Chapter 13 Page 1
March 28th, 2016Hello everyone! I’m back from visiting Grandparents down in Florida. We had a great time. Lots of beach and pools and parks were visited. Good times!
Hey, it’s time to start a new chapter with Chapter 13, Page 1. This is the first page of Volume 4 and the first page in the second half of the story. Snow by Night will run 24 chapters so we’re already halfway there.
If you’re wondering what happened to the vignette, well, it’s not quite done yet. So we’ll be doing the first scene from Ch13 while the artist finishes it up.
For this new volume, I’m joined by Steph Stober as my colorist. You can see her work on the web page and in a couple vignettes in Volume 2. Thank you for stepping up, Steph!
Naty Baaklini has done fantastic work as my colorist since chapter 4, but classes have lured her away. Thank you, Naty for all your contribution to Snow by Night. It made a huge difference!
The first scene in Chapter 13 involves Cienan. You can see a preview of what he’s up to when you vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
I is eggsited.
That is some poster worthy opening scene. Well done!
A beautifully symbolic combination, the starting spring and a young child. Good to know there’s still half the story left. We won’t have to part with this world and its characters too soon, then!
So you already know how many chapters Snow by Night is going to have. Do you also think you know how many pages? Do you plan another story from the same world afterwards?
The chapters are coming in at 28-30 pages. Vignettes are 10-12. With 12 chapters left, that’s 12 x 40 = 480 pages. Assuming we post 2 pages a week, that’s just under 5 years to go. I really want to go to 3 pages a week. That knocks it down to just over 3 years.
Yes, I have two other stories to tell. One, I’m starting right now. It’s the story of a post-post apocalyptic fantasy world that is reforming. This story will be told through gameplay. Imagine Flight Rising or Gaia Online with a story that continues through the entire site. You can find it at Tattered Weave. Diane has been posting previews of it on the Facebook page.
After Snow by Night, I want to tell another story. This one is a fairy tale that follows the adventures of a princess who marries into an ancient noble family and finds herself caught up in a their sagas. I’m going to draw heavily on Welsh folklore for this one. It will be high fantasy with lots of old school fey.
Sounds like some facinating tales are in the works. I’ll stay tuned.
Good to see Kit again.
Very nice! I love this webcomic and I’m looking forward to the next chapter.
Awwwwwww. Thanks! That’s comment is a treat better than Easter candy.
Toothy Kit… Cienan? Getting really excited for this next chapter…
Not at the same time though! Cienan first; then Kit. She runs her mouth most of the chapter.
Don’t mind me, I’m just trying to draw lines that aren’t there ;) Though I do think a conversation between the two of them would be fascinating, I’ll enjoy each separately as well!
