Snow by Night

Almanac Reference: Peste

Today we bring you Chapter 5 Page 28, a lighthearted ending to that serious, dangerous scene. I love this ongoing gag with Laurent ending up stuck to walls all the time. Serves you right, you rook!

Eric and Brittany are still on their way back from Ohayocon, which was a huge success! Eric will have to tell you all about it once he’s settled back in. Hopefully we’ll spy some new readers joining us from the con!

Don’t forget to check out the details of our ongoing Art Contest, which offers cash prizes for the top 8 finalists. If you have any questions or concerns, drop us a line at artcontest@snowbynight.com.

Finally, if you’d like to see Brittany’s pencils for this page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

Hello, everyone! Diane here, covering for Eric and Brittany while they’re making the long trek through awful traffic towards our next convention. Ohayocon is the shining light at the end of the tunnel to celebrate once they arrive around midnight! If you’re attending, please stop by and pester them both for me. They need a good pesterin’.

Instead of the typical Almanac update, tonight we bring you news of our first official Art Contest! Check out all the details here.

We’re offering cash prizes for the top 8 finalists, and submissions are open until March 1st. Even if you aren’t interested or able to enter, please tell your friends! Any medium is welcome, so long as we can clearly tell the piece of art has to do with Snow by Night. Voting will open on March 4th and will be decided by popular vote throughout the week, eliminating the pool of entries until we reach our top finalist. (There can be only one! /cue dramatic music)

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them here or send us an e-mail at artcontest@snowbynight.com. Best of luck to you all! I can’t wait to see what comes our way!

Almanac Reference: Pike it

What do you do about a manitou who wants to hurt you? Blaise and Jassart have very different answers in Chapter 5 Page 27. To see the pencils for this page, please vote for Snow by Night. Only one more page to go in Chapter 5! Oh, a small errata. Naty updated panel 1 for page 26 to include the wind and snow effects.

Brittany and I are off to Ohayocon this weekend. Please come by and see us if you’re attending. We always love meeting our readers. Diane will be handling the update this Friday. She will be making an announcement of interest to any artists out there. Check back on Friday to hear all of the news. Trust me. It will be worth it.

Snow-by-Night gives the boys an ultimatum in Chapter 5 Page 26. To see Brittany’s inks for this page (she added her own commentary to panel 3), please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics. Also, Brittany and I will be headed to Ohayocon this week. We’ll have books, prints, and buttons. If you’re coming to the convention, please stop by and say hello. Finally, we have a pretty big announcement on Friday. It’s good news, and I’ll let Diane tell you all about it at the end of the week.

This week’s almanac entry is the 17th Century. More accurately, it’s an update to the historical timeline where I’m adding a lot of entries for the 17th century. Lots of wars in this century as the colonial powers go at each other. This won’t be the last update to the timeline. I’ll add to it as the story continues. One thing I really want to expand is the dates for important events with the native tribes. Lots of things are happening in Everique just like lots of things were happening in North America at this time as well.

We have a convention coming up soon. We’re venturing across the Appalachians to Columbus, Ohio on Jan. 18-20 for Ohayocon. Come by and see us if you can.

Blaise thinks it’s time to make a get away. See his recommendation on how to escape Laurent and the thugs on Page 18 of Chapter 5. To see Brittany’s pencils for this page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

Oh, we graduated off the wait list for Katsucon and will be attending the convention in February. This is the largest anime convention in the DC metropolitan area. We were there last year and had a great time.

Also, our good friends over at Tamuran have an Indiegogo (it’s like Kickstarter) campaign. Help support indie comics! Especially the incredibly talented art and storytelling of Eren and Chezhnian.

And we’re back to the main story! Naty is feeling much better so the colored pages are arriving again. Chapter 5 resumes with Page 14 wherein Blaise and Jassart make their break for it from the Harp & Trumpet. Over the roofs and through the alley, to escape Laurent, they go! To see Brittany’s pencils for this page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comic.

I also had the opportunity to go through all the pictures from Nekocon (and about a hundred pictures of my daughter). I really enjoyed Nekocon. It’s a great convention that is incredibly convenient with lots of hotels, food, parking, and awesome staff. Take a look at the Nekocon 2012 photo album on the Snow by Night Facebook page.

One last thing. We will have a second page this week on Wednesday. However, we will be skipping the Friday almanac entry in celebration of Thanksgiving. Happy Turkey Day everyone!

The pistols that Vivienne and Marguerite are vying for were made by the gunsmiths of Aileon. What is Aileon? Where is Aileon? These answers can be found in today’s Almanac entry. Aileon is an unusual country. It is the only country that does not have a great spirit because their spirit Dama (sometimes called Chance), vanished 50 years ago.

Diane and Brittany will be attending Anime USA and representing Snow by Night since I’m down in Florida with family. If you’re attending, come by and say hello and meet the spunky part of the Snow by Night team.
