Webcomics work that way - quite a few webcomics have been written over the course of many years, and you can see the art style slowly changing and the artist's skill improving.
You don't notice it if you're subscribing/following the comic, until you jump back to an earlier strip and see how much less skilled the early work was.
- ultrasaurus 6y agohttps://xkcd.com/1/ https://xkcd.com/1/ is a great example of exactly that phenomenon.
- teddyh 6y agoIf you want examples, here are a couple: Compare this: (https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3) to this version of the same strip, drawn much later: (https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1601 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1601). That’s the same artist. There was no abrupt change in style, either, the artist’s style just slowly changed over time. Almost as large an improvement can be seen by comparing this first strip: (https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2000-06-12 https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2000-06-12) with the same strip, redrawn much later: (https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2020-07-27 https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2020-07-27). Same thing there; same artist, no abrupt change in style, just slow improvements over time.
