eyesore, thoughts on redrawing strips
16 years ago
General
Now Rayne is over 4 years old I still link the first strip every time and its really starting to gnaw at me art wise. I'm not much of an art snob, and I wouldn't say that I'm that good and I like to see the progression of other artists with I see thier comics from the start till where they are now. With that said I think I progressed a bit and mainly some of the first few I think might be so bad they might be putting people off to the comic itself before they can get into it.
With all that said I want to know your opinion. I wish I could redo every mistake and the like from every strip ever but that is just unrealistic. However what do you feel. And how many strips do you feel are unreasonably bad? I dont know when or possibility if I can redo any of them, but since its a little for me and alot for you, the reader, i wonder what you want.
Don't worry if you say alot of them are bad as long as you are honest ^.^

Books may benefit from improved artwork, but digital copies wouldn't be much better for it, and I would prefer to have more new strips than nicer-looking old strips.
Many other artists whose webcomics I read also have early art that doesn't really look like much, but they've left it to show just how far they've come since they started.
Your art also shows this kind of improvement over time, so I don't think it would be quite worth it.
(that should be less than forty strips, so it shouldn't take more than a month, right?)

When I started uploading it here, I considered trying to fix it up. In the end I just fixed a spelling mistake and cleaned up a few specks and stray lines. I figured it was more worthwhile to put my effort into making new pages than fixing old ones. As a compromise, I made that summary page http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1441969/ to allow people to skip the ancient pages if they wanted and start with the newer pages.
dont.
that you dont like the quality should remain there as a reminder: now you are better
when i look at some of my earlier work, i too think its shit tier - but i keep there anyway, as a way to remind myself that now i am better
i've been doing my webcomic on and off for some five years now. When i look back at a lot of them I see them as absolute shit tier...
like these:

compare this to my more recent work:
http://psitech.comicgenesis.com/d/20090619.html - more detail, much less WALL OF TEXT and much better...
trust me, i've improved a lot - but like he'll i'll redo 600 pages of webcomic
i'm trying to get around to start updating again. probably after my exams i'll start again for a while. I dont tie myself down as a slave to update schedules - did that once, felt too much like a chore. then you loose the spark for the comic. thats bad
