Hey all…
So…another end of a week!
Yay!
We’re back in Dreamland. So that’s cool…right?
I also wanted to thank the very nice person who sent me my first gift from the Amazon Wishlist.
I got this book…
Thanks so much!
I can’t wait to read it.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to find out WHO sent these things? Maybe I could get an address or something and send a sketch card or something?
That’d be cool. Right?
I really want to find a way to thank you all for your support.
You guys are just so great.
I am going to get the sketch cards up hopefully soon. Donna got the shipping and it looks like we can ship these suckers anywhere in the world for like $3. So that’s do-able!
Anyways. I hope you have a great weekend. And thanks again for everything.
Scott
So, last page was awesome. 😀 Also, I love this last panel of Kiwi. (Okay, mostly I’m glad to be back where I have easy ‘net access again)
Really nice lighting, especially on the first panel!
I’ll level with you Scott, . . . it wasn’t me that gave you the gift.
I’m sure that if everyone else who comments today says the same thing, you’ll be able to determine who it was by process of elimination.
Depending of who sent the gift, they may have included a gift note. If so, I believe that it prints on the packing slip, so you may want to check there.
On a totally separate note, it is amazing how the lighting effects have evolved over time as the strip has progressed. Is it improvements in software, improvements in technique, changes to models, or a bit of all of the above?
Thanks for all of the time and effort you put into Dreamland – while I mainly lurk I greatly enjoy the end results of your creativity.
I wonder if we’ll get to see what’s been going on with Felicity soon. If I remember right, she’s been in a coma for several months now.
even the undershirt on the armor is shiny? oh my 😮
I love the perspective in the second panel!
Redecorating…and Kiwi’s the supervisor! ^,^
So… I guess Kiwi watches a lot of HGTV, then. 😛 J/k
I can just see it now– a TV show starring the spunky little fairy, as she helps people with their home decorating problems. I’d watch that, actually.
I cant wait for the sketch cards to available … and i still vote for pirate teddy bears as a desktop graphic giveaway image.
I hate to gripe but I just have to say it… the black eyebrows on the blond fairy looks wrong. Looks like she colored her hair and forgot to lighten her eyebrows to match. Being a blond myself I can tell you my eyebrows are not black, but light brown/dark blond. Either that or she went wild with mascara…
But echo everyone else, the lighting is great! And the armor is so shiny… ooooh shiny…
AuroraMoon – LOL! I could see that as well, though I think it would be on TLC instead of HGTV and perhaps Paddington on Dancing with the Stars!
Good looking page, every panel has something noteworthy, well done.
And I have to say it. Kiwi’s hot. I guess I just like short chicks. With wings. That leave butterfly sparklie trails when they fly. Try and find THAT on eharmony, lol.
AH! I wish I would’ve commented! LOL I totally got this one right 😀 *happy dance* I also love decorating and Kiwi is probably my favorite character in this whole thing 🙂
hahaha!! That so does not surprise me that it’s Kiwi doing the re-decorationing. 😀
@auramoon & cndneh – I would so watch that show too!
Good Morning all!
There was no note that I saw on the packing slip.
For those of you who are interested in doing this…please send a note. Maybe include an email address?
Honestly…I’d like to send something back to anyone who does this.
If that’s OK with you all.
I just think it’s so nice. And I want to thank all of you who suggested/URGED me to do to this.
🙂
I love books.
I get the impression that Kiwi wouldn’t *watch* a home decorating show but I can see her presenting one. She strikes me as too opinionated, too active and too impatient, to sit through somebody else’s hour long opinion on how things should be done.
This page is really amazing, Scott. Superb lighting.
Horse hooves on a hardwood floor? No rugs? The floor looks to have a smooth, finished surface rather than rough, heavy timbers to avoid slipping.
🙂 Good morning to you, Alex. *YAWN*
rooms looks nice good decorating Kiwi!
Regarding Kiwi’s black eyebrows, that’s kind of necessary with her black “eyeliner.” If she had blonde eyebrows, they would be invisible.
I just figure sprites don’t follow human hair patterns. I mean she has permanently pink skin, for goodness sake!
