Maybe that is the best way to do it around here: A special gallery where WIPs can be uploaded to and a WIP forum to post WIP threads for feedback..

Maybe a special ebot response to posting the WIP gallery, AND it being a "Private" gallery?  I actually feel queasy about posting 'unfinished' works to the general populace to get crits from people who don't realize the pic is under development.

DA has a special notation for WIPs called 'Scraps' indicating unfinished works.  The gallery could either be: 1) Private for the artist  or 2)Private for the group at large.

For a private gallery open to group members only, I'd prefer a notification on EACH WIP posted to that gallery.  Join the Crit group, you get to post to the 'private' gallery, and you recieve notices when someone posts to it?

It's sort of a wild idea---what do you folks think?
