That's an interesting question, RK. Perhaps the answer comes down to artistic temperament, identity, and goals. And this applies to all facets of making, whether renders, modeling, or simply discussion. Suppose it's very person specific. Totally. Theres also the question of will a freebie work as product. Like my recent stuff is often semi-political or word play seasonal toons, while fun and loads of people enjoy them I know they wouldn't sell. I've also not released 'product' for a few months, am working on a long winded one, but mostly I've felt that releasing freebies works better for me right now. Yea sure that can badly affects sales, but with arty things it's not always about the cash. It's also about what you what to say as an artist. Or even just have fun :)

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
