The Dreamland Chronicles

We’re BACK!

Wow. That was a HECK of a long hiatus.

Thank you all for your patience and support during the month and a half off.

Lots of news today!

First off…HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sons Brendan and Logan!

They turned 7 today!

How time flies. Brendan is now up to my collar bone. Logan’s only an inch behind him too.

Seriously…they’re almost as tall as my MOM (she’s who my sister and I measured ourselves to first since she was the closest to our height).

Also…

My dad is out of the hospital and we had a great time watching the Super Bowl with him yesterday.

They removed part of his colon to get to all the cancer. But still some was found in his lymph nodes they removed.

So we all appreciate the prayers and thoughts. He’s doing great…but still a bit to go.

And…

We won the Webcomic List Awards’ for Best Non Traditional Art!

Check out the fun announcement that Wendy Wood did.

And thanks to everyone there. Including the other nominees.

A Softer World

Union of Heroes

and The Pure and Hidden Truth.

All of whom can be found in the link above.

It’s a true honor and I’m quite flattered to have won.

And finally…

We now have a Dreamland Chronicles FAN PAGE on Facebook!

I’ve already posted over 500 NEVER BEFORE SEEN art from the making of Dreamland.

So please join in…and say hi.

I’m giving some free XBOX GAMES CODES to members.

Ok…that’s it.

It’s great to be back. I’ve got a LOT of work to do to build up a buffer.

I actually have NOTHING for tomorrow. So I’ll be working hard all day.

Thank you all for waiting up for me.

The Dreamland Chronicles Wiki project…

December 28th, 2009 | by Scott Christian Sava

Posted In: Dreamland News, blog

So I had an idea.

Actually my buddy Kevin gave it to me by accident.

We were talking about the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe. Remember the comics that used to come out?

With the characters. Their wieght, height, dimensions, powers, back story, appearances, etc.?

Well…they can do that now with the Wiki sites.

With about 200 characters and places in Dreamland now…I was thinking it’d be fun to get a site up where we can add backgrounds and history to the world. Really flesh it out a bit.

And in the process…have some fun.

I know a lot of you are great storytellers. I’ve seen your fanfiction. It’s wonderful.

And this would be a way to reach into this world and we would establish some history, rules, and such.

What do you guys think?

Sound like fun?

If so…would you prefer we set something up on my site?

If so…I’d like to have it be by registration only. So not just any passerby could mess around with it.

Or do you think we should do it on Wikipedia?

I’m open to any and all suggestions.

Scott

UPDATE:

We have a wiki up here. Let’s see if it works.

First Book Charity Auction going on now!

December 13th, 2009 | by Scott Christian Sava

Posted In: Dreamland News

We’ve finally put all of the sketchcards up on Ebay!

I’m so thrilled to help promote this Literacy Program with my fellow comic book and animation artists.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to donate your talents to help promote literacy in helping First Book get books out to kids who can’t afford them.

It’s amazing what we can do (as artists) to make the world a better place. Just by donating some time to put pen, pencil, or marker to a simple sketch card.

We recieved almost 100 cards from some of the biggest names in comics and animation!

Artists like Tim Sale, Sergio Aragones, Frank Cho, Dean Yeagle, Joe Pekar, David Peterson, and many more.

Many of my fellow webcomic creators joined in as well. Look for Penny Arcade, Looking for Group, PVP, Girl Genius and a bunch more too!

Dreamland Chronicles Sketchcards

I’ve put each and every one of these cards up at only $1.

So ANYONE can afford these original sketches.

Every bit helps. So please tell your friends!

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO SEE THE EBAY AUCTIONS!

Thank you!

Hockey for the kids…

October 26th, 2009 | by Scott Christian Sava

Posted In: Dreamland News

Wow. We just had the BEST night last night.

Donna got the boys into a program called Get Out and Learn (G.O.A.L.) here in Nashville.

Get this. They provide hockey equipment and four weeks of lessons…for FREE.

The kids got helmets, skates, pads, pants, socks, mouth guards…the works. All given to them for free by the Nashville Predators.

Now…at the end of the 4 weeks….they give most of it back. But they got to keep the sticks (brand new and cut to their size Ovechkin CCM sticks) and jerseys.

This was great. They had a blast. Getting out each week and learning to skate, shoot, pass, and just have fun.

But the last day (last night) was just too much.

We found out that the Nashville Predators were having practice on the ice an hour before the kids went out.

We all got to hang out…and watch a professional hockey team play. In our own rink.

It was amazing.

One of the players, Jerred Smithson saw the boys (faces squished on the glass) and picked up one of the practice pucks with his stick and lifted it over the glass for Brendan.

He was floored. An official Predators Practice Puck. WOW.
