July 30th, 2013Blaise admits to Jassart that he might be kinda sorta in love with a snow spirit on Chapter 7 Page 7. Jassart tells him how stupid that is. To see a preview of the next page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Otakon is next week. We’ll be there with books for Chapters 1-4, the prints of the Spirits of the Seasons as well as the alchemy prints, and buttons galore.

Otakon rapidly approaches. Snow by Night will be in the Artist Alley at Table W12. Here’s a handy map on how to find us.
We’re right next door to our good friend Julie Wright of Ianua at W11, around the corner from Whitney of Prism the Miracle at W13, just down the way from Technoangel Studios at W09, within easy speaking distance from Eren and Cheznian of Tamuran at W05, too close for her comfort from Jenn Zyren Smith of LaSalle’s Legacy at W06, across the way from Jessi Bavolack and Matt Pascal of Geeks Next Door at BB02, who are neighbors to Danny Valentini of Draconia Chronicles at BB03, who is next to the Tangent Artists at BB02, and they’re not too far from Lora Innes of The Dreamer at CC02, Mookie and Garth of Star Power at CC04, and Krow and Songbird of Spinnerette at AA01. One of the few webcomics we’re NOT near is Amya who are all the way over K03 and K04.
Father Winter
July 25th, 2013Today’s Almanac update is the final installment of Julie Wright’s four-illustration series, The Spirits of the Seasons with Father Winter. We’ve already met this seasonal spirit twice in the comic. Chances are, he’ll be back. Until then, here’s his poetical introduction.
A howling wind heralds his bleak approach,
and with each soft step, ice and snow encroach,
Burdened by regrets and hopes dead too soon
Lost in memories polished as the moon.
You may notice the wolf beside Father Winter. Is that Malsum? Or as Snow would call him “Daddy’s mean friend.”
Chapter 7 Page 5
July 23rd, 2013Blaise makes a request of Jassart which goes about as well as you would expect on Chapter 7 Page 5. Blaise is also suspicious of Snow-by-Night’s claim that she can’t feel anything. Is he on to something? We’ll have to find out. To see a glimpse of the next page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Otakon – our biggest show of the year – is rapidly approaching. We’ll be at table W-12 on this handy-dandy Map of Otakon’s Artist’s Alley. We’re right beside Julie Wright of Ianua and Whitney Delaglilo of Prism the Miracle. It’s a webcomic wonderland.

Jassart’s door fails to keep Blaise out of his apartment and other tales of horror in Chapter 7 Page 4. To see a preview of the next page, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
The Evensong Bard
July 18th, 2013We continue our tour of the seasons with the Evensong Bard, the spirit of autumn, by Julie Wright.
I hear him calling with the fleeting sun,
His song of ease when the labors are done.
Trees drape him in fading crimson and gold,
While shadows stretch long as the day grows old.
Chapter 7 Page 3
July 16th, 2013Laurent expresses equal parts pity and condescension for Jassart in Chapter 7 Page 3. Or maybe it’s mostly condescension. Either way, Laurent’s walking away from that bad hand. To see a preview of page 4, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Brittany and I are back from Connecticon. It was a fun convention. It’s always great to meet other creators and Connecticon had a lot of them. I’ll upload some photos from the convention to our Facebook page later this week.
Oh, great news! In addition to Snow by Night, I’m a freelance writer for Wizards of the Coast, where I write for Dungeons & Dragons. The book I wrote for them last year Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue is nominated for three different ENnies awards, including Product of the Year. They’ll announce the results at GenCon. Wish me luck!
Chapter 7 Page 2
July 14th, 2013Diane here to bring you Page 2 of Chapter 7, where we see Laurent’s luck continues to fail him. He’s not very good at keeping a poker face. If you were Laurent, you probably wouldn’t be, either. To see a preview of the next page, vote for us on Top Web Comics.
Eric and Brittany arrived home from a great weekend at Connecticon just past midnight. They’re both exhausted from the 8-hour drive, so I covered tonight’s update and let Eric know he can update you with our regular con report later!
