Page 2104…
SAD Monday…
(see? I read your comments)
🙂
Hope you all enjoy this week’s pages.
I wanted to give a SPECIAL shout out to my friends David Wise and Audry Taylor!
When Tracy took over on the art side… I still had over 200 pages left to write. The final chapter.
I had it plotted out, of course, but did NOT have the time (with the Animal Crackers movie taking up all of my time) to write it.
So, David and Audry (Audry was the genius who recommended I take Dreamland and put it online 11 years ago) offered to help me out.
A few extensive phone calls later… and they gave me a first draft of the first 50 pages. They were wonderful.
I was able to take them and rework some minor things and send it off to Tracy to begin art.
This has been going on for about 10 months, and last week, I finally wrote my last page of Dreamland thanks to them.
So, thank you David and Audry. Thank you for encouraging me to pursue Dreamland and for helping me finish it.
You’re true friends.
Scott
Oh.
Pipes have gone transparent. Nothing left to transfer 🙁
And so passes Nicodemus the Dragon, regent of Dreamland. Long may his tale be remembered for both his service and his treachery, but above all his love for his land.
Not to be a nitpick, but wasn’t Nicodemus laying on his stomach just a panel ago?
Yeah it made me think he survived it, and is raising from his chair “So, eh, I thought i would be dead by now…”
Something is lifting him; notice his tail hanging down? It isn’t (yet) clear to me what’s donig the work. His wings are hanging limply. The limbs attached to the tubes are also hanging, so the tubes aren’t lifting him either.
Yes. Tracy had done this page and it looked like he was sleeping. So I asked her to redo the page to make it seem like he “died on his throne”.
Something that looked a bit more regal… but also show he was truly dead.
So, my fault. Not Tracy’s.
End of the line for Nic,but there’ll always be someone else to take his place…!
So all that’;s left is the fallout. The whatever happened to Epilogue mintage…
Bye Nic….
HOKAY! SO! Shawarma?
That’s your answer to everything, Tony. 😛
I really like it. It does give him a certain dignity in death.
I have been wondering, will this final volume be available for the fans to own as well?
As a dwagon, I gonna have to say I think would have been better if Nic had died laying on tummy in a proper dragonly pose. This is the very first Dreamland panel ever that I suggest might be re-done, because yeah, it confused me at first as to exactly what position he’s in. He was laying down, now sitting on back? That didn’t make sense.
Except for that, is good interlude page concept.
Yes. I’ll do one last kickstarter
Noted. Thank you, sir/madame dragon.
Seems to be an example of the “Redemption Equals Death” trope.
You could say it’s an artist’s rendering of the event after the fact. Maybe make it look painted.
Congrats on finishing writing Dreamland Scott, what a story this has been!
Oscillating between, ‘Yay, the last page written!’ and ‘Oh no, please no, not the last page ever!’
Wondering what the wraiths were planning and doing all the while, too. Dan’s “real” body is still pretty much defenseless. One calculated strike from the shadows…
He’s NOT dead! He’s just pining for the fjords….
I think he’s actually laying on some of those stalagmites, and we’re seeing his tail draped hanging over one into the lower foreground.
Well done, Scott!
Bittersweet!
Hear, hear!
