March 3rd, 2015Vivienne grills Jassart about what happened last time he was in the museum on Chapter 10, Page 18. Jassart tells the truth from a certain point of view. Controlling the message is a powerful tool.
On a different note, see what Vivienne would really would like during a late-night study session when you vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
More of the graphics are flowing in for the Kickstarter campaign. Go Steph go! The language for the page is done. Go proofreaders go! I’ll get all the rewards language done tomorrow. Go me go! We’re on track for our Monday launch for the Volume 2 Kickstarter campaign. I’m so excited to make this happen.

March 1st, 2015Vivienne and Jassart begin working through all those reference works in the library on Chapter 10, Page 17. Or at least Vivienne is. Jassart seems to be studying extracurriculars. They also have a bit of a discussion about Cienan. Any conversation about Cienan is always fun. To see what Jassart and Vivienne discuss next, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
We got a lot of stuff done for the Kickstarter campaign over the last week. I got the rewards mapped out and the language for the Kickstarter page done. Steph Stober of Final Arcanum is helping me out with the video. It’s going to be pretty sweet. That should be done this week and hopefully we’ll have a launch next Monday. Weeeeeee, so excited.

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.

February 23rd, 2015Antoine is easily distracted by potatoes on Chapter 10, Page 15. Vivienne probably should be more interested in potatoes. If the French had adopted that tuber, the nobility (of which Vivienne is a part) may have prevented the French Revolution, as the failed wheat harvests played a large role in formenting discontent. Yes, it’s related to nightshade, and yes its fruit, leaves, and stems are toxic. But really, isn’t a little poison worth the French fries?
On a side note, Germany adopted the potato during the 18th century because of marauding foragers for the armies of all the wars in the 1700s. They could empty barns and burn crops, but digging up all the potatoes was too much work and you can’t really set fire to a potato field like you can with a wheat field. So that’s why Germany and eastern Europe became famous for their potato dishes while France did not. Potatoes fried in the French manner did not happen until near the end of the century.
When we were thumbnailing out this page, Julie, Diane, and I had a long conversation about whether Antoine would be waxing poetic over potatoes or corn. We eventually settled on potatoes because (1) potatoes are funnier than corn, and (2) people in Québéc at this time would be aware of maize while potatoes are much more exotic. Julie captured the struggle of potato versus corn in today’s vote incentive on Top Web Comics.

February 18th, 2015Jassart’s presence does not go unnoticed by Antoine on Chapter 10, Page 14. His previous interactions with Jassart were not exactly the best. That’s okay. Vivienne has a solution that mollifies the old sage.
Julie gave me a beautiful panel on the next page that looks like a cut scene. I couldn’t resist. To see for yourself, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
I’m planning out the Kickstarter campaign for Volume 2. A lot of the prep work is done. I’m typing up the description for the campaign page as well as all the rewards. I’m hoping to have it start around the end of the month or early March.

February 15th, 2015Vivienne and Jassart pay a visit to the Museum of Sherbourg on Chapter 10, Page 13. They recruit the services of Antoine Dupuis to help them. To see how that goes, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.

February 10th, 2015Cienan has some words of advice for Jacqueline on Chapter 10, Page 12. His words are troubling for Vivienne’s aide-de-camp even if they are informative. Our scene shifts next week. To see who’s back, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Chapter 10, Page 11
February 9th, 2015Jacqueline bumps into Cienan on Chapter 10 Page 11, while she’s waiting for Vivienne to finish her conversation with Jassart. Cienan’s keen eye has foiled Vivienne’s efforts to keep Jassart’s presence quiet. We’ll have to see what Jacqueline thinks of that on Wednesday. To see one of Cienan’s quips on his own appearance, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Some of you may have noticed the Jumpbar below the comic page. Snow by Night has become an affiliate of Hiveworks, including the fabulous comics of Ode, Namesake, Amya, and Spinnerette. I don’t anticipate this making any changes to Snow by Night other than the jumpbar. We’ll be continuing to make the comic as good as we can.
