Topic: Are Preview Post Allowed or Would It Fall Under Self-Promotion, Dood? ╹‿╹)

Posted under General

Considering what "not an ad" content is permitted, I don't see why not.

Some artists post previews that are near-complete or complete-but-censored works with significant effort put in, there's no reason any of those wouldn't be fine. But in this case, I would call what you linked a heavily cropped WIP(still has sketch notes lol) and rules aside I would feel like I was wasting people's time uploading something like that. Quickly glancing at their page, it seems likely they'll eventually post a finished, colored version that isn't defaced by a huge watermark. Better to wait and just post that, no?

Generally previews/crops are deleted over the complete versions, but a lot of time they are not flagged as inferior.

I see! So it's a gamble if they stay up or if they're removed!
Well that's a bummer, Was really hoping I could share
what doodling an animation looks like (Flaws, Notes and All)
while giving peeps a sneak peek at the next doodle here.

Ah oh well, I'll just leave it on my Patreon and Twitter.
(I was a bit worried about it being self-promotion since
it's on the ol' Patreon before anywhere else, Even if it's
only by a few seconds, Dood! ◠‿◠)

Lmao I JUST realized that you are the artist in question. Thanks for posting your work here at all! I definitely wouldn't call any of those three examples "defaced" since the watermarks are diegetic or on the background. If you cover the main subject with it tho I hear the message: "I don't want people to share this" and I definitely don't blame you for that. Imagine if a WIP got traction but it passed by the time the work was done, that would feel so bad.

They're always in the background tho, So if I do end up sharing before then, peeps know

Speaking of, I've got a new one for ya!

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/56329801/

Still working out the formula I like the most, Drawing more attention to
the work and progress feel with an end-of-anime style "Coming Next Episode~!"
flair along with my Max in the corner Going around this go around.

Bit worried that could be called an edit to an already done piece and flagged.
'That justified, Dood?
