Haha, well, something about my comics, especially if you're reading it on Bazzelwaki.com, is that where some artist do daily/weekly drawings, I do daily/weekly clean-ups.
...I should probably start daily drawings though, as well. -_-
I try to avoid this with stories that are done, like the short story Child of Chaos, but with Imprint ch1 I have cleaned it so much that I will likely make an older version of it available somehow eventually. The STORY does not change with these updates, though I might find a better way to tell a certain scene, better word dialogue, or the coloring might be so atrocious I feel compelled to re-color the comic. There are I believe six pages still in imprint like this.
Ash Storm got significantly delayed by real life, and so by the time I got to episode 3, I realized there were all these little things I wanted to clean up about Episode 1. None of them change the story, and almost none of them are re-drawings. Mostly, I cleaned up small bits of the coloring, shading, "word effects", and in the case of the opening, I added a page of what was happening right before Ashlynn's arm was broken, thus letting me have an opening page that is NOT a naked girl, and let me pace her state of "white" better.
I am getting better at not doing this so much, but in my mind none of the comic is "done", until I have the last page up, and can say out loud "I would print this".

Anyways, thank you about the art, and I am really happy to hear you are re-reading it!!
I am working on new content right now, and hope to put up the next episode very soon.
Oh good, I'm not crazy! And I did notice the new first page- personally, I think the original first page pulls me into the story a lot better than this new one does. Being as ignorant as Ashlynn, going from nothingness to terror with no pause, made a very compelling start. Also the page where he's running, struggling to carry her up the hill, is very iconic (at least to me). The added blood spurts are distracting and quite un-iconic.
Other than those two measly complaints, I really enjoyed the revamp. Especially the teasing about the square eyes- cartoons mocking other cartoons for being too cartoonish! SUCH hilarious BIGOTRY. And I noticed the coloring was redone to much more awesome standards.
It'll be a pleasure to read Episode 3 when it comes out.

The red lines though, that's an interesting point. I'll see about that.
I am glad the revamp overall is met with approval. ^_^
I assume you mean Episode 4, and it will be a pleasure to release it!
