Hi all!
It’s a new month (can you believe that? Yikes) and here’s a new vote incentive.
Also…for those of you who were wondering about the Dreamland movie.
I posted my first pass at a possible begining of the movie script up on Facebook.
You can check it out here…
Hope you like…
Scott
oh, good, alex can remember things other than the fact that Nas is in serious danger. Still don’t know what Nic could do about Dan though.
try to squeeze his scaly but into dan’s non-dream zone and go Mmmmmmmmmmmm Human!*chomp* ?
xD also goooood morning 😀
Dun dun Dunnnn! poor dan, he looks terrified.
regarding the script
Love Kiwi’s responses!^-^
Maybe I missed it, Dan said to check out the tunnel, but it didn’t seem like they really knew about the tunnel to begin with??? Im probably just tired, will reread.
….”ahm thinkin'” …first borns used to inheirit, right? dan is first born….so technichally he should be king…..hmmm Hey, at least they’d have a smart king! =)
Epic face for Dan on the last panel, made my day it did! I was beginning to think Alex’d be so caught up about Nastajia, he’d forget warning Dan and we’d have a scene like”WHAT? WHY YOU DIDN’T TELL ME BEFORE?”
To reply to Megadorkynerdgoddess, yes, Dan should technically be king, but the sword expressedly stated in previous pages that Alex was the king, and if only the king can have the sword, I guess we have to make do with the fact that Dreamland has a king who takes his dinner from vending machines xD!!!
Hi there! Hmm Scott, I have a question. I was wondering what the inspiration for your comic was?
Quite a few years ago I went through a period of dreaming about being somewhere else, every night i’d go to bed i’d wake up somewhere else and it would continue from when it stopped the last time. This went on for 3 straight years before it just quit. I did a lot of research into astral traveling , Astral projection , lucid dreaming and all sorts of text based on the subconscious and dream states. I notice you touched on that a few pages back too. Though my story wasn’t as colourful, it was still interesting none the less for me to remember it as though it happened yesterday.
Great work!
I’ve actually have got one of those going, but it seems more like the future then a dream. Every time I dream it, faces, places, events, they all change. I can tell you now, the future is the scariest thing, and it is telling me that either me (or the person I’m dreaming about. I reaaaally hope it is not me), is going to rock the socks off this world.
(Then again, this life does not amuse me when it comes to ironies. Argh. -_-”)
He looks a bit like Wallace from “Wallace and Gromit”, if you ask me… 😀 It’s similar to the expression Wallace puts on when one of his inventions didn’t work as planned.
Hopefully Dan will take this seriously,with his life in danger.Is Daniel Carter’s title in Dreamland known as “Daniel the Unseen” if not would that be a good title?
Hey, Scott! Love the script! I really think you brought Nastajia, Alex and Dan to life. I disagree with a lot of the comments on the Facebook page that Alex shouldn’t take down the Cyclops alone. It’s a movie, and your hero needs an introduction. I thought that Nastajia’s interaction with Alex during that scene is golden.
I’d only say find some way to give both Kiwi and Paddington a ‘moment’ in that opening sequence, so that we remember them, and in a quick way, get introduced to their characters. Maybe even take the ‘they’re so in love” scene and put it in that opening segment. The audience is thinking it anyway and that little exchange is both SO Kiwi and SO Paddington, that we get an authentic glimpse into them very quickly.
It was a really fun read!! Which is a good sign, because I usually get antsy about half way through reading stuff like that on a computer screen. But you kept me interested. 🙂
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Way t’ break it to ‘im, Alex.
Dan: “Nicodemus knows? He knows about my Harry Potter obsession?!”
Alex: “No, I mean he knows you…wait, what?”
Dan: “Never mind, just take this valium now!”
He remembered! I knew Alex was smarter than we gave him credit for.
