Austin & Jennifer Reboot!

Welp, I've finally gone back and reworked everything on this series.

As I've mentioned several times before, when I created Austin & Jennifer I was totally hyped at the time about finally launching some sort of web comic of my own. So excited that the characters were created in a rush with no development so I ended up with these static characters with no life in them. Because of that, I became very uninterested in my own series and discontinued it altogether.

HOWEVER! I've recently regained an interest in the series! As you've seen already, I've created a neat logo to go along with its revival:
Since I'm planning some sort of reboot, I went back to the drawing board and completely redesigned the main two characters from the ground up! Take a look!
The sporty brother and artistic sister have undergone a massive makeover in both design and character, so now they have more depth in character than ever before. I'm still working on them both, but we're definitely way way way ahead than it was when I canned this project. I mean just look at the new look they have! Way better than before by a million!

I currently do want to bring back the web series, however I'm still unsure whether to continue where it left off or start all over again (both of these options will still keep it as an episodic series.) These are the first two options I have.
The third option, however, sees the series coming back, but instead of being episodic it will tell just one singular story. I'm currently working on this singular story just to see whether I want to fully commit to this option or not.

Whichever option I go with, I'll still have the original comic strips of the series online.
That's all I have for now!

Also, I finally formatted all the comic strips on the Austin & Jennifer comic page here on the blog into a horizontal state! Check 'em out! If I ever decide to delete these old comics from my Tapastic page, they'll always be on this page to revisit!
