First of all, my english sucks, as always, sorry 
I’m more an animator than an illustrator, so , as abandoned stuff, I mostly have shorts…
A short film about cars… 1998
SOUL… the sequel… I did an animation: http://www.irtc.org/ftp/pub/anims/2000-10-15/soul.mpg but it was just the beginning of the story… Soul is about a couple that had a crash accident that let her in comma… (here finishes the animation I made) After searching lots of scientists, he found one that was trying to access human mind, so the guy entered the great mind world of her… it was too ambicious for a team made of 1 people, hehe, so I quited after watching The Cell, which was almost about that…
When my computer exploded, I was making a short-film about an old man trying to understand the reasons of Life itself… hehehe, I loose it all
El Anciano, this was a short film about a lonely old man… it took me a couple of months to get the first sequence… 
I “invented” a trick for this… cause I was not good enough to model a decent old man, but the environment, I modeled and texturized the shape… then I rendered the outlines of the shape, printed them and painted them frame by frame with pencil colors, without adding any value, just color… then I scanned the drawings and used the shadows of the 3D model to add value to my animated 2D images… I haven’t see this technique in another place, so I think is a cool abandoned stuff material… it was so hard to do that I stoped it, but I want to continue with the technique.
The story was about this old man in his old brown room, in his chair, balancing, in front, a sphere appears, it reflects exactly the same room, but white instead of brown, instead of he, an old woman… he gets up from his chair and goes walking to the sphere, he touches it, white cross fade to the old man and woman hugged together, the camera rotating, they portrayed in “all” of the painting styles since cavern times… then white cross fade to his eye, boom up, they are sketched in paper, they are both babies, growing while the camera goes backwards them, in the front, the sun, they get old and in an instant they become 2 grey spheres, and everything has thousands and millions of grey spheres, brighter, as they as closer to the white center which was the sun… The camera goes backwards everything ends in the sphere in the old brown room, the room is empty, the spheres hit the ground, fade-out
It would be cool to make this last short, but my 2 people company is a little time-consuming :shrug:

I still like this one, but since my old PC went boom, i lost the original PSD-File. Of course, Anatomy, perspcetive etc. are bad as well, so i never went back to painting it.
This one is definetly gone and ever since that one i dislike doing monochrome artwork ~_~…
All the images were done in 2004, I have been improving a bit since then

Sorry to drag this topic all the way up again, but I thought I’d post a painting that was very, very, very nearly finished - but not quite.
The reason to why I suspect it never will be was that it was on the hard drive that was burned out, and even if I get it up and working again (crossing my fingers here), I have a feeling I won’t be able to get back ‘into’ the picture and finish the last few details. This picture disappearing really irks me.
Not quite as much as my “The Pale Voice”, but it still bugs me.
As for what I liked about it - well, I’ve never really painted any fabric patterns quite so complicated before. I was very happy with the colours (they followed my original idea quite well – 
– and I really liked painting the guy’s face 
Oh well. Maybe I’ll get back to the idea one day, when I’m a better painter, and when I am clever enough to do backups, eh?
What I didn’t like about it and was working on, was her expression (much too bland) and adding ‘something’ to the background and foreground. The picture was honestly just a fun painting, trying out something new, etc… but I still feel it was lacking something. I’ll never know now though.
(CGsociety members might have seen it already as I was posting in progress stuff there, but this is the first time I show it to someone outside of it, I think)

You’re right about the faces not quite working, but the rest of the artwork is stunning to look at. The simplicity of the background really brings out the characters (and yes, the fabric ROCKS!)

Thanks - I spit my orange juice on my keyboard. I know what you mean by it, though 
I really like the idea in this piece, and how you paid attention to the lighting so well. Especially the behaviour and texture of the fabric. An amazing pattern, there, and very well executed.
But perhaps missing this image will give you further inspiration to carry this idea even further? Not sure exactly how, but for artists like you, no image is ever truly ‘lost’, it just may not be around for others to enjoy, at least not in the original form. It’s still in there, just looking for a new way to be seen.

Hey Linda :),
Great rendering on everything once again.
I’m in a hurry right now so I’ll just type it as it comes, so excuse me if it comes out garbled.
Looks like the expressions on her face aren’t working together well enough, adding one could help, but then it wouldn’t be her soul as obciously.
on the close up of her face her ‘eye lobe muscle’, you kow the bulge of fat at the outer sides of the eyes, seem very relaxed in a calm observing pose. Also her eye seems to be turned away distractedly either because of that or for the lack of strain in the eyelids themselves. It could even be that some tear or just more swollen vains for a more reddish tint on some parts in her face could help. I could probably think of some more things to try out, lol, but that’s what I see here sort of.
What strikes me is that she’s scheming to trick the guy into something and then sneers at him as she hasn’t lost yet. But there’s very little fear in her face. She knows what’s coming, but seems rather calm and almost serenely sorrowful. That’s also maybe something to look into.
Just my 2 cents.
Good luck wiht this one. I think it’s really beautiful so far, not something to give up on. Glad you posted it here. Maybe somebody will give you some goo d ideas eventually.

Interesting thread to read. Not only to see some of the great images that other artists have become frustrated with, but to read why they’ve abandoned thier images.
I’ve abandoned more than I could post here. But these are two that I should have finished.
This first one I started when Expose 1 was announced. Like many abandoned images at that time (until present) I became easily frustrated with working with my computer and wasn’t satisfied with the results I was getting with my digital tools. I was a fairly new guy to digital arts a couple years ago, and I suppose I’m just more comfortable working with a pencil and paper.
This image just got more “suckage” as I worked on it and just felt it was better to start with something new. I tried working with it a couple times since then, but I’ve always given up in frustration.
Bunnies! This was originally done for a Poo weekly. I just had fun drawing the aviator bunny and the little kid-bunnies. I really liked this image, but felt that the composition wasn’t working for it. This was pencil on paper and messing with it in Photoshop didn’t even cross my mind.
This one I’ll keep around and maybe pick up on it later. But, most probably I won’t … like hundreds of other sketches I have piled up in a corner of my work area.

Both of those have a lot of potential Kirt. I would perhaps scratch the first one and start again, but the concept itself is very sweet.
The bunnies rock. It should be finished.

Mkay… sorry dragging this post up again, by the way…
This is a fanart of American McGee’s Alice. I was crazy about the game at the time. I worked on this at home and at school, but then one day I came home from school and didn’t work on it. And never have again. I love it, but i can’t work on it anymore… I think I screwed up her face, for one… oh well. Not nearly as good as Enayla or… like anybody, but hey, here you go…

I don’t believe it. The very first two pieces I’m going to post here are unfinished morgue items.
Sigh here they are.
