Reposting Old Comics or Starting Anew?

[ToxicRamen]

Hello, I've just joined Tapastic and want to share my webcomic strip on this site. However, I started doing this strip last year and had to put it on hiatus when I started doing a full-time job. At first, I wanted to redo my old strips(24 in all) in digital format but I realized it would take too long so I was thinking of reposting them here but in vertical form.

Is it a good idea to repost my old strips or should I just start over from scratch?

do whatever you want and feel you will be happiest with.

What do you mean start from scratch? The same story or what?

If there is no real reason to redo those pages other than for art consistency's sake, I'd say just repost them, but if you want to change EVERYTHING about the strip, then a redo might be a good idea? But yeah, it's true that it's up to you in the end, do what feels the most right to you.

I think it's smart to take on new projects. As much as your work is like your child and you don't want to abandon it, sometimes a fresh start could end up being better. If you start something new and want to go back, you can always do that too

It would have the same story plot but it would have new artwork.

I say you should do new artwork being that you put it on hiatus, but do what you want/makes you happy.

Redoing the art might drag you into the dangerous loop of forever redrawing the first parts of your comic because it doesn't look exactly perfect.
Now, I can understand redoing some things because of pacing issues and others of the like, but consistency is not essential.
Plus, we get to see your growth as an artist better that way.
Just my two cents.

I know it could be frustrating to look at an old work as you can see all the flaws with time.
However I do recommend to move on. You'll get better at story telling if you practice with a new one.

You'll keep on improving so why go back every time!
