I don't always put up all the artwork portraits I make. But when I do, I prefer to use the good ones.
Bad memes aside, I make more artwork portraits than what goes up on the blog or on Facebook. Here are a few "rejected" portraits that weren't used for one reason or another.
First off, here is a Season 1 teaser. The reason it says "We're Back" at the top refers to the fact that I took a break during Season 1 around the end of 2006/early 2007. It also has the original series name (that only lasted for that season).
Next, this is an artwork for the Season 2 subset "Christmas Countdown". This one wasn't used in favor of another one that depicted Sam and Santa.
I don't have any for Season 3, as there was only one made for that season and it was used. I do however have a few unused artworks from Season IV. The first one was definitely made before the season began, as it features the Season 3 Joel design. The second one shows an abandoned storyline where Sam, Ryan, and Nick receive a visit from their future selves (I just couldn't make that one funny enough for myself, let alone anyone else). Finally, an unused artwork for the subset "The Origins", which feature several different designs than the ones that ended up appearing in the final. Most noticeable are Nick, Frank, and Shannon. Ironically, Rachel is exactly the same as she is in the regular series.
Next, a Season 5 artwork. As Nick's shirt is blank and Ryan doesn't have his goatee yet, this one is also early.
Finally, here are some Season Six ones. The first one was an accident. I literally spelled Comics wrong. Instead of throwing it away and redoing it, I made a joke out of it. This one nearly made it, but was dropped in favor of the one that showed every character with their colored backgrounds. The second was one that I started but realized I had undertaken a drawing too complicated to spoof. I'm talking the Sgt. Pepper album cover. I stopped it before it was finished.
