On our way to San Diego…
Well first thing tomorrow morning the family is hopping on a plane to San Diego for the Comic Con.
This should be a really great con. I’m hoping it is…ha ha.
I look forward to meeting all of you who’ll be stopping by.
I have a raffle I’m going to do to give away some free stuff. Should be lots o’ fun.
Also…today is the start of Chapter 8.
Chapter 8 is the LAST chapter I have done.
I’ve not started chapter 9 yet…but hope to when I return next week.
I’m saying this because when I started putting Dreamland online back in January of 2006…I had about 300 pages already completed.
That’s quite a cushion.
So for a while we were at 7 days a week (6 months I think).
Now here I am 450 pages in…and I’m looking at another 50 or so pages left and hoping I can stay ahead of the curve.
I’ll keep you all up to date on things…but hopefully Comic Con goes well and we sell some books. That would really help our finances so I don’t have to keep taking the animation projects to live.
I don’t like to be in ANY way negative here. I like to keep things cheery. So please understand this is not a bad thing.
Just an update on things. I like to keep you informed so you know a bit more of what’s going on.
I hope you enjoy Chapter 8. It’s a fun chapter that lets us meet some family members of Alex and Daniel. We get not one…but TWO flashbacks to Dreamland…and of course Felicity and Nastajia go at it again…but this time Felicity shows some claws.
Stay tuned and thank you all again for being a part of this adventure of ours.
For those of you who will be in San Diego…see you in a couple days.
For those of you who can’t make it…I hope to see you one day soon.
Thanks
Scott
I’m really excited for this chapter, not only do I finally get to see the train scene (a spoiler from months and months ago) but I get flashbacks?!?! This is great!
In the future, if we’re catching up too quickly, I wouldn’t mind a time of fan drawings, 3X week updates, or something like that. It could be fun to have a caption contest too. Something to give you time to create a buffer again.
Enjoy the con!
Well, since I live in Switzerland and my finances aren’t in the greatest state either, I don’t think that I’ll be able to make it to the comic con this year. 😀 But who knows about the next. We’ll see, I guess.
I’m looking forward to this chapter as well. All the things that are going to happen… and usually if you say it’s going to be fun, things even surpass my expectations. 😉
Also I wouldn’t worry about your buffer pages dwindling. If things get stressful because of it, personally I don’t think it matters too much if the comic will be updated less often for some time and other people will certainly understand as well! After all, updating it 5 times a week is an awful lot!
You just take care and have fun at the comic con for now! Those of us who can’t come will all be waiting for your reappearance on line.
I wish our trains looked like that…!
I’m supporting you the best I can on a poor man’s budget. Can you put up some more Wowio books?
Anyways, a question for you. Whose handwriting is that? Is it yours? Just curious.
I have really been enjoying your comic. It’s my all time favorite. I love that it is updated daily. But I agree with your Schnerples if you need to, 3X a week update with some fan drawings or something might be nice, too. But I will still be on pins and needles to see what happens next. 😉
I read a lot of webcomics that are only 2-3 days a week. 5 days a week is not an easy schedule to work with and especially not easy with CGI. I’m just happy being able to read the strip as it is, so if you have to cut back to give yourself a bigger cushion and have more time for side jobs to pay the bills, by all means then go for it. it’s not like you’re going to lose anyone.
Nastajia’s pink nails are awesome. It’s going to be nice to see the way she was before becoming so darn embittered!
One note about Nastajia’s eyes. They’re a little wonky, not sure exactly what it is but they seem cross-eyed and one iris seems larger then the other.
But I love seeing them as kids!
I just love Felicity; can’t wait to see more of her. Hope all goes well at Comic Con. (One day I’ll make it there.) Take care!
Oh my god! Mini-kiwi! And Alex’s logic! I just about died laughing.
