I’m pleased to announce that Snow by Night will be attending Annapolis Comic Con. This is a smaller, local convention in Annapolis, Maryland. Come for the comics; stay for the crabs! Or oysters. Oysters are delicious too and have a small guest role in the comic.

October 5th, 2014Blaise emerges from the icy river only to face a fully manifested manitou on Chapter 9 Page 22. Fortunately for Blaise, Paws makes his reappearance. Gekgekgek! If you missed our Almanac entry about foxes, they make a sound called gekkering when they fight. Listen to what it sounds like here.
I hope you like the design for Chugan as a fully manifested spirit. Julie drew from Huron and Iroquois artwork. He won’t be the only one in this art style. To see Paws-Tread-LIghtly in his manifested form, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Almanac – Crow
October 2nd, 2014This week’s Almanac entry is the Crow. With Chugan being center-stage, it seemed like a good time to talk about crows and their spiritual meaning. This one took a good bit of research as crows have different meaning to the different tribes. Also, a lot of my research results kept conflating ravens and crows, which are very different animals. In the end, I pick and chose which legends to use for what suited my needs with this story.

September 30th, 2014Blaise makes a run for Snow’s eyes before Chugan notices them on Chapter 9 Page 21. He might have the eyes for now, but can he hold onto them? To see Chugan from when fully manifested in the mortal world, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Also, please check out Sword of the Bright Lady. It’s written by Snow-by-Night-fan M.C. Planck and a good read.

September 28th, 2014Foolish Blaise is foolish on Chapter 9 Page 20. Now, he’s all alone in the dark with a manitou tormenting him. CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW! To see what Blaise does next, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Almanac – Fox
September 25th, 2014We’ve been seeing a lot of Paws-Tread-Lightly in this chapter so I wanted to take some time to talk about foxes in the Almanac. There’s the usual stuff about what foxes are, but I also added in some notes about what the natives believe foxes represent as animal spirits. Paws-Tread-Lightly is a manitou and conforms to those beliefs. For example, Blaise had to ask for help and he offered Paws a gift. He didn’t realize that is what he was doing. But that’s Blaise standard mode of operation.

I’m starting to plan out a Kickstarter campaign for the publication of Volume 2 (Chapters 5 through 8). Any recommendations for what you would like to see as rewards?
