She LIVES!
🙂
Thank you all for the help on the welcome page. I hope to make some tweaks on the weekend.
I’m just so glad to get to this part of the story. And I’m sure most of you are too.
Thanks for your patience. And please…as always. Go back and re-read these sections all in one try.
It’s how they were meant to be read.
Thanks again. And see you all tomorrow.
Scott
She’s up! Yes!
Aw, this made me so glad.
I really hope she and Nicole keep in contact somehow…
I like her “little” voice at the beginning along with her weak expression. You can’t use that too many times and I think this is the first time Scott has used that technique, to good effect.
Heh. I’m reading from the beginning with my kiddos right now. I’m amazed at all the foreshadowing and thematic tie-ins that I missed from the first time around!
Dreamland/Mundania penpals! Yay! 😀
Oh yes! I’m so glad she’s well! I hope that there’s a way Nicole can see each other again…
Your calling Earth “Mundania” somehow made me think of the whole Stark/Arcadia thing from The Longest Journey. Then I suddenly realized how similar that is… sure, Dreamland Chronicles doesn’t have the explicit magic/science divide, but clearly Dreamland is a much more magical/fantastical realm than plain old Earth, so it’s similar to Arcadia in that way.
And in both The Longest Journey and (more so) its sequel Dreamfall, dreaming is used as one way to cross over from Stark to Arcadia. Coincidence, or isScott secretly a Ragnar Tørnquist fan? 😛
Actually Mundania is a reference to Piers Anthony’s Xanth series.
I wonder if pictures would fit in the bag?
I just hope that now that she’s awake the adventure can resume. Too much drama the past couple months, no action.
Probably, with the size of digital cameras these days Alex could probably take the whole camera to dreamland.
Now wait for the “Oh.” from Felicity and her returning to a coma state, just so that we can all go “YEEEEAAAAAA-booooo…” XD
Hopefully not. I don’t think people can get discouraged enough to go back into a coma. =P
love that series of books, but enough about that. yay fels awake woohoo.
Maybe not slip back into a coma but definitely not try as hard to recover. I get the impression that the strength of the magic the centaurs are weaving depends on the motivation of the recipient.
“She’s where I go when I wake up.”
“Okay. HURRRK….bleah.”
Just wonderful.
Sorry Felicity. I think Nicole being there would get you out of that bad faster then Charli’s grandfather in Willy Wonka, but Scott said no, and he’s the boss.
Knew she could do it! 🙂
BTW: This is the first panel where we see her eyes with reflections right? Just because (its only my opinion) i think considering she’s more or less a cat, her eyes could/should reflect ligth more, than for example Alex’s eyes do.
Just said so you can think about a little: But anyway: Great work as with every page! 🙂
Yay!! it worked!!
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Hey, Scott! How about an Art Gallery exhibition at Alex’s University of all the tourista spots in Dreamland? 🙂
Actually, has the name of the University/College that Alex, Dan, and Nicole attend ever been revealed? Maybe we should name it ourselves.
I nominate Mundania University. Their mascot is a fierce sock puppet.
Felicity, despite being part cat, does not have “Cat’s eyes” insofar as having cat pupils. I expect this was a decision on Scott’s part to give her a human eye shape so she is more easily related to by the audience.
she’s better!!!! few…
but I was wondering… felicity was sleeping… so… did she dream…? and when the people who lives in Dreamland sleep do they have dreams?
Ha. I’ll…uh…keep that in mind.
🙂
Morning all…
Trying to get some pages done.
Logan’s still home with Strep throat. So things have been going slow.
But I’m absolutely LOVING the comments pages. And love how easy it is to read everyone’s posts.
I’m thinking, though, that we need more avatars.
Right?
*head asplode*
Where did the link for VOTING for Dreamland Chronicles go? …. or did I just miss it today?
More avatars sounds great! You could also set up a free avatars page where folks can download the avatar of their choice for their gravatars. I have a page of free avatars page for my comics.
