Page 756…
I really like the way this page came out.
I hope you guys do too.
I can only imagine what it must be like for Nastajia to feel Alexander slip away again.
Thanks again all for the well wishes for Donna yesterday. She had a great birthday.
I hope you enjoyed our time in Dreamland. We’ll be in the real world for a bit. So be ready for nerdy talk, brotherly fights, and skeptical med students for the meanwhile.
🙂
Thanks again.
Scott
Hello Scott!
I love the many many pages you have done over the years, and I look forward to all the rest! I think perhaps the only thing I would have changed would be the last panel – split it in half and have the lower half zoomed in on Nastajia’s eyes with a bit of a tear saying “please……”
It’s so awesome to see them together – may they never be parted for long.
Nah. Nastajia may be in love with Alexander, but she’s still one tough elf princess. I do really like how you made her hand close slightly as Alex faded out.
Hrmmm, if I had a hot elf prince to go to sleep to, I might beg ’em to put me in a coma, ;P
I wonder how much Alex is gonna tell his brother and his brother’s post-predicted GF…
“Yeah, I’ve got a hot elf girl and I think she cares about me a lot…”
I know it is hard to design new characters, but somehow I expect to see one within the next two months. I don’t know why…I just do.
And fase out… Poignant.
Noooo… not the real world again. Just kidding. I like this page, It’s a bit different set up than the pages you have been doing lately.
Poor Nastajia.
Awwww… ‘sniff’, ‘sniff’, (‘scuse me a moment…), {takes out hanky} [‘HONK!’]… Wonderful page, Scott! And at least Alex knows where to go when he comes back! Okay, let’s bring on the real world arguing!
Yep, If I was alex, it would be a long day waiting to go back to sleep…. I think I’m just as in love with Nastajia as Alex is, but then I think we’ve know her longer than he has….
Heh, my birthday was yesterday too. Yay for birthdays! *cheers* ^_^
I had figured it was coming soon… man…. Poor Alex, having to go back to the real world…
Great job, really.
Though now I can’t help but thinking something’s gonna happen to Alex that’ll stop him from going back right away… I’ve really got to work on that pessimism.
Awesome, awesome page! You really feel the drama, though I do feel bad for Alex. Daniel and Nicole will probably call him an idiot for falling in love, and how will he handle a real world girlfriend? The truth would certainly put him in a psyche ward.
Nice scene. I’m going to mention this one again, I think your new software and/or hardware needs a little tweaking. David C made some comments and going back to page 708 I agree some. Nastajia’s shoulder pads have moved inwards. Her hair color is a bit off (lighting effects in this case, several other colors are “off”, but I like the lighting) and while I don’t agree that she is “bustier”, I think she is a bit saggier. Her expressions seem to be a bit off (or just not quite the same rendering as the old setup). I know her hair would obscure her face/eyes some, but now it seems like it is doing it far too much.
I think you are having some changes in rendering with the new stuff, but it is still good.
I dunno about rendering. The bright daylight might make colors a bit washed out in comparison.
However, I say darn you Windscythe! Now I’m gonna be worried for his whole day (meaning days – weeks? for me) that it’ll be okay and he’ll be able to get back here. 😛
yeah , kinda of hard on the relationship, that is.
what you going to do?
I like how hand closed through his as he’s disappearing
not only dose it look cool but it’s also a poignant moment
Ah… That’s true love, the one which is almost inexistent in real life. Who could find such a lover like Nastajia? Well, a lucky person indeed.
We all just would like to live such a fantasy history, that’s why we are reading this great comics: To bring back to ourselves our childhood’s imagination.
It’ll be months until we’re back in Dreamland I bet, this is one powerful way to end it. I am so spoiled, I just read the whole series in 2 days, waiting will stink.
At least he won’t be falling to his death when he comes back this time.
Again, this post is way after the comic for this day was posted, but wanted to add my 2 cents anyway.
Nastajia’s shoulderpads are most definitely closer together, and I don’t think it’s just because of the position of her arms.
Take a look at pages 158-160 and 176 for examples of this.
As for her “bust”, the shape is the same, but it is a bit lower lately but ONLY, I think, because we’ve been seeing her in positions where she’s slouching or hunched over for various reasons.
I think a lot of this is more noticeable because the lighting is so vastly superior and the contrast is far higher (again, refer to the pages I listed above for examples).
Well, whatever the differences may be, I for one think Nastajia looks absolutely gorgeous in the last pane; the best she has ever looked (thus far). Kudos!

Where did Kiwi go? What did I miss in my marathon reading??
*headdesk* now I need to go back and read..
Kiwi is with Paddington, helping monitor Felicity’s status, keeping him from tripping over something, and generally backseat driving.
im a sucker for romance, lost causes, and heroic deaths.
so yeah i’m getting some emotional impact here….
-Back shoulder walking, perhaps?
“I must go. My people need me.”
Or maybe that’s what he should say when he’s going to sleep in our world?
