I've been thinking a lot about the whole 'WIP' thing. I'm not sure how I feel about them. I mean, yea it's kinda neat to see the creative process on some things. I do like that and in fact sometimes it helps me take notes on different things I can use to improve. In the same light though I don't like seeing it before it's finished. Kinda takes the excitement out of it ya know? I sometimes feel like the finished product doesn't mean as much because you could kinda already "see" it before through the little teasers.

So I was wondering if anyone else had opinions on this. Do you post 'WIP' deviations? Why? If no then why not? What you feel about them? etc...

I do usually, but then they end up getting moved to scraps sooner or later because I either forget about them or lose interest.

I WIP deviations, but only cuz a lot of times I won't finish them for a very VERY long time. ^^; Procrastinators Unite TOMORROW! Lolz, indeed, that's the way my life works. I would probably post less WIPs if I would settle down and finish my work.

I'm always afraid of that too. I currently do have a couple 'WIP' that I just haven't been motivated to finish yet. Though I am trying.

I can see that. I think perhaps that's why I never have. I'm afraid I'll loose interest. Do You think I should post a 'WIP' of my current work?

by trying do you mean picking it up, looking at it, then putting back down

Oooo, perhaps. Its certainly one of those things where you want people to see what your working on, even if it may not be done for quite some time. :3

Most of the time yes, but I've actually gotten some progress done recently. A little, but that's not really the point.
