A Berry from the Sun Page 1
April 19th, 2015Today we begin the vignette A Berry from the Sun. This is the story that Alays tells to Jassart and Vivienne (and Mathilde), brought to watercolor reality by the incredibly talented Cari Corene. She wanted to illustrate it as if it was a story book. It’s a story about manitou and their adventures. If you were following along the updates to the Kickstarter campaign, you’ll recognize a few of the manitou. To see a preview of the manitou, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Ravencon is this weekend! Diane and I will be there. Come by and say hello.
Almanac – Elakanois
April 16th, 2015This week’s Almanac entry is the Elakanois. They are the closest ally of Aradie among the native nations and the ones who have suffered the most as a result of the diseases brought by the colonists. In this world, diseases are caused by malignant spirits.
RavenCon is next weekend. This is our first Sci-fi/Fantasy convention. I’m really excited to try out this type of show and RavenCon comes highly recommended. I’m looking forward to it as our first convention of the year.
Cast Update — Singing Jay
April 9th, 2015Today’s Almanac entry is a cast update — Singing Jay! He’s the Elakanois storyteller introduced waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in Feathers & Frost. He’s referenced heavily in the last pages of Chapter 10.
The Kickstarter for Volume 2 is a success! We did it! Thank you to all our backers. There’s 15 minutes left on the timer. You can still hop in and reap the rewards. Just $77 more and we’ll unlock the offline Almanac as a stretch goal. CLICK HERE TO SUPPORT OUR KICKSTARTER.
And a heads up! RavenCon is coming up on April 24-26 in Richmond, Virginia. It’s our first convention of the year. Diane and I will be attending.
Chapter 10, Page 16
February 24th, 2015Antoine shows Vivienne and Jassart the archives on Chapter 10, Page 16. There are upsides and downsides to having a great spirit who is the patron of arts and sciences. On one hand the savants write down a lot of things; on the other hand, they write down a lot of things. To see what lies in store for Jassart and Vivienne on the next page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
In other news, Snow by Night will be joining the other creators of Reverie Comics at AwesomeCon! Come see us and say hello. We’ll be doing panels, selling books, and just talking with fans.
Chapter 10, Page 10
February 4th, 2015Vivienne mulls the possibilities of all that aether on Chapter 10 Page 10. And now you see the reason why I chose Engagement at Vineyard Hill to follow Chapter 9. Jassart may be persuasive, but Vivienne only agrees on her own terms. Want to see what Jacqueline has been up to during this conversation? If so, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics. We can see a familiar face.
Check out all the new conventions we added to our appearances this year. We’re really excited about the chance to go back to AwesomeCon, Otakon, and GenCon. We’re also looking foward to our two new conventions of RavenCon and Capital Con DC.
Our fellow Reverie member Ava’s Demon is running a Kickstarter for her second book. It looks beautiful. You will want to get a copy and backing her kickstarter will make that happen.
Painterly Ad – Vivienne
November 10th, 2014Hi everyone. For today’s update, please enjoy the painterly ad for Vivienne! Julie did a fantastic job with her. I love, love, love this one. Sorry for the delay. We got back from NekoCon really really late last night.
Speaking of which, Nekocon was fantastic. Thank you to all of you that stopped by. We sold out of our Sailor Scouts in French Naval garb as well as our Roses of Alchemy. I had a fantastic time with Amanda, Savannah, Monica, Stephanie, and Yan on the panels we did there. I’m already looking forward to next year.
Almanac- Aradien Warfare
November 7th, 2014This week’s Almanac entry is Aradien Warfare. Irregular warfare is a necessity on the wooded frontier of Everique. Diane and I are off to Nekocon really early tomorrow. So a short entry tonight. See you all when we get back.
Engagement on Vineyard Hill Page 2
November 4th, 2014Vivienne leads her cavalry forces on a surprise attack on the flank of the Morantine battery on Engagement on Vineyard Hill Page 2. To see a preview of the attack on the battery from page 3, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Vivienne’s assault is not in keeping with the conventions of Japethan warfare. Instead, shes’s drawing from the irregular war that was common on the American (and therefore Everique) frontier. The French were excellent at it during the many conflicts up to and including the French and Indian War. Vivienne and her fellow colonists from Aradie are using those tactics as well. We’ll have to see if her fellow officers from Saronne appreciate her resourcefulness.
NekoCon is this weekend. Diane, Julie, and I head down on Friday. Because of this convention, I may not be done lettering Monday’s page by Sunday. If that happens, I’ll be uploading a special treat instead. Many of you asked for it — a painterly ad of Vivienne. Julie did a terrific job with her.
