nightlightsukI can't for the life of me remember if I've ever mentioned my old webcomic on here before. I can't find any posts that mention it, but I only had a quick skim through so I might have missed it.
Anyway... between 2010 and 2015, I created a little webcomic called Snowkitten Kids and got about 250 pages done in total. The comic wasn't intended to be a piece of high art, and in that it succeeded admirably. But it was meant to be just a bit of fun to do, and it was about my various "snowkitten" characters as mischevious kids rather than the more usual mischevious adults. (It was also not canon to the main story that I will probably never write, but that's a whole other... story.)
To be fair, looking back through those pages, some of the chapters aren't great, but I'm quite proud of a few moments throughout the story. The final chapter was one I especially liked, as it was a time travel story involving a little dude called Carc, and when I reread it earlier today, it was actually surprisingly complex. So... yeah, as I say, it had its moments. But generally I can't help thinking I can do better.
Early last year, I did have plans to go through all those old pages, redraw a few that were particularly crap, and maybe just maybe get it published via Amazon as a little indie book. I did actually manage to redraw the pages but never got round to scanning them and shading them in, because that in itself is an extremely long winded process.
What I'm thinking now is that selling it on Amazon would make it an extremely niche thing. Even back in the day, it got hardly any views and as a printed version, I don't realistically see it selling anything at all. But what I'm wondering is if, assuming I have time (and that was largely why I stopped drawing it in 2015) I might start with a kind of reboot. Not a total redo of the entire thing, but maybe start again and take a few of the better bits and rework them into a totally new story. And then, perhaps put that up for sale on Amazon. If by some miracle it actually did okay, I might then have the incentive to put the original out as a kind of "extremely humble beginnings" collection. Something to think about anyhoo. =^_^=
