Scott
seems I’m the first on this one…
It seelf like she has one of her hands through his upper torso, could be just me here
I see the future… and I see that they will kiss (or be very close to) just before he wakes up.
I think she actually has her arms around his left arm, not his torso.
Regardless, I’m really enjoying the warmth of the scene.
It does look at little odd at first glance, but if you give it a good looking at, it becomes clear that she’s got her arms wrapped around his arm.
Scott, didn’t we already have a long discussion about the unsuitability of phallos-shaped buildings in a PG-13 story, back in the fairy village…? 😉
(panel 1)
Speaking of the PG-13 rating , one could say Nastajia is insinuating something, but Alex is to dense to buy a clue….
Given that she’s hugging him, I was just thinking that myself.
Someone HAS to say it.
It’s good to be the king.
Especially buildings that look like they have a sad face on them….
Why is she still wearing her gauntlets? She takes off her battle cloak but not the battle gloves?
I doubt that kids of an age under 13 will actually realize that this building is a phallus of any kind. I’d be only concerned if they did more than just kissing… but I doubt they will (even though their pose and Alex being almost naked suggests a LOT). I also like it that the balustrade is just about at the right height to conceal possible arousal on Alex’s side. 🙂
Sorry, I hope the last sentence is still save to post under a PG-13 commenting policy.
Maybe he’s just unsure what to do. No one can be that dense.
Alex needs to get out to the beach something fierce…
*Sigh* Exactly how a good summer’s eve should be.
Great moment of rest&introspection there.
Ok Alex, I don’t think that’s on her mind.
She has no hands.
We never modeled what’s under the gloves.
🙁
This is such a warm moment. The Lives they lead prevent them from spending much time just enjoying each others’ company. This is a nice break from all the stress.
ROFL!!! Scott, this admission made me laugh out loud at work! I actually wondered that a day or 2 ago when I noticed the gauntlets.
Hands or no hands (sorry, sorry…) this page is quite beautiful, that’s one hell of a sunset in the background Scott, such lovely colours!
so glad i wasn’t the only one thinking that. (about the railing, not your comment) 🙂
I was thinking, geez, for a college age boy who has a pretty elf girl hanging on him while he’s half nekkers, he’s being pretty cool, haha XD
Just a thought….Does Alex ever sleep in Dreamland or is he always awake?
Alex looks like a vampire in the last panel. White and slightly shiny. lol
Ditto. He’s not going far as a king if he can’t pick up on subtle hints.
That may be true, but Nastajia’s always been a kind of glowy figure I’ve noticed. If you look back at how everyone looked underwater, her skin retained a warmth and radiance that Alex’s lost then. And back a few pages, she almost glows in shadow when no one else does…it’s just that no one’s skin tone will look lovely next to hers. 🙂
Lovely. Just lovely. 🙂
Then get those hands modeled! They obviously ARE needed.
Any other parts not modeled on your characters? 🙂
I think it’s more a case of that he knows what he wants to do, but also knows he’s liable to ‘wake up’ right in the middle of it……or right at the end. And if you think him waking up just before kissing her made her frustrated……..that would be infinitely worse!
(This should have been a reply to Scott’s reply to Greg……)
Hm… I never thought Staj was the clingy sort, but she hasn’t taken her hands off Alex since he took his shirt off… *hah*
Well, you CAN be a king and somewhat oblivious, as long as someone very close to you is more aware, can figure things out, and tell you what to do…
You know… I was thinking the exact same thing… 😉
Nastajia: “What I wouldn’t give to put you in a coma!”
I love Mel Brooks. Well played.
Have you ever noticed that your avatar looks like a Ninja Alex?
LOL poor Nastajia, born with no hands but thanks to the power of Elvin magic, she has fingers Waring the gauntlets! lol
loving this story line, but i do have a bit of a problem that no one has offered the king any type of clothing or even a blanket!
I don’t think that is the case. his expression in the last panel to me looks like he has something very deep on his mind!
She’s TOTALLY insinuating something, yes! I have to admit that Alex’s total cluelessness made me laugh out loud, here. 😀
She was clearly checking him out with approval a page or two ago, too. She seems ready to move their relationship up a level or two. He’s completely oblivious, being Alex! 😀
That may well be on Nastajia’s orders… 😀
What’d be cruel is if they stayed like that, with all their thoughts of things they don’t have time to do because he’s about to wake up (such as, you know… a good game of chess), for over an hour. Thinking all the while he’s going to wake up any second now, so no point starting something.
