Now that I can actually 'see' the lion's share of your post, I can properly comment. :c)

It is refreshing to see the various phases of consideration and work that goes into an artist's crafting process - and looking at the final art within the context of every stage helps me to feel that I understand it upon a level beyond just seeing it in its state of completion alone.

This and I personally find the work of art itself to be appealing. This has my vote. :c)
