Hot take: showing your process shots matters way more than the final piece
I was chatting with a curator named Jen at the Denver Digital Art Fair last month, and she straight up said she scrolls past finished works without a single WIP image. She told me she gets hundreds of submissions a day, and the ones with 3-4 progress shots get 80% more clicks from her. It hit different because I used to only post polished final renders, but now I feel like I'm just feeding the algorithm wrong. Has anyone else noticed their engagement jump after sharing rough sketches or layer breakdowns?
