Almanac – The Quadrivium
May 30th, 2013In this week’s Almanac entry, we return to the Enlightened Studies to discuss the Quadrivium, which are the next four revelations of Giavere after the Trivium. Fun fact — the Trivium and Quadrivium are drawn directly from the structure of courses at medieval universities. Because the Quadrivium was more advanced, anything minor and easy was learned in the Trivium, making it… trivial.
Etymology is fun.

Chapter 6 Page 29 concludes with a new bargain struck between Snow-by-Night and Blaise. Let’s hope that the third time is the charm. Next Monday, we begin the vignette Winter Fantasy, illustrated by Julie Wright. To see a sample of the incredible art you can expect, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comic.
Brittany and I traveled down to Animazement this weekend and the convention lived up to its name. It was amazing. We met so many great anime fans down there and got to tell hundreds of people about our comic. We sold close to 70 books, which is a record for us. No rest for the wicked though. Anime Mid-Atlantic is right around the corner.
Almanac – Masons Guild
May 23rd, 2013Hi, everyone! Diane here to bring you the Almanac update while Brittany and Eric are away at Animazement! If you’re attending, make sure to stop by and bother them for me! Say hello and check out Chapters 1-4 for sale and all our other merchandise available. Eric and Brittany would be happy to sign copies for you, if you like. Anyone interested in merchandise who isn’t local can also check out our online Store.
Eric wrote an entry on the Mason’s Guild yesterday before he left, tying into last week’s entry on the Fundament Exchange. There are rumors of some political goings-on behind the scenes that I found intriguing… He forgot to leave me the typical parchment background file, so I had to make do with this, the Mason’s Guild marque.
Also remember that you can vote for us on Top Web Comics daily to see a preview of the next page!

May 21st, 2013Blaise finally catches Snow-by-Night when she runs out of town on Chapter 6 Page 28. There, she confides in Blaise what she saw in the temple of Giavere and makes a startling declaration. To see the next page in progress, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics and see several panels of Brittany’s pencils.
Only one more page left in this chapter. I’m afraid that Monday is a holiday for us. So our next page update is next Wednesday, May 29. After that, we start the vignette for Chapter 6, titled Winter Fantasy. It’s written by Yours Truly and drawn by the immensely talented Julie Wright. You may know her as the colorist for The Dreamer or as one of the creative pair behind Ianua. I’ve poached her for this project and I’m so glad I did. It is so dreamy. Which is good, because… well, you’ll see.
Animazement this weekend. Brittany and I are off on Thursday since it’s down in North Carolina. Diane’s in charge while we’re gone. I’ll do my best to get an Almanac entry together before I go.

Almanac – Fundament Exchange
May 16th, 2013This week’s almanac entry is the Fundament Exchange. Fundament is ore, pulled from the ground and in its natural state, unchanged by human hands. Many of the investors in the Aradie Trading Company dreamed of riches similar to what the Ilandrians are pulling out of the southern continent of Ascuta. They were sorely disappointed for the wealth of Everique does not glitter like gold.
Next weekend, Brittany and I head down to North Carolina and attend Animazement. Stop by and say hello if you are attending and check out our line up of books, buttons, and prints. Or maybe hire Brittany to do a commission. You can find a map to Artist’s Alley here. We’re booth M24.

This week, Snow by Night joined Tapastic. This is a webcomic hosting platform and it’s a way for us to try to reach new fans. Don’t worry, this site isn’t going anywhere.

The higher our rating and the more likes we get, the more prominently we’re displayed on Tapastic.
