Which do you like better?
« on: May 27, 2013, 06:38:14 PM »
WIP threads where you get to see the journey to the end project or just seeing the end results?  Also do you like seeing a lot of different projects in one thread or each major project having it's own thread?  Just wondering cause there is a lot on my work bench and it is fun to share as I make progress on em but do not want to make too much of a pest of myself.

I dig the WIP threads. clearly, as they are my main vehicle for customer communication. plus if you know the progress of a project it's much easier to be patient about it.

I love seeing WIP threads!~ Interesting to see each layer as its done. And I also prefer one project per thread!

while i enjoy WIP threads, i dont like when they drag on forever. id rather just a few pics of certain milestones (such as finished body coats, wip of sculpting and finished hair) than the hour by hour process.  :lookround:

WIP threads where you see the journey. I love see the progress of peoples work as much as the finished product.

I love WIPs, it's fun to watch people's techniques and how they approach their projects and handle problems when they crop up.

I don't mind multiple threads, tho putting them all in one is fine too, maybe just put the different ones under different spoilers for easier following. =)

I love seeing wip's. I think it really makes you appreciate just how much work goes into all these spectacular customs. The one poniesyeah did for sds as example - this really showed me what is involved time wise and artistically in creating such magic :) and totally impressed me!!! :biggrin:

I like WIP for big projects, but updated in larger bunches. Definitely do not need an update every time you put one plug of hair in or whatever. For more simple customs I prefer just the finished project. I think it adds a nice mystery when you don't know exactly how they did it!

Love WIP threads. One can learn alot from jsut watching someone else work! I find them very useful and fun to see how others tackle different things. I also prefer separate threads for each project.

Good point.

I like both types of threads. Seeing the WIP is cool, but sometimes just seeing the end product is cool too.

Fun to read everyone's thoughts on what they like to see.  Sometimes having a WIP thread does allow other folks to see something you might be missing since you are up close and personal to your project.

I like an occasional WIP thread, but I think it can be a touch overdone at times.  Overall I guess I'm a fan of the finished product.
