New Hard Drive

You guys are lucky- I finally got my system up and running again this afternoon, and was able to scramble the update together. This has been a trying week for me.

Treading Water

Work has been... well, the usual crazy busy. This page (and all the other misc pages) reflect that, and I'm working on a solution. We're getting close to it, so keep your eyes peeled. Things will change, for the better. :)

Also, is there any interest in an open-source version of my webcomic engine? I think I can make something that would be useful to other artists who might not feel like writing an entire engine in PHP, but don't want a cookie-cutter website either.

Sleipnir class ships eh?

Things are in the works, my friends. I hope to show today's topic in action soon.

Sheep

Edit: Whoops, put the wrong datetime in the database. Fixed now, sorry.

Turns out I can't draw sheep that well yet. So instead you get a picture of some dudes. I'm trying to exercise my drawing muscles that I'll need for when I resume updating normal pages (which is imminent!)

Props

This is a somewhat unique update in that it will have lots of future revisions. This time I'm making something akin to a movie prop, and the process is much slower than drawing a concept sketch. Rather than delaying the update, I'll just show you what I've got as I go along.

About Sandstorm Conscience

Sandstorm Conscience is an extended examination of miscommunication between cultures, and the harsh consequences that are born from that lack of comprehension.

The Sandstorm Conscience series is the most lasting and thought-out project by TSHolden to date: the first book is completely scripted, and the second volume is being released incrementally as a webcomic. The first volume is still in need of a proper artist, someone better than my chicken scratches, so contact me if you're interested.

The Red Books are best viewed at 50% resolution on most monitors, with two-page side-by-side. Volume 2 is a mostly normal webcomic, but makes extensive us of hovering to spice things up. Comments welcome.

Reading the Comic

I believe in usability, and I believe that no two people have the same preferences. To make my comic more usable to a wider variety of people, I have set up multiple naviagtion options for the comic archive. You can do any of the following:

  1. Use the text links at the bottom of the page.
  2. Click the giant arrows on the sides of the page. Deprecated for now.
  3. Click the comic itself to advance to the next page.

Please note that hovering over the comic, while not essential to reading the story, does reveal special aspects of the comic.
