Vivienne comes to Blaise’s rescue as he wilts under Cienan’s interrogation on Chapter 6, Page 17. Opera houses in this era were hugely ornate affairs, and Sherbourg’s is no exception. To see Brittany’s fabulous drawing of the grand stair, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Diane got all the bookmarks into the Almanac. I’m currently going through and adding in Almanac Reference links to the journal entry for each of the pages. It’s slow going, and I’ve gotten through Chapter 1. I’ll try to have this done by our Wednesday update.
I want to wonder why they aren’t tipped off by her blue hair and bluish-white skin, but I suspect the official explanation is “eh, don’t worry about it too much. Explaining it, or coming up with a side-story where Snow changes her skin color, would be weird and take time away from the actual story.”
Snow-by-Night’s hair is hidden by her hood, and a lot of the colonists are pale in the northern climes of Aradie. Also, it’s night and the oil lamps don’t produce that much light. The panels are colored brighter than what they would be in reality so that the viewer can see what is going on. We could change Snow’s skin color but we wanted her to be recognizable to the viewer. As you said, it would be weird and take time I didn’t want to spend.
“Blanche Neige”. Yeah, very subtle, Blaise.
Smooth… like sandpaper… C;
Snow’s expression of near-panic in the third panel is well done!
