Law of the Riverside Page 8
April 10th, 2012Page 8 of Law of the Riverside is up. Ald accepts Mathurin’s bid to help with the Phoenix Men, and this concludes Part 1 of the vignette. Ald faces off against the Phoenix Men in Part 2 which will post following Chapter 4. Speaking of Chapter 4, vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics to see a glimpse of the upcoming cover. We start the new chapter on Monday and return to our 2 pages/week schedule!
Tangent Artists continue their awesome little storyline of laser tag between webcomic crews. They just added Brittany to the mix. Is it just me or did they draw Britt in such a way that she resembles Desire from the Sandman graphic novels?
Fan Art Rendez-vous 7
April 8th, 2012Our 7th and final piece from our Fan Art Rendez-vous is A Spirit of Snow and Ice, a submission from the incredibly talented Eren Fitzgerald, the artist of Tamuran. I have long been a fan of this epic fantasy tale. The art is amazing and the storytelling is top-notch.
The last page of Law of the Riverside part 1 goes up on Wednesday. We begin Chapter 4 “What No One Expects” next Monday. Until then, Happy Easter everyone.
Almanac – Line Infantry
April 5th, 2012This week’s Almanac entry is Line Infantry – the basic building block of the Japethic army. They do the bulk of the fighting and the bulk of the dying. On the battlefields of Japethe, their might is unmatched, but in the forested wilderness of Everique, they are severely hampered.
Diane and I attended VA Comicon last Sunday. It was a fun time and we met a lot of enthusiastic comic fans. We also met a great webcomic creator – Scott Markley. He makes the webcomic Unconscious: the Grim Sleeper, but I also really enjoyed his blog Watching William, which is a sweet and amusing blog about his experiences with his girlfriend’s little boy. Great stuff.

Page 7 of Law of the Riverside is up. Ald is such a liar that his pants are on fire. And his hat apparently. To see a glimpse of Mathurin making the offer, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comic.
Only one more page to go, then we begin with Chapter 4. Britt has done a marvelous job with the first couple of scenes. I can wait to share them with you. I also want to thank Naty for lending (leasing?) her incredible talent to us for this vignette. Read all about Naty in her bio on the About page.
Fan Art Rendez-vous 6
April 1st, 2012Our fan art installment this week is Blaise and the Arctic Fox by Whitney Delaglio. Whitney is the creator of Prism the Miracle, which has always struck me as what happens when you cross a webcomic and modern art. It’s lovely stuff. Also, she has an Etsy store with all sorts of fabulous things. Go check her out!
