Snow by Night

Almanac Reference: Tomahawk

What’s better then a knife? A tomahawk! See it in action in Page 17 of Chapter 5. I think tomahawks might be the almanac entry for this Friday. To see Brittany’s pencils for this page (which includes her commentary), please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

Don’t forget that we are having a holiday sale on the Snow by Night store. Buy three prints and get the fourth free, or buy a bag of buttons for only $8. Catch it in time for the holidays.

Jassart and Blaise’s efforts to give Laurent the slip come to naught, as the gambler and his thugs confront the boys on Page 15 of Chapter 5. This doesn’t look like it will be solved peacefully. To see Brittany’s pencils for this page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comcis.

If you haven’t had a chance to do so yet, please check out the Snow by Night store. We have some sales coming up after Thanksgiving so stay tuned.

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!

This week’s almanac entry is the Governor General of Aradie. This is the position the Vivienne’s father holds (and will continue to hold thanks to Vivienne). The position is influential in the colonies but most governors see it as a stepping stone to bigger and better things back in Japethe. I still haven’t have a chance to sort through the pictures yet. I’ll try to have that done before Thanksgiving next week.

Almanac Reference: Gloire, Governor General

Losing by Winning concludes today with Page 8 of the vignette. Vivienne learns there are consequences to her words and her family’s future is solely in the new world. My thanks to Sunny for a fantastic job on this vignette. She stepped up and got all the pages done a month ahead of schedule all while dealing with Sandy and its aftermath. Thank you so much, Sunny.

To see her sketch for this page, vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

In other news, I’m back from Florida and getting caught up on everything that stacked up while I was gone. I’m going to try to have the convention photos from Nekocon up on our Facebook page this Friday. Brittany already uploaded some photos from Anime USA. I’ll see if she has any more.

Vivienne and Marguerite square off for the final round of the marksmanship competition in Page 7 of Losing by Winning. Who will win the prized pistols from Aileon? Who will gain the upper hand in their rivalry? Inquiring minds want to know! To see Sunny’s sketch for the page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comic.

My thanks to everyone who came by the table at Anime USA and met Brittany and Diane. This was Diane’s first time running the table, and she came in lolita cosplay on Saturday. Trial by fire, eh Diane?

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.
