I do hope the surprise is NOT Felicity (at least at this point)… the logistics prevent that, they are somewhere deep under the ocean and Felicity is high above the ground playing pirate with Kiwi & Paddington.
Ooh, right. Hm. Maybe those things aren’t happening simultaneously and we were meant to think that they… “ARR”? (Okay, lame pirate joke quota fulfilled.)
Also, i like where this is going. Childhood friends reuniting after years and years. I mean, the letters were one thing but they’re impersonal. this’ll be face to face. quite excited.
On the one hand, I don’t think it could possibly be Felicity (or maybe that was their goal, but they couldn’t find her in time)…but on the other hand, I don’t want to see Nicole upset by a(nother) failed attempt to reunite with her childhood friend.
The tension is crazy! ๐ Glad this isn’t a Friday page!!
Well, I already surmised that time runs differently in Dreamland. I wouldn’t be surprised if one night sleep on our plane of existez, is several days on the Dreamland side.
Heck! We seem to dream only for minutes at the time, but I had experiences that took hours, if not days, in my dreams.
as I stated, time on the dreamland side runs differently, so it’s not wholly inconceivable that the ship already landed on sea, and Alex went up to get Felicity.
If not, it could be careful prepared gift from Felicity. Flowers, a longer letter.. or maybe even a plush-toy Feli (not likely, but hey.. ๐ )
No surprises so far, #5, 11,008 votes. #4’s getting up as well, 19,194 votes. It’s not twice our score as it used to be, but closing this gap would take us a bit of time.
Loving all the characters being introduced, too. “Holy crap she’s way out of Alex’s league” has to be one of my favourite lines to date! ๐ I love how shy Nastajia is, too – most unlike her usual self. But then I suppose she IS meeting not only the rightful king of Dreamland but the twin brother of her beloved… AND the strategist whose plans helped take down Nicodemus! Daniel must be a bit of a legend to her, all things considered…
Hm… question and something that I been noticing. With your mermaid tails, do you have any joints in the ‘flippers’ of the tail? While the ‘leg’ part looks fine and has a lot of nice motion to it, the flippers looks stiff as if only the ankle part moves… so there’s no ‘push’ against the water as they swim, like there not moving at all yet the rest shows such movement. As one 3D artist to another… I’d like to know the rigging for the tail and if it has any joints to the flippers to allow the fins to bend to show movement rather then being stiff?
Re: new vote incentive
Do all of those guys w/ brown helmets have spears sticking out of their heads? Is that a feature of their armor so they can head butt ppl with pointy ends?
LOL!
One of the problems of showing you the details.
For some reason… a LOT of these guys got speared through the head (just too close to the next guy).
When I could…I’d paint it out. But with so many characters on screen…I wasn’;t able to show the details when positioning.
SO I wouldn’t see until the renders were done.
FIRST! Is it possible? Can I be?
I hope this surprise is what I think it is…and if it is, I will take back every evil thought I have ever had about Nivene…!
Alex must of been gone for a very long time if what about to happen happens.
No one probably is expecting something different from what is bound to happen ๐
This will be one heck of a week ๐
Great lighting in the third panel.
Blushed princess… priceless ๐

Ooh, right. Hm. Maybe those things aren’t actually happening simultaneously and we were just meant to assume that they were?

I sense a tearful reunion in the wake. I’m already tearing up just thinking of it. ๐

Cool Tom Baker pic. :0)
Oh, your Tom Baker is *quite* the awesome. ๐ He’s my idea of the Doctor, also.
the question is: would it work? I’d hate for Nastajia to come back w/ only Alex in tow to tell of why the quest to get Felicity didn’t work =(
Here it comes ๐
Maybe the Pirates have become Merfolky?
Uh, oh… I feel an ‘Awwwwwwwww’ moment coming up. :’-}
….and the cat came back, the very next day…. Izza kitty! ๐
I certainly hope Alex remembered to bring a mermaid/merman with him to get Felicity her tail. Otherwise he’d have to….
….
On second thought, if he can pass the magic along himself, he doesn’t need anyone there with him. (yeah, I know, I know)

If this is what I (and everyone else) thinks it is, I just want to say: called it! ๐
(No seriously, go check the comments on the page where the Alex asks the pool to view the pond near his house, I totally called it ๐ )
Who are you calling “little one”?
You just keep getting more and more awesome, Scott. ^_^ Great work!
And the fourth, I swear Scott just keeps pushing the bar with every page. ^_^
Technically… catfish!
Grab your tissues. Here it comes.
Well, considering how old she is, I think Niviene has a right to call most people “little one.” ๐
Surprise??? oooohhh…. *jumping up&down in seat* You mean?? Nooooh….
.
.
*muffling something*.
.
.AAAAH!!! I have to..sorry
*deep breath*
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

ah but, what is Scott is trying to get us to warm up to her!! k that was a lame comment…..
like mine….
Uh. The inevitable. TWC.

Please, VOTE! It’s absolutely cholesterol free!
Hmm.. plus, didn’t playing pirates end in seeing merfolk..? Unless my memory is failing me…!
please let it be who i think it is.
Yes, yes? And it is…?
*blinks*
You painted 4?
^_^
Mr. Sava, I think I kind of want to hug you right now.
Ohhhhh, here it comes! *supresses a squee*
It has to be Felicity. Niviene wouldn’t tease her (or us) with anything else, right? Right?
Fantastic picture of Tom Baker’s Doctor.

There is a bit of a history of disappointment on this issue. Remember when Nicole tried wearing the sword necklace to sleep? Be ready for anything.

*studies a recipe for Guimauve ร la Rose et au Chocolat as he waits for the render*
I agree on both accounts. ๐
Mine too. And it was abundantly clear from the beginning of David Tennants tenure that hรฉ also was a big fan of Tom Baker’s absolutely zane Doctor.
Chris did an admirable job, but missed that bit of lingering insanity that Tom introduced and David worked-out to an even somewhat scary degree.
Aand, Tom is my hero, as is my gramma’ who knit me an original 3m scarf in exรกctly the right colors! ๐
my question is just where is all this light coming from, like Dan dropped the flashlight…
LOL!

Render is done.
Getting kids off to school…then putting page together.
Will be up within an hour.
Ooo…can I come eat over at your place!? ๐
Gosh they grow up fast…how old were the boys when you started this?
They weren’t born when I started.
They’re 9 now.
