  Thought you'd find out what happened to Tim, did you? Well, I'm postponing it another week. I wanted to see if I could do this...and since I did, I guess I succeded. But this brings up something I should address right here and right now before I get too much into things. Subconscious was started with the webcomic itself being low on my list of priorities. Yes, I know, it's strange, but when SC began, I was focusing on the website design more than anything else (despite the fact that the first couple versions sucked). The fact that I did anything with the comic at all is sort of a miracle. The only thing that kept me going with it were a few people who kept asking me for more. More plot. More characters. More detail. More everything. That's how SC began. That's how we went from a few simple scribbles to the (more) polished and shiny design that we have today. It's how I can now make hadoukens (for the lack of a better noun) for the comic. It's how I was able to spend the hours (more hours than many of you know...most of the stuff I do doesn't end up on the site at all) required to make this better. It's how I have the drive now to continue cranking out comic after comic despite the fact that I'm swamped up to my ear lobes. But here's my thing. The stuff in my head...the charcters, the plot, the locations, everything...it's way beyond anything I could possibly design with my less-than-stellar skills with PSP9. I mean, it's not like I don't want to. Honestly, if I had my way, I'd buy myself something uber that would allow me to sketch my comics digitally rather than on paper or using a mouse. Now, would that make my comics better? Maybe. But I'd like to think that what makes Subconscious so endearing to those of you who actually read this is the fact that I'm not some uber artist...I'm just a guy with a computer with a few skills and a fun plot (which, yes, does move kinda slow sometimes). I will probably never get to do anything beyond stickfigures in terms of my art, and to be honest, I don't really care that much. If I try to change my art, it won't be as awesome...what upgrades you've seen have all been unintentional. In fact, the hadouken you see there was completely and absolutely accidental. I mean, I wanted to do something like that, but it turned out 100x better than I had expected. But that's enough of that. I guess all I want to say is I'm sorry that it's never going to look as good as the Sistine Chapel or even something from Salvador Dali, but I can say for sure that Subconscious has found it's artistic style...and I doubt it's going anywhere for a long time. =) And on a different note, I am going to be uber busy for the next week as well as being out of town for several days to several places. Yes, I know that's no excuse for anything (trust me, I've heard them from other webcomic artists as well), but I guess I figure it's only fair to warn you that if next week's SC is a bit late or of a bit less quality than normal, it was totally not my fault. Blame it on my job, family trips, and college stuff. (All of that tis confusing to guess at unless you either A: know me well or B: have been told specifics by yours truly.) So, yeah, I hope to see you guys at the same time and the same place next week, but no promises. As always, thanks for reading!