A fitting end of this week. Nice job, Scott. But a question?
If you are going to BaltiCon in October, then what of DragonCon in September? That is just around corner from you in TN. Well, much closer than Baltimore is, anyway.
As for the gift, someone can buy it and have it shipped directly to the recipient, and no return addy other than the merchant will appear. I do this sometimes with family members, so I hope that someone steps up and lets you know that they were the gift-giver.
BTW, TDC has now slipped to 12th in the TopWebComic list, but fear not! A new month will be dawning shortly, and we can put Scott on top if EVERYONE votes. Counters get reset on the 1st of every month. Remember, tho’, it takes resolve to keep Scott there.
If you check back in the story, Kiwi has light eyebrows as a young fairy, but all of the others except Paddington have black or dark…including Alex. And you’re just noticing Kiwi’s?
Do y’all recall the comments about the necklace not lying flat on Alex’s chest in the recent real world scene?
Take a gander from page 35:

This may be closest perspective in the story thus far.
Hey Ironbandit…
Dragon Con is REALLY close. I’d love to go again. But honestly…there’s really no one from MY audience that seems to go. It seems like a much older crowd.
And…they shove the comic artists in a hotel 2 hotels down from everything else…and in the basement. I can’t say I was thrilled about that.
Oh hey! I’ve read that one! *points at depicted comic book* Picked it out at our library, it was really good. ^^ (Hard to find good comics at my library sometimes.) Do you know if a second one has come out yet? I’m really curious to read more.
Btw, I love how Kiwi’s sparkles are in the shape of butterflies. Tryna figure out how I never noticed that before. XD Keep up the awesome work on the comic, Scott!
Alex: “You’re redecorating the centaur tent?”
Kiwi: “Well the artist is adding new render elements into the comic, like the reflectivity on your armor and new particle effects for my wings! I’m helping them make the backgrounds more aesthetically pleasing!”
Paddington: “Hey, check it out! New bump maps!”
Felicity: “I have particle effect fur!”
Nastajia: “And I’m…glowing in the dark?”
were back!
were back!
WERE BACK!!!!!!
and Kiwi to!!!:P
@ Silverwolf LOL XD!
Wow, I never thought that Kiwi would redecorate, that’s really cool! I love the glow-stick purple armor as well *stares*. I want to see the rest of the characters now! I guess I’ll just have to wait it out :(.
See, I was wrong. It was Kiwi, not Nastajia. Oh well…. 🙁
I love how you put the reflections in Alex’s armor it help get you in to dreamland, I might have asked the exact same question to Kiwi if it were me. 🙂
Guys…thank you SO much for these books (I see some more were purchased).
I DO hope you guys please add your names and addresses in the gift notes.
Please. So I can thank you properly.
🙂
But Scott, accepting the gift honors the giver. Obviously the senders just want to do something nice because you already do Dreamland for them.
@Ironbandit… LOL… I did say I was blond!! 😀
3 more pages till 1337 (LEET)
Alex: “My armour… It’s…”
Kiwi: “Shiny? Yeah… Cool, isn’t it?”
Alex: “But how can something suddenly take on a shine…”
Kiwi: “Alex, I know that you live in a world without any visible magic, but consider this- Dreamland is MADE of the freaking stuff. You don’t ask questions when something bizarre happens that affects you so minimally. That way, we avoid the [whispers] plot holes [/whispers]”
Alex: “And anyway, how could Paddington exist? He’s made of sentient rock? How is that possible?”
Kiwi: “Don’t go there!”
Alex: “And you! Your wings are much too small to carry your bodymass, let alone mine as well…”
Kiwi: “Alex! Stop it!”
Alex: And what’s with the constant sparkles off you? Surely that takes a lot of energy, but I’ve never seen you eat… EVER!”
LOL @ Koturas – Dreamland is no place for logical thought!
Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog. 🙂 Cheers! Sandra. R.

aw. kiwi can finally live her dream of being an interior decorater!
23. She was only a whisky maker, but he loved her still.
My mom loves to decorate the house whenever she gets the chance. But Kiwi is kinda cute doing it her way. My mom and her would probably get into interior decorating arguments! 😀
