Snow by Night

Hello everyone! Brittany and I are back from Ohayocon, where we met a lot of great webcomic fans and creators at the show. I’ll get a full con report (in photo album form) on Snow by Night’s Facebook page later this week. And great news! We sold all the copies of Chapter 1 that we brought to the convention. It’s a big milestone for us. I’m incredibly excited (and planning to increase the number of books that I bring to Katsucon).

Today we’re beginning  The Midnight Chalice. As you may remember, I had to use the vignette (Losing by Winning) for Chapter 5 in October and November to cover for artist illness. So to fill the gap in the schedule between Chapter 5 and Chapter 6, I’m using a bonus story by Ricky Bryant Jr. intended for the print of Volume 1 (chapters 1-4). Way, way back in Chapter 1, Blaise and Jassart are sitting in the Harp & Trumpet, enjoying punch when Blaise’s mug vanishes for a couple pages and then reappears. Where did the mug go? Why is is missing? Obviously the mug went off and had an adventure and that is the story of The Midnight Chalice! Enjoy it while it lasts, because it will not stay on the site forever.

Don’t forget our Art Contest! There are cash prizes for the top eight places. Also, to get a peek at page 2 of the Midnight Chalice, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comic.

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!

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.

Behold the Daughter of Winter in her wrath and tremble before the fury of the season! I do not envy you, Blaise and Jassart. Chapter 5 Page 25 was a page that was in my mind since I began Snow by Night. Brittany and Naty did a wonderful job bringing it to life. To see Brittany’s pencils for this page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

Almanac Reference: Arrête

Oh man. We’re living up to our motto again with “That took longer than I thought.” Network Solutions was being problematic and WordPress wasn’t responding. However, we’ve got it fixed (I think) and we’re back in business. More importantly, we have a new page! Yes, we’re back from our holiday break with Chapter 5 Page 24. We pick up the action with Snow-by-Night losing all patience with mortals. To see Brittany’s pencils for this page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
