So about the old art

As you may have seen me whining in announcement posts, all of the line art for ST (Skipping Tomorrows) is anywhere from 2-5 years old. Some of it makes my cringe - bad enough to start to try to redraw everything. However, after deciding that ST was going on an extended hiatus (another one *cough cough*) for me to redraw, I got a couple emails from people who asked me not to bother (thanks for the feedback, btw, much appreciated ^_^). I guess the old art didn't bother them, and that was good enough for me. I have all the line art up to chapter 10 drawn (and have had for 2 years now), and that will mark the last of the old art.

So this post is a sort of disclaimer/apology for the current state of things. I'm tweaking the line art a little as I color it (all coloring has been done as the pages are posted, coloring work matches the dates at the bottom of each page) but most of it has been left alone. I'm pretty excited about working on the last 2 chapters (yeah, there's gonna be 12 total, so we're already past the halfway point!) with new everything (updated script, new art, new layout) and I hope to really boost the quality for the final steps of ST. Now ... let's just get through these next 3.5 chapters ...

Thanks for reading! Yeah, I would very much like to scrap and redraw, but ST is very much a learning process for me on lots of levels. Hopefully the last chapters will really demonstrate how much (I think) I've learned along the way.
