Snow by Night

After an adventurous weekend at Animazement, we’re back for more hiatus sneak peeks! Today we present Julie’s sketch for Mathilde. On Wednesday we will be posting Naty’s colors, and per the usual pattern of our hiatus posting, we’ll post headshots on Friday – so make sure to come back if you’re interested in seeing the redesign process!

To any new readers from the con: welcome! Our site is a bit hectic right now, since we’re on (semi) hiatus between Chapter 8 and Chapter 9. We will return to posting pages on June 30, but until then we’re posting previews of art that’s on its way to you! Start reading the comic here, or visit the Table of Contents to find a page.

After a long and perilous journey, Eric and I have arrived at Animazement for the weekend! We had to trek past 5 car accidents, 4 tornado warnings, 3 flash flood warnings, 2 assumed-to-be-drunk drivers, and a partridge in a pear tree. Please swing by and say hello if you’re attending; we may not survive the journey home.

To finish up the week of Snow-by-Night’s redesign previews, check out Julie’s headshots of Snow-by-Night here. Next week we’ll bring you some sneak peeks of Mathilde!

Tonight’s hiatus update is the second preview of Snow-by-Night’s redesign, showcasing Naty’s colors. The team spent a lot of time on this color choice, and I really think it shows. Even if Snow-by-Night doesn’t look impressed in this shot. Let us know what you think in the comments!

I’m very excited to bring you the next of our hiatus previews! Take a look at this lovely sketch of Julie’s redesign for Snow-by-Night.

As you may recall from Chapter 6, Snow-by-Night’s clothes are made of snow and ice, just like she is. In the story thus far, she’s had only one reason to change her appearance, to go among the humans in disguise. Some of the comments have already guessed quite close to the mark on the reason for this new change…

But you’ll have to wait for our return from hiatus on June 30th to find out in the comic!

Today’s hiatus update includes some expressive headshots of Jassart by Julie. As was mentioned in some of the comments, yes, Jassart is now marked by fire. Sticking around in an alchemist’s exploding house has its downsides.

Starting on Monday of next week, we’ll bring you Snow-by-Night’s redesign in the same pattern as Blaise and Jassart: sketch, followed by colors, followed by headshots. Her new look is my personal favorite so far! Julie and Naty did an amazing job.

Diane here again to bring you Naty’s colors for Jassart’s redesign. Those clothes look like a bit of an upgrade… and show that Jassart has also discarded the matching sashes of his crew.

On Friday we’ll be posting some headshots of Jassart by Julie, and then next week we’ll present Snow-by-Night’s redesign!

Hello, everyone, web-alchemist Diane here reporting in for duty while Eric’s away! Continuing our previews of Julie and Naty’s redesign for the main cast, today I bring you a sketch of Jassart. You may notice the fire has left its mark.

(Is this pose ‘Phantom of the Opera’ enough for you, Dargor?)

I’ve also rearranged the preview pages so that now each image is on a separate page connected to the Journal post, so you can continue to leave comments on the previews until we come off hiatus.

As with last week’s sneak peek, I’ll post Naty’s colors for Jassart on Wednesday and some headshots by Julie on Friday. Next week, you get to see our titular character’s redesign! I know I’ve been missing Snow-by-Night. Do you think the fire’s changed her, too?

Our third preview of Blaise are his headshots. Julie is great with expressions and she captured the bewildered Blaise nicely.

I’m out of town next week so Diane will be handling all the updates for me while I’m gone. She’ll be bringing you the glory that is post-fire Jassart!
