Guhh, dark. Doing night scenes is very difficult, because you lose so many linework details.
In every previous instance, when I've been unhappy with the art, I've refused to post the page. In this case, I've gone ahead and put it up with the intention of redrawing it sometime next week. I wonder if that reflects a change in artistic integrity?
Oh, someone asked how many layers this page took in photoshop. I count it, it's about 47, not counting folders. That's actually pretty low, because the girl only appears in two panels, and one of those it's just her hand.

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.
