Altering Pages After Posting Them

[GFalconDX]

Have you found yourself altering your pages after posting them. Even after you've posted them a month, 2 months or even a year ago? For example, I've been trying to find a good style of coloring that I feel comfortable with and I find myself making small alterations to the previous pages.

What about you?

I only do it for big changes, like an art upgrade. Or if i find a way to make a scene work better.

Not really, unless it's a quick fix like a typo or wrong font. Or unless I actually make a significant revision to the writing (a good chunk of my first chapter has been rewritten and redrawn from scratch, over a year after I posted it).

I generally don't bother with art upgrade edits. I'd rather just apply the improvements going forward. I got a long story to tell, and continuous back-and-forthing will not make that process any faster!

I only alter pages here if there are typos or some wonky art.
Though lately I've been feeling the need to tweak things on a new update if commenters mention something and it wasn't what I had intended.

I do periodically go back to fix up some mistakes in my art that nag at me for Heavy Horns as I intend for that to go to print once it's all done. I figure I might as well fix them now before it piles up right before I plan on submitting it to a printer.

I've been going back and fixing all my text bubbles and making the font bigger for mobile readers. I also cleaned up some art along the way that's been bugging me, but nothing too major. It makes me feel better when I go to reread so it's worth the extra time to me anyways. (´∀｀、)

Recently we reuploaded our chapter 1 and 2 so that they're all in a single chapter each instead of separate pages, and I took this opportunity to go back and fix small things. Mostly, in the first few pages my speech bubbles and the way I formatted the text was slightly different than how I do it now. The main character's handbag I always have trouble remembering and it was missing in a few panels. Also, many panels had characters that were cross-eyed for some reason ^^'''' I fixed those... In the future, whenever we finish a chapter we'll reupload it and I plan to go through it to see if there are mistakes at the same time.

Only main change I made on comic pages was when I started doing 2 layers of shading instead of one. If I made a small unnoticeable error, I probably won't change anything. As for full color changes, probably not

[dawgofdawgness]

I'm actually planning on doing that to some of my earlier pages so that the story can flow easier. But leaving the art alone, because I'd like to see my improvement ^_^

I think it should be done for major issues like typos, because little things like art mistakes can actually be a good indicator of how you've improved.

My partner and I only make alterations before printing, as part of the editing process. But we don't really start on that until each book is finished being posted online. We print it all out, and make sure it flows correctly and looks okay in print, then we make adjustments as needed. It's about the time when I catch things like- the hero's sword disappeared in a panel, so I'll add it in, or something is too small to see in print, so it needs to be redrawn bigger.. or stuff like that.

I don't ever go back and update the online stuff though. I feel like my readers wouldn't notice anyways and would rather see new pages.

I sometimes go back over my strips and see errors in them that I need to fix (more than likely because I was so tired when I posted them). So in a sense, yes I do edit my pages later on I just don't change the images completely

[msanford19]

For me I only tend to go back if I see mistakes that I need to fix (typos and other general errors) but I don't redo entire sequences or anything unless I find something really wrong with it haha

I made drastic alterations multiple times in fact. Im actually finally finishing the last page of rework. I actually went through 4 iterations of the same story updating the art and dialogue scripts. It really pushed me to dig deeper and make it the best work I could and now I feel like the foundation is just right to move forward. I've also got a lot of experience under my belt without having to burn a lot of really creative ideas.
