Redrawing old comic

Hello everyone!

I'm new here, migrated from smackjeeves. I really liked that site, but... oh well.
Anyway, there is an old comic of mine, a fantasy/BL/drama, and it's been... around 7 years since I started on it.

I'm sure some of you understand the feeling when you get better at drawing - and all your old pictures became ugly. That was my case too lol, couldn't look at my old art anymore, and this resulted in a lengthy comic-hiatus. Now I finally decided to start from the beginning and try to prettify up that old mess.
It's not the best by a long shot, but comparing my old and new art gives motivation. Slow is the way of improvement, but it does happen.

Here is a page for comparison:

If you have any constructive criticism or thoughts, I'd love to hear it.

I like the re-draws! It's not super obvious where you stopped updating old pages, so it seems to be a smooth transition. Love the story so far and I subscribed.

I like the redraw a lot! The text are much neater and the colours meld with each other better.

Well I certainly do see an improvement, and I quite like what you've done!

Thank you!
Ah I haven't put any old pages here on tapas - full fresh start. The only one from first version is above as comparison. There is a 4 year gap between the last old page and the restart, and I just could not continue where it was left off. Have to redraw the first 70 or so pages because of it haha, but I hope the end result will be worth it.
