A Berry from the Sun page 4
April 28th, 2015Fire consumes; ice preserves. On page 4 of A Berry from the Sun, Talons-that-Seek reveals what has transformed him. I love Cari Corene’s representation of the sun as a berry bush. She does such pretty work. To see a preview of the next page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
I’m plugging away on Volume 2 things this week and working on the script for Chapter 11. The maps and bonus vignette are in production for the volume. Once I get the script done, I’m going to start picking out all the sketches and other bonus art to include in the chapter. I’ll keep you appraised of things as they continue.

We’re back from RavenCon. It was a fun time, and I got to see a lot of friends that I haven’t gotten to see in a long time.
Our next big convention is AwesomeCon! Woooooo. It’s the last weekend in May and we’ll be attending as guests with the Reverie Crowd. We’ve got an entire island at the convention and eight of our members will be there. I’m really looking forward to it.
A Berry from the Sun Page 2
April 21st, 2015The manitou cross the river to face the corrupted eagle on Page 2 of A Berry from the Sun. There are five manitou and five spirit dancers. The spirit dancers are from each of the five nations of the northeastern woodlands of Everique. Again, Cari Corene does a beautiful job painting them.
My favorite is the spirit dancer who is tied to Plays-in-Waves. She’s from the Maniquois nation, which, at the time of this story, occupied the coastline to the east and is crumbling from Japethic incursions. She’s the only spirit dancer they have left, and she is only 8 years old. They sent her to honor the covenant chain between the nations. It is the last action of the nation, as it loses the war of attrition with colonists and disease in the next generation.

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.
Chapter 10, Page 29
April 14th, 2015Alays begins her tale for a larger audience than she knows on Chapter 10, Page 29. This is the final page of the chapter and leads directly into the vignette A Berry from the Sun. If you enjoyed Feathers and Frost from Chapter 1, then you’re really going to enjoy this story. The artist is Cari Corene. She is a magnificent watercolor artist. You can find her work on etsy, tumblr, or deviantart. To see a preview of what she has in store for you, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Chapter 10, Page 28
April 12th, 2015Alays has a price for her stories on Chapter 10, Page 28. Everique is a land of dreams, but not everyone’s dreams are the same. One page more in this chapter, and then we start the vignette A Berry from the Sun. To see a glimpse of the final page of the chapter, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Chapter 10, Page 27
April 7th, 2015Vivienne tries to calm Alays down on Chapter 10, Page 27. The ladybird is still a bit concerned about what Jassart wants. I can’t say that I blame her. To see a preview of the next page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