I’m probably kind of mean for thinking that would also be rather funny. 🙂
At least she’s got her shoulders. That’s a start.
Sometimes a tower really is just a tower.
Unless it’s a cigar?
I beleve he is wearing a shirt, its just sort of skin toned
Oh but it WOULD be funny! 😛
Alex: *sigh* Yup, anyyyyyyy moment now. )_)
Staj: Um… Alex… you know, we’ve been here for over an…
Random Noise: Beeep beeeeeep bEEEEEEEEp BEEEEEEEEEEEP
Alex: *Yawn* Jeez, that took a little longer than I… OMG WE WERE STANDING THERE DOING NOTHING FOR A WHOLE HOUR!!!! Gyaaaarrrghhh!!!! *facepalm*
Dan *falling out of bed startled*: Woah, WOAH Alex what happened, why are you shouting!?!? Is everything alright!?! O_O
Alex: *sigh* Nothing happened Dan, and I mean NOTHING… Grrrrrrrrrrrr… >_>
Dan: Oh… kay…? O_o
I’ve been meaning to comment that there’s actually been very little direct physical contact between Alex and Nastajia. She always wears gloves, and he’s been in armor for almost all the time.
To be honest, though I know this is an all-ages comic, I thought Nastajia’s hands were somewhere inappropriate in frames 2 and 3!!! And then thought that the last panel looked quite off if Nastajia was hugging Alex’s torso. Oh goodness! It didn’t even click that she was hugging his arm…. Ohhh dear…. cute update though! =D
Also: LOL at no hands.. >_> XD
Or a rocketship!
I thought she had hands when she was remodelled for the scenes in the centaur village, when she changed into native clothes?
The scene is heartwarming, but it foreshadows a big problem — Alex can’t live in Dreamland forever, and can’t have a meaningful relationship with Staj because of his human limitations … if he tries, it would twist him up psychologically, and potentially kill him (there’s only a few ways to sleep forever). So heartwarming as it is, I brace myself for the day when he is forced to face this issue.
Where are the “Manly men in tights” right now???????????????
I see hands http://thedreamlandchronicles.com/the-dreamland-chronicles/page-897%e2%80%a6/
I have a feeling there was more to Nastajia’s comment than just “I’m beat.” Alex should really pay more attention to his girlfriend…
Better question. What happens when you fall asleep in dreamland?
I have to agree with this statement, hands down.
(Hur, sorry, couldn’t help the bad pun. XD)
But yes, the lighting is simply beautiful!
If you look carefully, you can see that it’s a dark top (look around the neck area).
Yay! I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one tempted to use that pun!
She’s liking that chest… 😀
I think that’s the shadows. If you look at it, the dark line continues across Nastajia’s face, and you can see his collarbone way too clearly for him to be wearing a shirt.
Which means he really is standing on the balcony next to Nastajia in his boxers.
Great.
Are your sure that’s not just gloves in a tone matching her skin?
Hm, pity. I find a woman’s hands quite beautiful.
You go to Nangilima. 😉
No, sorry – that’s Nangi-dreama!
GAH… Just spent the last 9 hours reading this story start to finish. SO eager for the next page. This story and this world are both SO amazing. I’m normally not a fan of CG drawings outside animation, but the effort put into this, the characters and details. The first time I noticed the reflections in Alex’s armor I just about had a fit from excitement. This is a truly amazing comic and I cannot WAIT to read more.
I disagree. If he were to have a relationship with someone in the “real” world (a defunct phrase considering Dreamworld is also “real”), he would have the same problem. Even if he didn’t visit Dreamworld in his sleep. You spend several hours of every day unconscious, away from your friends/family/loved-ones. The fact that he wasn’t born in the same world as her doesn’t change his ability to have a romantic relationship with her.
At worst, their time is periodically interrupted by his Earth obligations (spontaneously waking up at inopportune moments), and/or they are biologically incapable of having kids. There are thousands of people on Earth with these same problems.
tl;dr It’s no different than if he were an infertile narcoleptic in our world. With a little effort they’ll make it work same as any other relationship.
Thank you!
And welcome to dreamland!
The real problem is explaining it to th IRS come tax day.
LOL XD Bravo, Sir. A most important consideration.
I’d be more worried if they SUCCEEDED in having kids.
Is that a ”Death to Smootchie” reference?
I don’t think that is the case. his expression in the last panel to me looks like he has something very deep on his mind!
Inside reading webcomics? Helz Yeah.
