Issues with Old Content Not Matching New Content

[bulgariansumo]

(I didn't know which category to put this in, but put this in Comics since I imagine more comic creators will reply. Other novelists are welcome, too.)

When I first started writing my novel 4 years ago, I just put images in certain chapters for fun. I didn't want to stress myself out with it since it was a more casual project for me at the time.

Now, I'm a little more concerned with audience building. You may've seen a couple months ago where I went back to the first section of my story and added pictures. I'm happy that I did it, but now I have a new problem: There's about 34-35 chapters that either don't have illustrations at all, or the ones they have are from up to 4 years ago.

Have you dealt with similar problems of your old content not matching your new content? What did you do?

Hmnnnn not on the scale you are speaking, but i did make a color shift for the main character of my comics hair. I thought about redoing all the old pages to match, but i have the mindset of acknowledge, improve, implement as you move forward over going back. If/when my stuff goes to print i’ll worry about color corrections then.

Though if it doesn’t mess up your release schedule to much, may-haps working on the side to add 5-10 simple illustrations for those earlier pages with a note on a regular update that tells folks to look back and see the refreshing updates to your backlog.

The first half of my comic is sorta of a remnant of me wanting to be a harem romance taking place in a stick figure world, but now it evolved into a shonen webcomic with aspects solely focusing on action. I think I got lucky since the dodgeball arc made people accept this. I got results in a survey where people didn't care about the action-focused direction.
