First, a big shout out to all the guest artists who contributed! Alan Evans, Trevor Mueller, Andrew Chandler and Joanne Renaud. I hope you enjoyed their pieces–it was much better than radio silence these past three weeks.
But… we’re back! Issue #10 kicks off now!
I appreciate the patience in between issues. I think it works better this way– to break for a few weeks between issues instead of missing updates here and there as we go along. I’ve been able to work ahead a little bit, and I also got some freelance work done which is always nice for the checking account.
Remember the caption contest we did for Alan Evans’ Dreamer Trek piece? I put a poll up with the finalists! Click here to VOTE for your favorite and we’ll announce the winner next Friday.
Want to know who wrote that letter Alan had at the end of issue #1? VOTE find the answer, from Page #1 which goes live next Friday!
The only thing that popped into my head?
“Mm. Tea.”
XD
Alan is pretty, as always. And I’ve already voted! Good luck to everyone!
I am can’t wait to see Bea’s acting! I can’t help but wonder who they’re going to visit but I’m guessing that there’s going to be tea involved =D
Great cover!! can’t wait to find out what happens next!
I love the cover! The pattern on the teacups is so pretty! And the VI looks awesome, by the way.
The Dreamer’s hit double digits! Isn’t this exciting? I know *I* am excited for the whole thing. Too bad mid-terms are coming up soon. D8
Hmm , I believe I know what is going to happen based on knowing the American Revolution.. There was a legend about some woman who… That is all I am going to say! Great cover, very beautiful! I love the reflection of Alan in the teacup, ha ha, he looks distressed!
The cover is so sweet it makes my teeth hurt. XD Alan looks like he’d rather be back in his company than getting on with this (presumably) tea and pastry. The pastry does look good though.
I think this is my favorite cover yet! :D
I love the cover it looks awesome!
@Ginny: Tea is a good guess. XD
@Hannah: Thanks for noticing the pattern on the china! I was so proud of that. ^^; I painted it all myself, no stealing it from somewhere else.
@Deb: To be honest, I was pretty excited that this is Issue #10. Then again, I remember being equally excited to turn 10 for that very reason: double digits! Don’t worry about mid-terms, The Dreamer only takes about 10 minutes of your time every Friday and you need a break from studying every now and again!
@Amber: You guessed right. shhh! This issue is a lot of fun, just wait!
@Albone: I’ll bet it’s been months since Al had a good cup of tea, you’d think he’d be more excited. Then again, once upon a time he helped throw a whole lot of it into the bay. :)
@Lis & Rae: Thank you! I love the way it turned out.
The way to a man’s heart, indeed! =) Beautiful cover!
Oooooo, I’m excited to see what happens :D
Blatant Alice in Wonderland joke to the set, please…. :-P
Ooooo, the VI has me thinking awkward questions will soon be arising. Well, either that or Bea is about to have a crash course in life.
@Amber: Good job guessing! Hopefully Lora will fill us in on the real legend sometime. :-)
This cover is amazing! I’m going to go and make my own cup of tea now :)
I am also excited to find out what this legend is… hmmm… Nope, I can’t think of what it could possibly be. Can’t wait for next week!
Oh, and Lora. The commisions that you drew for Hannah and I were delivered safely all the way to Singapore. AND THEY ARE SO PRETTY. I would just like to thank you tons for this, I love the drawings so much and I can’t stop staring at them. You did a spectacular job with them. :D
I just found your web comic and I’m already hooked. I just burned through 6 issues in one sitting.
I can’t wait to see how the story progresses.
hey- your art is really starting to mature! the intricate brushwork and layout remind me of audrey flack’s work- keep on posting!
Heheh… Tea! Can’t wait until next week!
Is it just me, or is TWC coming up as an error 404?
@Brent: Yup! You’ll get all the detail in due time.
@Eibhlaan: So glad they made it over there okay! (And that you loved them!)
@Katie: Welcome!!
@Codeman: thank you! When I started Issue #1, I had only done six consecutive comic pages before. So figuring out how to do comics has largely happened here in The Dreamer, and I think you can see the progression from the first issue till now! Glad to know other people can see the improvement, too.
@Wynne: I noticed that too. Hopefully it’ll be up again soon.
i just found out about this today and i love it!! :D
i’m so excited for the next update :)
I love how frilly and girlie this issue cover is! It’s absolutely wonderful, Lora, as usual. : )
I can hardly wait for the next update!!
I remember that legend! If that’s what this is going to be, this next issue is going to be pretty cool. I’m excited to see how Bea acts ;)
Fantastic cover.
This has to be my favorite cover yet! It’s almost what every girl would dream of (if they lived in the 18th century that is!).
Hehe, glad I’m only going to get my yearly dose of Wagner on Saturday and not Friday. :D Can’t wait for adventure… costumed adventure, that is.
