Thanks very much! I’m hoping Netflix is reading this thread 
I’m currently working on the story as I create images to fill out the world–you’ll be seeing more like these if I live long enough to make them!

I can see time lapse videos being tremendously helpful when artists have a specific technique they want to demonstrate, but there is nothing that would kill off my creativity faster than the feeling of a camera peering “over my shoulder” as I flounder around, looking for the approach that works.
I used to play guitar and was playing through an amp without a headphone jack when I moved into my first apartment on my own. I’d practice every night until the guy who lived downstairs from me once complimented my playing–from that time on, I felt like I was performing rather than practicing and I couldn’t improve because I was conscious of being listened to and got self-conscious about making mistakes.
For me, the final image is the performance in visual art and what you have to do to get there is the practicing/rehearsal that can go down all sorts of dead ends before you get to where you need to be. I was figuring out the metal and all the other textures through preliminary sketches, helmet design drawings, modeling in Blender ,and grayscale paintings. If I started doing that as a “performance” it would kill it off before I even got started.
Sorry for the long-windedness of the reply, but this is something I feel pretty strongly about, not just for me, but for artists in general nowadays.

@CadillacRancher this video might help.
I paint miniatures as a hobby and metallic paints are obvious choice for armor. But some artists apply a technique called NMM nonmetallic metal.

@jimplex I used to feel that way about recording my work too. But I just leave the recorder on and let it do it’s thing and forget about it. After a couple hundred paintings, it won’t bother you any more

For real @Elixiah . I had to tweak the Krita recorder because I was ending up with thousands of images.
Then I’d try to play it back and it would take forever to load. I found that every 75 seconds works best when I’m on a 10 hr project.

I learned the hard way that cropping the canvas is a bad idea during a recording. All the frames before will be distorted to fit the new size.
I think its a wonderful tool for reviewing, motivation and entertainment. To a certain extent the captured images can be used as backup in case you lose the main file.