Dan is freakin right about….now xD
Alex: reels Dan in with his concern for ‘Staj
Dan: takes bait
Alex: sucker punchs Dan with fact Nic is now out to get him too
*hee hee hee* Love Dan’s expression on that last panel.
I noticed that look and make me wonder what has Orion told him?
I’ve actually had the same thing happen to me before too!!
It seems as if I’d be transported to this post-apocalypse world where the modern world collapsed on itself for some reason, and bizarrely reverted back to medieval roots but with a steam-punk twist.
In those dreams, I’d always be traveling around like I was in some sort of role playing game… meaning that I would be in this adventuring party that often had those reoccurring characters, and we would often go on those random adventures. :p
My party in the dream often consisted of:
Two armored knights who ride on steam-powered motorcycles, by the name of Johan and Joel. They’re brothers, but completely different as day and night. Johan is Blonde, blue-eyed, and likes to joke around a lot. Joel is black-haired, blue-eyed and has no sense of humor at all. And being knights, they think it’s more chivalrous to use swords and shields instead of guns. surprisingly enough, they seem to be adept against gun-wielders.
Queenie, an rebellious, teenage female elf who’s not royalty at all but is called this because her real name is too long for us to pronounce, much less remember. She’s considered an “rebel” by her own people because she’s one of the few elves who embraces technology, machines over nature and magic. she loves her machine guns way too much… oh, an she has this Mohawk hairstyle. The elves from this comic would probably raise a few eyebrows at her attitude and appearance, that’s for sure. 😛
Raine–Stereotypical Southwest cowgirl who talks like she just hopped out of a bad western. She’s a bounty hunter, and will do any dirty job for money. In fact Money seems to be all she thinks about sometimes. Like Queenie she also uses guns as her main weapon but instead of machine guns they’re pistols. Unlike the other party members, she makes sporadic appearances in my dreams, and usually only comes to us if she needs us to help her with some difficult jobs.
And lastly, there was me where I apparently filled out the role of the “magic-user”…. where I went around pretending I was a mage or something… and this was my way of explaining why I could shape shift, fly and summon random objects in my dream. Because the people around me in the dream would often react as people would in reality should they see somebody suddenly shape shift randomly. “AHH! That girl just morphed into a bird? WTF? oh, she’s a mage… explains it.” :p
oh, and for some reason people were often very hostile to “dreamers” in this dream world I’d visit often. They would try to kill all suspected dreamers, or capture them so that their dream-powers would be exploited.
so that was why I had to pretend that I was just one of them, and that I just happened to be a magic user. Apparently they blamed dreamers for bringing the apocalypse upon the world some 100 years ago. The only people who really knew I was a dreamer was Johan and Joel, and they knew I wasn’t personally responsible for what happened a long time ago…. so they would actually help protect my secret, and in return I’d help them out with random missions and the like.
kind of quite the opposite of this comic series. interesting, eh? mine’s been going on for like 9 years now so far… I know it might end one day though. =\
But I’ve been keeping track of it … filled out like five dream jounrals. 😛
This is why I’m such a fan of this series really…. because it reminds me so much of my own dreams in a way. only expect that comic’s dream world is way more cuter and childlike than mine is.
Argh, didn’t realize that would become so long! sorry about that. *blushes*
Yep! It’s a dah dah duuuun moment for Dan! XD
Liked the script, Scott! Seemed to be a ‘fleshed in’ version of the beginning of the comic.
it’s ok, you’ve been dreaming it for 9 years and counting. With the amount of character development you’re likely to get in that amount of time, I think you did well to make a character summary that short 🙂
I liked reading it anyway 🙂
I do hope we get to see more of dan’s role in the big picture
Whew! I’m kind of relieved to come here and find a normal comic that makes perfect sense with relation to everything that’s come so far. A lot of comics are running gag strips today, what with it being April Fool’s Day and all. Thanks for keeping some normalcy in my day Scott. 🙂
Having Kiwi point out “there’re in love”, makes it clear that this was a foursome where two recently expanded their relationship, as opposed to the two always have been closer and the other two following along.