Now if he can get a cellphone camera into that little bag, they could exchange photos.
Oops! The link didn’t work! If you want to see my example, the address is
http://www.llw.flyingfoxesandlostlegends.com/llfreeavatarpage.html
Another wonderful page, Scott! Love how the light highlights Felicity’s face as she comes around! The whole ambiance of these panels is so uplifting!
hey, where is the top web comic voting button?
Ok, so she’s down to like three or four lives now, at least she’s awake. /clap
oops, that wasn’t much of a reply, I hit the wrong link thingie. So guess should say something on topic, while i’m here.
Scott didn’t include the twc button in the new design because he knew I liked it and he’s a big meanie. Ok, not really, but the button’s still not here. You can still vote here!
I really like the lighting you’ve got going on here. Although Alex looks a bit cross-eyed in panel 2.
YES!!!!!!! Felicity is gonna make it!!! Oh joy! And reunited with Nicole???
oh a sock puppet!? that’s sooooo powerful!
that’s actually a good question…
lol! you’re right! that looks funny…
scott not to rush you but you have GOT to start making more pages a day!
u r right! lol! looks like he is thinking so hard that he is about to go crazy…….
At least he updates it once a day and not once a week…….we would all totally die!
Why mark emphasis with boldface? I find it very distracting, especially when I try to imagine the character’s voices in my head. (I find it especially confusing as a non-native English speaker). Now that I think about it, some writers tend to put one or two words emphasized with italic per novel. Why do they do it is beyond me, since any actor with some dignity would avoid putting emphasis on those words like it’s the plague 🙂
Or use the U of Minnesota mascot: a Golden Gopher…
Not to mention how regular he is…the only times he missed were when his back went out, if I recall.
Oh…I find it really helps people know where to put the emphasis when reading.
Say if you were saying…
“I really want you to kiss me”
It could mean so many different things depending on the emphasis.
“I REALLY you to kiss me”
I really WANT you to kiss me”
“I really want YOU to kiss me”
“I really want you to kiss ME”
It can change the whole intention of what’s being said.
Get it?

Is it possible to make a re-randomize checkbox for the avy chooser when you post? I’ve seen a few people unhappy with the avy that was chosen for them.
Of course, if they could always register a custom avy with wordpress or whatever, but still….
This should be one of Nastajia’s lines.
Whew! I’m getting all warm thinking about it. 😀
Thanks. That was my first time doing a “whisper” word bubble.
Glad someone noticed.
🙂
Ha ha. As long as Jiri didn’t think I was hitting on him…I’m cool.
🙂
I was looking at just the art, and this is what came to mind:
Felicity (panel 1): Did… Did you touch me while I was unconscious?
Alex (panel 2): Oh no! I’ve gone cross-eyed.
Felicity (Panel 3): Do one of you guys know a good harassment attorney?
Alex (Panel 4): You mean… You don’t like to be groped when unconscious? All the cat girls in the movies I watch back home do…
uuuuhhh… The sound you hear is the space/time continuum ripping apart
0_0 really good question.
I like the whisper bubble as well. Yay! She LIVES!!!!
I like that she’s awake too. I think there should be a more direct way for them to communicate. Maybe when they both sleep they can haver personal dreams? Also see how everything shrinks from dreamland to earth? Maybe thats why there is tales of elves and faries being little people. I think it would be hilaruous for the elf maiden to find a way earth only to find out she’s three feet tall while she’s there.
Touching, comforting and sad at the same time. Great job!
I agree. The lighting here is amazing! I think there is less ambient lighting than normal, so shadows stand out more. There is more depth in it, somehow.
Yay! Live Felicity kitteh we can has!
*tempted to make a lolcat pic of Felicity but I’d prolly get shot for it* XD
Actually, she’s more tiger than house-cat. Tigers have round pupils, just like humans.
😉
Hmm … makes you wonder if the cellphone part would get a signal …
😉
Curses, I was using that space/time continuum.
