Steph Stober

Steph Stober is a freelance illustrator who never quite grew out of cartoons and comic books. Most of her time is spent drawing, spoiling her two rabbits (Caesar and Houdini), and generally geeking out about nerdy things on the internet. She is the creator of Final Arcanum and more of her work can be found at stephstober.me!

Diane Hazlett

Diane is a long-time Internet lurker with a memory best described as “a pile of loose Post-It notes that fall out of her head every time she sticks a new one in there.” Despite that, she has a passion for learning and spends most of her free time reading articles, debates, or fiction of various genres.
Every weekend she attends one of many ongoing RPG campaigns, usually in the Dungeons & Dragons setting, which has captivated her interest since she first joined her father’s 2e home campaign at age nine. Around the same time, her obsession with Pokemon led to a Neopets addiction, where she dove headfirst into HTML/CSS coding in order to craft sites for her beloved pixel friends, and has been teaching herself IT through trial and error ever since. Her idol and favorite storyteller is Watase Yuu, an internationally famous Japanese manga-ka, whom she dreams of someday meeting.

Amy Menge

For someone who likes to consider herself relaxed and easygoing, Amy Menge has spent a distressing amount of her professional life nit-picking other people’s work. While keeping up a freelance German-to-English translation practice, she has dabbled in other careers such as software quality assurance, drug coding, and documentation review for metadata used in clinical trials. Amy likes visiting new places, cooking for people she loves, randomly bursting into song, Oxford commas, and watching her daughter discover the world.

Brittany Michel

Brittany graduated in 2008 with a Master’s degree in Sequential Art from the Savannah College of Art and Design. She grew up in Northern Virginia and enjoys beaches, walking on them, and poking washed-up jellyfish with sticks. On weekends in the fall she’s usually dressed as a pirate and running amok at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. Any time she might have left over is taken up by sculpting, mythology, and making costumes and jewelry. Check out some of her other work on her Etsy and Patreon. And 42...it has all the answers.

Natalie Baaklini

After a personal sabbatical following graduation from the Savannah College of Art and Design, Natalie is happy to be back into comics with Snow by Night. She’s working on a few stories of her own that include: witches, shape shifting, reality bending, gender bending, swimming in creeks, sentient plant life, and flying. She would like to point out that these things are not part of the same story, because that would be silly. She hopes to start drawing these stories soon so they’ll stop keeping her up at night and start keeping you up at night instead. If you want to see more of her work, she has a very neglected blog here: http://nataliebaaklini.blogspot.com/ which she may soon swap for a very neglected tumblr, because that's what all the cool kids are doing.

When not at his “day job,” he works as a freelance colorist, animator, storyboarder, character designer, and digital painter. His ultimate goal is to one day be able to do one or all of these things full time. Oh, and pay off his student loans. He really hates those.
