Updates Saturdays

After looking at my schedule and Justin's schedule, I have decided it would be best if we start updating on Saturday mornings (about 1am on average). That keeps the schedule solid and gives you guys something to read on the weekends, and doesn't conflict with my 7pm class.

In other news, WTH con may be canceled due to snow. I really hope not.

Edit: Page is live and I am at WTH Con. Whee!

Delays and Concepts

As I rather expected, school and paying jobs have hit us rather hard, so this update is not a page (sorry) but rather one of my concept sketches for the Eindring armor. Hope you guys like it, I have spent literally years rolling this around in my head (still not very happy with it).

In other news, WTH Con is next weekend, I will be attending and giving a panel or two- you should come too!

Credits Page

If you're reading this, then it means that my date functions are working correctly, and it's past midnight in the time zone which my server resides. Unfortunately that timezone is not my timezone, but I'll live. A couple extra hours won't kill anyone.

Anyhow, this is kind of a boring page but you have to have this page to make a book work (and we are treating this as a book in mid-print). Some of the names may be familiar to you guys. :)

Volume 1 Starts Now

The front cover of Volume 1 is now live, along with the 0th page which explains hovers. I am working with Justin, our new artist, to come up with a better cover design, so check this out while it's still the same. Expect Volume 1 to start kicking into high gear next friday. :D

In other news, Modern Written Yarboan is mostly done. Thus far everything I have written has been in Basic Written Yarboan, but Modern is a much more sophisticated system that can say more with fewer brush strokes. I still have a few kinks to iron out, but it should be ready for public consumption by next weekend.

New Site Design! (Again).

Well, it's terribly late, but here is the new site design. I'm not happy with the banner at all, and the archives are completely down until I rewrite them entirely, but it's progress. Please email me feedback!

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.
