Chapter 8 Page 17
February 10th, 2014Blaise makes a hasty exit on Chapter 8 Page 17, as the binding circle collapses in itself with nothing to contain. I’m rather happy with the sound effects on this page. The BZAAAAT took several different layers with masks and opacity to work it in right. To see what’s become of Jassart and Bertrande, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics. We’re in the top 15! Wow. We’ve never been this high before. Our thanks to all of you!
An update on our Art Contest! We’ve decided to adopt a theme for this year’s contest. The theme is Alchemy! Submissions should have at least one Snow by Night NPC and something to do with alchemy. We’re taking a broad view of Alchemy. It can be alchemical theory, processes, the elements, or anything else alchemical related. I’ll even consider astronomy to be part of Alchemy because of the strong influences that the planets have on alchemy. To see what people did last year, check out last year’s Art Contest archive.
Katsucon is this weekend. I’ll be there Friday and Sunday. Brittany will be there all three days. Books, buttons, and prints! Come by and get some merch and wacky conversation.
Brittany and I were interviewed on TGT on Saturday. You can see the interview on YouTube. Brittany is awesome, while I’m showing off my collection of old maps. Kurt, the interviewer, is a great guy and was a lot of fun to talk to.
Almanac – The Three Essentials
February 7th, 2014This week’s Almanac entry is the Three Essentials. The soul of Sulfur and the spirit of Mercury unite to create the body of Salt. Salt provides the form to the consciousness and the life force of its parents, yet it is the result of their existence. In alchemical theory, consciousness creates life and together they beget the body. So René Descartes famous quote “I think therefore, I am.” is literally true for alchemy.
Another interesting fact In alchemical theory. Sulfur represents energy, Mercury represents light. and Salt represents mass. Alchemists understood the relationship between energy, mass, and light as they are the Three Essentials that comprise all existance. This relationship would later be given substance of a scientific equation of Sulfur = Salt x Mercury2. Einstein may have used different notation.
Snow by Night is up to #12 in the Top Web Comics ranking. 12. We’ve never broken the top 20 before. Craziness! Give us a vote on TWC and see if we can break the top 10.
Katsucon is coming up next week. Brittany and I will be there. Well, mostly Brittany. We’ll have books, prints, and buttons. Come by and say hello.
