Earlier today I got rid of my first comic and spruced it up with a redrawn image that looks infinitely better. I do intend to do more, is this a worthwhile pursuit?

Depends entirely on how many pages you have. I'd like to go back and redraw my early stuff, but my archive is simply too large for it to be worth my time; if I redrew everything that bothered me, I'd be here till kingdom come.

I'm in the same boat as Frostflowers. If I were to go back and redraw every comic I wanted to tweak, clean up or just plain screwed up, I'd be sitting there for weeks. Heck, just doing the ones I think I've screwed up royally would take me a week or two of solid work.

haha, I can see why people don't get far, and now approaching 150 comics, it wont be easy... I'll just do about 10 to hook some new readers

I rather start up a new comic or add some more pages than redraw my old work. I actually like to look back at it and how much I've improved.

What drives me nuts about improvement, is that what happens is there's a lack of consistency.

But, if thats the cost of improving... I'll take it, and like Evil_Snuffkin said, its nice to be able to look back and gauge improvement.

That was one of the things I was wrestling with when i decided to do this, I have all the files on archive, plus I'll have a lot of it still up. I guess it's about moderation

total waste of time ! just burn the old pages if you hate them so much . but i still have stuff on the internet that looks like a kindergartner drew it . i realy don't care , just keep moving forward ,

Hmn, I like to remake old pages and push them to be so much better.
However, if you have a laaaaaarge archive, go back to really really important pages and just improve those. So long as it doesn't interfere with your normal page update schedule.

That's all I've got in opinion right now.

I wouldn't recommend it... but it's not always a complete waste of time. Sometimes there are things that you just GOTTA fix... like a face expression that throws the reader's whole impression of a character, or an important action/conversation/etc. Don't redraw something for the bad quality cuz you're just going to draw the same thing (better but still the same).
Unless you're printing the comic... then the quality of your earlier pages would be pretty important. When you're selling, new readers look at the first page. When it's a webcomic, they usually see the most recent page first.

And I kinda like seeing improvement... for myself. Not sure for other people though... lol.

Well, redrawing them all could take a loooong time. But redrawing the first ten or so would be a good idea. Sometimes beginning art work can put people off, even if they know it will get better. I had real trouble getting into 'The Devil's Panties' because of that, so redrawing some at the beginning could be good.

I read another comic called 'Good Cheese' and they redrew that, it was SO much better. As a reader, I found it fun re-reading it with better artwork.

I had about 40ish pages of my comic Rasvaar, which I redrew and made so much better, story-wise as well as art-wise, I am so much happier for doing so. And then of course, I let it die. Ahaha. I have issues with its consistency, lack of script and so forth and now there are 70ish pages, so I've abandoned it for now. But that's okay, I have a shiny neeeeew comic to occupy myself with.

I redrew Zero G and it looks way better than it did before, it depends if you feel like you've grown since you began that first project and if you can go the extra mile to get it revamped

I didn't redraw any of my early strips... well, that's not entirely true. I redrew the first five or so, but that was before they went online. I haven't redrawn any of the official strips in the archive.

But I did decide to try colouring them instead. I tried it at the beginning of one particular storyline to see if it looked better and whether it took too much extra time. I liked the way it came out (bright colours added tot he light feel of it), and it didn't really take too much longer so I stuck with it. The strips have been in colour ever since.

Before too long though I decided that the first part of the archive now looked different, so I made the decision to go back and colour them. Unfortunately, the first coloured strip was number 161 so I had 160 to go back and do. It wasn't that bad though - just selecting the greyscale shading I'd already done and changing the colours. I did five or so at a time and uploaded them as I went. Took about a month while producing new strips at the same time.

Thankfully I didn't make the decision any later... there's over 600 of the buggers now. :)