Dan semes genuinely scared. My first reaction (which still is my reaction) “How? He doesn’t dream at all.” Maybe we shall learn, in greatly summerazied form, what Orion and Dan discussed, yay. But I still would like an answer as quickly as possible.
That actually sounds like it would be a pretty cool story, or maybe even series of stories. Have you considered trying to organize your journals into a format suitable for publishing? With or without graphics, this sounds like a story I would want to read.
Couldn’t have said it better myself, Lora!
My initial reaction, I admit, was “uh oh, he’s changing things!”, but I kept reading, and I think this sounds like a good start on the movie adaptation.
🙂
I’d almost be willing to bet that it didn’t even occur to Scott to run an April Fools’ gag strip today …
😉
Thanks Lora.
It’s painful cutting out so much. But it’s an interesting experience.
I really appreciate you taking the time to read it.
🙂
LOL yup, guess so. Maybe by the time alex is crowned they’ll have figured out a way to get dan there, and he can be like Kings Advisor or something.
Yes id definatly read it, you have me hooked already. Nice description i can already picture them. Joel saounds like he would be alot of fun to mess with. 🙂
Okay, yeah, i just missed it, sorry. Totaly rockin script though! Great forshadowing of events to come! Little things that we don’t find out till later in the comic are hinted at very nicely here in order to keep a movie and tv type audience interested and not too surpised. And it’s still totally interesting for everyone else. I love it. The changes are, nice and even and sound, but exciting! I can’t wait for the movie!!!!!!!!
Well the jokes on YOU, HA!
😛
Yeah. I’m not much for April fools. Or practical jokes.
The way I’m interpreting the situation is that the king cannot come to Dreamland while the previous king is alive. The way to get around that is to split the king’s abilities off and give them to Alex and take the limitations and give them to Dan. Because they are twins, they both could be considered candidates to be king. Alex got all the good stuff (including Nastajia 🙂 )
Thank you for sharing your dreamscape with us! Do you remember any of your adventures? I’d love to hear about them in detail. Or you could try writing them out as stories. Sure, a full-fledged comic would be great, but the folks reading this webcomic are pretty good at making pictures in our heads.
A friend of mine once relayed a rather similar dream–different details, and all of our “group” was involved. But it hasn’t happened to me…yet.
OMG
Dreamland Chronicles movie script!
Our family is getting really excited over this! I hope it goes well!
Keep it up! Hope to see it in animation
This has been bothering me so much. I usually vote for all of the webcomics I follow, but I am having difficulty finding the link to take me to the Twc voting station for this comic when you don’t have it right in your notes. If I am failing to see somthing right in front of my nose I would appriciate someone pointing it out to me, otherwise I think putting a link on the main page would be a very good idea.
Dan’s face says it all. OH @#$%.
You’re not missing it. I don’t have a permanent link any more.
No one was really using it.
So please don’t worry if you don’t remember if there’s no link up. It’s not that big of a deal. Thank you for your reading and voting.
Fantastic facial expressions in this one- again, it all really captures the moment! Thank goodness Alex remembered…but I had faith. He knows when to get things done!
So…a lot of us I think are wondering “what can Nicky do to Dan if Dan doesn’t dream?” But “Staj” thought it was important to warn Dan, and Dan looks like it is important. So what CAN Nicky do? The first thought that goes through my mind is “remove the block, wait for Dan to fall asleep, and murder him the moment he wakes up in Dreamland.” IF my thought is accurate, I think we can expect a few bottles of Bawls for Dan in the future. 🙂
in my continuous dreams i usually end up on the enterprise….
If you read the comments, and can’t find Scott’s link, always look for one of my posts. I usually post the vote link in a comment, and even if I don’t it’s right up ^there^ underneath my username; just click it!
😉
lol^^ that he does
