August 24th, 2016Shhhhh! Elk and Kit talk secrets on Chapter 13 Page 28. Time is short. They must slip away before the bodies of the scouts are found.
We’re almost done with this chapter! I have one more scene before I wrap up. Vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics, and you’ll see a hint.
Thank you all for your comments on the last page. There were a lot of insightful points, and I’m grateful of how considerate you are of each other. I am very proud of what a great comment section we have here on the site. You all make it what it is.
Some convention news. We were lucky enough to be invited to the ECCC artist alley in 2017! Wooooooooo! We’ve never done a show on the West Coast before. And I’ve never been to Seattle. So double woooooo!
Did you see that new banner up top? It’s to ICC, the first ever Indigenous Comic Con. Snow by Night is a sponsor! I’ll be attending, but not vending. I might do some panels though. We’ll see. :-)

August 22nd, 2016Defiant Elk claims his opponents’ valor on Chapter 13, Page 27. Blaise has opinions about it. Elk tells him to stuff his opinion. What is Snow up to during this? Please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics and find out!
So this page. I spent a long, long time thinking about this page. It’s subject matter is controversial, and I didn’t want to walk into it lightly. So I talked about it with historians and native artists. I did research. In the end, I decided to include it, because it is setting up important events later in the story.
Also, this practice did happen, and to remove it entirely would be a form of erasure and an embrace of the noble savage stereotype, which I’ve worked hard to avoid. Toothy Kit and Defiant Elk are both protagonists, but they have their flaws. They are grappling with radical cultural change that is upending their way of life.
Finally, I am drawing upon the spiritual reasons why the nations of the northeastern woodlands scalped in the first place. Elk isn’t doing this for a bounty. That would happen in real history as the colonists sought to manipulate the natives for their own gain.
If this page is offensive in anyway, please accept my apologies. This page is important for later events and was not a casual decision.

August 17th, 2016The Morantine scout fails his duty for the last time on Chapter 13 Page 26. Blaise, how did you get up there so fast? Did you parkour through the panels? I want that superpower. For a sneak peek at what victory brings, vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

August 15th, 2016Snow-by-Night makes quick work of the Morantine scouts on Chapter 13 Page 25. Enraged manitou are dangerous things! Where is Blaise during all of this? Vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics and see his handiwork!

August 10th, 2016This daemon isn’t going down easy on Chapter 13 Page 24. Snow-by-Night expounds on the attributes of water. There will be a demonstration of those attributes shortly. See for yourself when you vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics!
We’re back from GenCon, but I still haven’t recovered yet. We all have a great time, but sleep suffered. We greatly enjoyed our run through True Dungeon. We played some D&D, Dragon Age RPG, Phoenix Dawn Command, and more. We also met a lot of wonderful people who stopped by the table in Author’s Avenue! Thank you everyone who stopped by! We’re looking forward to next year when we’ll have Volume 3 published!

August 1st, 2016Kill the daemon! Snow-by-Night suffers the Morantine counter attack on Chapter 13 Page 23. Does brass disrupt Snow’s incarnation? Hmmmm. Interesting. You can see Snow’s response when you vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics!
We’re off to GenCon tomorrow! Since the entire team (and I mean all of us — Julie, Diane, Steph, AND me) is going, we’re going to take a short break from posting pages until next Wednesday August 10. I’m sorry for the mini-hiatus in the middle of a fight scene. If you’re coming to GenCon (and probably about 65,000 of you are), please come by and say hello. We’re in the Author’s Avenue at Table AA-I. We’ll have Snow by Night, Riven Seal (Julie’s comic), and Final Arcanum (Steph’s comic)!

Julie, Steph, Diane, and I (Eric) will all be at GENCON next weekend! We love this convention. We’re huge gamers and there’s so much to do at GenCon. We’ll be in the Author’s Avenue at table AA-I. We’re also working on a special surprise with Erik Scott de Bie and Brian Cortijo for Candlekeep Presents on Saturday night. But you’ve got to attend that seminar to find out what it is!
