Thanks, it should only get better from here! (i haven't even introduced any villains yet!)
One bonus of an almost two-year hiatus is that you get hindsight to things you did wrong in the very chapter you're working on (i did something very dumb on page 14 of chapter 4 (and come to think of it, another on 14 of 3!) and totally have a chance to fix it early on now) as well as time to figure out where you're going and how you're getting there.
I've already completely changed the direction the next chapter's going and thought of a bunch of things I need to focus on (working on conveying different bodies beyond just faces/hair, making Feather less of a jerk (or at least so much of a jerk to the point it blows up in her face and she has to work her way back to being sympathetic), a lot of haircuts, and needing to study Cockney slang so James has more than just the accent).
Hanging around scans_daily for the last seven or eight months has certainly helped put some things in perspective, like how I'm now endlessly embarrassed at the little black dress Feather's wearing in chapter 3 (i know it's modest compared to what most comic characters wear, but it's till cheap and ridiculous) and you will never see it in a fight ever again. The big ol' boots will come back some time when she doesn't have an injured arm, but likely in a different form (the heels on them wee much worse in early design), and she'll still have skirts now and again, but never one that would hinder a kick. It's a lot to think about, but worth it if I want to make a better comic.
