
Hmmm, left arm extended, but right close to the body, so free swordway to the neck i’d say. 😈
Looks like Felicity is about to be reduced to 8 lives…
All this talk about a hiatus, a break really would have made me nervous, but getting to the bottom of the comments and not seeing any “Hey, it’s been four years, why haven’t you come back yet” posts reassures my mind. Of course, since you’ve taken your mid-way break, now you should be fine to update daily to the end of the story… Which, if this is page 733, and it has been just shy of 4 years, you should have already gone through a big chunk of that. *rubs hands together* Excellent. I am happy to have so much left to read.
What was Felicity thinking?! The most she could likely pull off by attacking Nicodemus is sharpen her claws against his scales. “Stop it, cat-girl, that tickles.”
I like the helpful info you provide in your articles. I’ll bookmark your blog and check again here frequently. I am quite sure I’ll learn a lot of new stuff right here!
Best of luck for the next!
Regards for sharing this very good web page.
Nice try, Skynet.
