Hi all…
Feeling MUCH better today. Whew!
I’ve got a couple pages rendered. So I think we’ll be OK. For now at least.
🙂
Thanks for the well wishes of support.
I’ve been asked if I’ll be finishing up Gary the Pirate on Wowio…
The answer to that is…YES! I will try and get that up on Wowio in the next few days. Please stay tuned..and thank you for asking.
I’ll also recommend Ed’s Terrestrials and Pet Robots.
As I mentioned yesterday…Wowio will be getting more sponsors. So if you’ve used up your 5 free downloads…check back. They’re supposed to get a few more.
Coming up next for Wowio will be these fun books:
So exciting!
I get the feeling that showing that to Nic was a bad idea.
and the wheels are being set into motion. oh poor naive arthur. do you not see the evil beside you? @_@
The course has been set, indeed.
*Insert dramatic music here*
OK, who wants to guess what’s in the letter to Nic? Here’s my guess.
“Hi. I’m 28 years old. Capricorn. Love big men. Love a guy who is in charge. If you’re second fiddle, go play somewhere else. If you are a redhead with a fiery personality, you’re for me!”
Arthur is often portrayed as being blind to the dangers and betrayals closest to him (biggest example: Lancelot & Guinevere). I think the character of Arthur here is perfect: smart, idealistic, and really a good person – but doomed to be brought down by his own naivete.
Don’t forget to VOTE, everyone!
For everyone who can’t find a 13″ x 19″ frame for their prints (didn’t find it at Hobby Lobby), here are two places on the internet with the cheapest I could find.
http://frameusa.com/postframselect.htm
There, the “poster frame” for 13″ x 19″ is only $4.65, but the catch is that you need to order $100 minimum on your order. That works great if you have a bunch of stuff that needs to be framed (we did this with our 6 or 7 odd-sized things we had not gotten around to framing yet). If you just need 1 or 2, go their retail site which is here:
http://www.frameplace.com/xposters.htm
There, I ordered two 13″ x 19″ black poster frames for $9.30 each with $10.10 shipping cost. If you want different wood or metal frame designs, they have those, too. Also, you can choose different backing materials, if desired. Both places do custom frame sizes as well.
“I… I can’t read!” Nicodemus exclaimed as he roared and flew into a fit of madness.
Man, those dragons. They’re just never very good for Camelot’s health. If there’s nothing else I’ve learned from too many comic books and too much television…
I’m really enjoying these scenes! It’s so nice to learn some of the history of Dreamland!
So Arthur tried out a revolution of merging two worlds?
Well, I am developing some kind of understanding for Nicodemus’ point of viel …;->
Nick could see so far in the future. So that was the little tinee tiny step that made him betray Arthur…
Nicodemus: *reading* “How do you keep a treacherous dragon busy for hours? See other side of this note…”
Scott, glad you’re feeling better.
jakesdad, funny. Brent, Silverwolf, man y’all are rough. *snort*
Oh, man! You’re making Nic sound like the Golden Retriever in the Beggin’ Strips commercial (can be found on YouTube).
“Only one thing smells like bacon and that’s bacon! There! In that bag! What does it say? **Huff** I CAN’T READ!!!!”
Not really merge them. More like have the wisdom and order of Dreamland influence the chaos that is in the waking world.
Ha!
😆
Well I think the general consensus for Nic is he isn’t loved, liked, a whole lot by any one… Sure Arthur had him as a advisor but I do not think he fully trusted him to be a free agent lol… And I think Merlin is giving him advice in Camelot to deal with Nic when he is being unreasonable… Nic a dragon unreasonable?? grinz… Now I am curious to as what the note Arthur brought to Dreamland says… Maybe this: Dear Nic, I am sending you a present name St George. I do hope you enjoy him he really loves dragons.
Merlin
Glad you’re feeling better, Scott!
Hmmmm… Interesting that the centaurs would be the pony express between Dreamland and the Waking world…
Oh thank you so much for uploading all of Gary the Pirate! I haven’t been able to download any yet because my computer needs to be fixed (hopefully that will be resolved by Saturday the latest) and I want to keep the books on my comp. I’ve been using other comps so I don’t miss a day of Dreamland.
Since Arthur is so blind to Nick’s anger, I imagine that the castle shall soon be enjoying roast centuar for dinner one night, as Arthur will probably tell him the centuars and the “red men” developed the bag.
Not sure if Scott intended the symbolism, but, they are dual-natured creatures, part horse, part human. I think it makes perfect sense that they’d be able to communicate through the veil.
Awww… Don’t be so hard on the guy… I’m sure his mother loves him… Unless Nick took too long to come out of the egg, so that by the time he did, mom and the siblings were all gone… And then he was raised by someone else…
That’s it! Nick is a bad guy because he was raised in a dysfunctional family! It’t not his fault at all! Let’s all be nice to him, and see if he doesn’t mend his ways…
i am glad your doing better scott, hell i wouldnt care if wsnt rendered i settle for drawings and stick figures to lessen the stress on you
oh man i cant wait to see what it says!!
i have funny feeling that letter is from Merlin to nick on knowing he up to something, and doesnt trust him
Huh… I see a couple of books there that I don’t own yet… and one with a different Gary the Pirate cover than the one I own…
LOL.
He’s depraved on acount of he’s deprived!
What does it say? what does it say? What does it saaaayyy!?
Glad you are feeling better?
Another explanation is that Arthur knew Gweneviere did not love him–it was a political marriage–so he allowed the trysting with Lancelot, since he cared for them both so much. However, Lancelot went too far when he took the queen off to his castle, breaking the unspoken agreement among them.
ooh i love how their characterizations are strong and consistent 🙂
It reads….
“You have been blessed by the gods of luck for receiving this chain letter, if you forward this to 10 friends within the next 7 days you will win….”
Nick: “The game… What craziness is this?”
Arthur: “Hah! You just lost it.”
I haven’t read the back-comments, but has anyone else noticed the purple sections on Nicodemus? I’m pretty sure in modern times he’s completely red. Maybe dragon colors reflect their temperament, and he turned completely red when he went evil? Particularly as Arthur’s armor is purple as well…
See here, nic is a very purply dragon.

They’ve always been there as far as I can tell, but we see his front a lot more when he is with Alex and all the purple is on his back.
Ha! That’s great …
