May 2022 Update
Sorry for the late update (my catch phrase) but I'm just gonna be dumping a whole bunch of stuff on here in the coming days. I've been pretty busy and it's just faster for me to post everything all at once. Plus I probably spent the first week and a half of the month just doing R&D so it took a little longer to build up momentum.
First of all, I'm glad people liked The Bordello. It was fun to work on and relatively simple, if a little time-consuming. I'm working on another one, so I'll have some WIP materials out soon and explain more there.
I'll also be posting other WIP and pin-up materials pretty soon as well. Plus, I have another animation breakdown that's a little different than usual.
Finally a question: As far as WIPs and previews go, do people have any interest in playblasts? I've seen some artists post them but I've always been hesitant because I legitimately think a bunch of people would mistake them for the final product and get confused. You think I'm exaggerating but you haven't seen my DMs. Maybe if I just watermark them or something.
Anyways, thanks for the support!

Naw, playblast is just to salvate a rush, which wips generally do but since wips are render close to the final and playblast generally is faster to get out, they'll probably demand a playblast every few days next to get to see your placement and thought process
<p style="color: #008600;">Ok, don't worry that you don't post here so often, I'm glad you're trying to do your best.</p>
I don't really think payblasts would add anything for me.
So, those of us interested in technical detail, technique and so on will appreciate playblasts. But you need to do commentary with them. In this case it's probably a lot more work, so I wouldn't do it.
I like the Bordello but I know what ever you do will be great. Not in to playblasts
Post playblasts if you like, but I’d rather wait for the final product.
Appreciate the update. Absolutely loved The Bordello & would love more content in that universe. Possibly more rimming animations as well? 👀 with playblasts, fine with you doing that if it won't be too much a hassle.
No need for playblasts, I’m fine to wait for the real thing.
Playblasts would be cool
Not really into playblasts myself. Would rather just wait for the final thing!
Thanks for the update
I loved the Bordello, I hope there will be more Orc stuff like that in the future. In regards to playblasts I’d be cool either way but I guess if you do them then just make sure you label them as a WIP?
I personally find playblasts interesting as an animator, but you'll definitely need to be prepared for comments from people who don't get it. Even if you label them clearly it will happen, sadly. Go with whatever helps your mental state the most.
Agree.
I’m down for WIP/playblasts if it’s educational
I don't see why not; just slap a WIP watermark and you should be good
Nah, skip the playblasts. Your work is always worth waiting for. The previews and WIPs you have been doing are great as it is. Shorter more frequent mini animations in a finished form are a good idea, and might be fun for you to give you some variety.
