I am really excited about this week’s update: new Pages 20 & 21! In the past, the two page spreads were reduced to fit into the page viewer. As such, they lost the punch that they were intended to deliver… until now! Webmaster Mike finally fixed the problem. Now on this week’s update–and all of the previous two page spreads–simply click on the text below and the page will come up full sized with all the impact that was intended. This should improve your reading experience. Enjoy!
I’ll be a guest this Saturday September 18th at the Cincinnati Comics Expo. It’s a brand new show, one day only, and the guest list is packed full of people I know and love. I hope you come on out to see me if you live in the area. I’ll have with me all the brand new Dreamer merchandise: buttons, phone charms, magnets, dress up dolls, and stickers! I also will have a new set of prints with me, featuring some beloved super hero characters.
Speaking of conventions, is anyone planning on being at Ohayocon, Columbus Ohio’s anime convention this January? I’d love to attend the show this year. If you’d like to see me there, please visit the forum and request me as a guest! Just drop a quick note with my name and a link to the Dreamer and tell them you’d love to see me there. Thanks!!
VOTE this week to see the piece I made for the Cincinnati Comics Expo to be sold at the benefit auction at the show. We were asked to do Superman in Cincinnati pieces. This was fun to draw!
haha this was a great update! I loved the dialogue – you must see everything from up here (more or less the quote, I think ^_^).
I also love how you can see the two page spread now as it was meant to be seen! I think by being able to view the larger view of the page you can really see and appreciate how much effort goes into those one scene two pagers!
As always I cannot wait for next week!
Yay! New page! :)
Really cool! It definitely makes it a lot more amazing. I love all the detail you put into the background!
wow!! all your updates are great but this is utterly fantastic!!! :D
I love love LOVE the new pages – especially how it was designed so it could enlarge like that and we could see all the detail!
Can’t wait for more!
This? Is amazing. All those little background details – it’s wonderful.
Apart from that, I’m quite worried for our friends in the barn now… well, let’s hope that the General is just reaaaaally good at randomly making the most uncomfortable smalltalk ever.
This was wonderfully beautiful! I loved it! You do such a wonderful job Lora, how can we thank you enough for the gorgeous work you do? @Rose, I just realized that you have a point! Let us hope that they get out of the barn safely! As usual, I cannot wait until next week!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
Could that drummer boy get any cuter!? :< I don't think so!
I really liked the dog in this piece. Cute enough to notice but not distracting. XD There’s so much to like about this page. Can I get some of that pastry? And Mike for the WIN on viewing it in full glory. Rainbow X2!
Have fun at CCE!
Howe is so hot in his dark way…
Is it bad that I’m paying more attention to the pastries than the people?
If only I can go back 300+ years into the past just to steal a few bites.
Maybe it’s just me, but General Howe seems pretty interested in the lovely lady serving him wine. Would this be how Yvette got that “interesting last name” I wonder? ;)
Anyway! Great page! I love all the details!
This functionality has been added to all the previous double page spreads too, so if you want to to check out the older ones, they’re updated too :)
Thanks, Mike!!
Such a great page. I love love love how the background. The flirting, the dog, the drummer boy. Can’t wait until next week!
This was a gorgeous update!
Slaves make me sad. But I’m glad you don’t pretend they didn’t exist.
Beautiful pages! I like how so much is going on, that gives it a lot of depth (Which you don’t need me to tell you about, ha ha). Those clouds look a little bit angry and foreboding.
@Tina: I drew drummer boys earlier this issue and fell in love. I think every army scene from here on out will contain at least one!
@Lyssy: Nice theory!
@Ariane: Very sad, but dishonest if we whitewash history and pretend the past wasn’t what it was.
Thanks for all the kind words, everyone! So glad you all enjoyed the update! <3
Wow, that is one gorgeous spread. I love (and always have) the amount of details you pour into each and every page of your work. This really came out beautifully!
I was actually trying to pick out the escaping party in the background. I love the two soldiers flirting with the girls at the end of the veranda there. I’m sure they’re egging it on too.
Super cool!
I have only one thing to say about this page: WOW! Stunning!
Wow, Lora! I think you’ve outdone yourself! The detail is AMAZING! And the colors? Fantastic. I particularly like the wine pouring into the glass (you really captured the movement) and the storm clouds. Very nice touch there. Bravo!
Okay, Superman using his powers to catch a home run is so cheating…
Well I gotta say, the art on this two page spread actually seems better than on the one-pages. Howe’s grating as ever, like a less evil less ugly Voldemort, and I can’t help but think that little old lady is up to something else other than what she’s already up to…
I love the new two-page spread look, its awesome. All I can think about the contents is uh-oh…
Lora, it was great getting to meet you at the Cincinnati Comic Expo today! Did you ever get down to meet the Archie comics guy? I was pretty impressed with the show’s turnout and was very honored to meet you. The first thing I did when I got home was re-read the graphic novel I got from you — thanks again for coming to town!
@Nikki: No, I didn’t. :( It was such a busy show! I guess I can’t complain about that. So glad you enjoyed the book all over again! It was wonderful to meet you.
Love. This. <3 Will you post it on dA so I can fav it…? haha ;P
Everything just creates this intense atmosphere, it's amazing! Though I also couldn't help but laugh when I saw what looks like soldiers flirting with the Murray girls, lol XD
