Unfinished Greg Martin Pacman cover
This is is a full size piece and not the usual prelim or rough. This was clearly meant to have been the final but something went wrong. I'm unsure why it was never completed.
Just realized that the paste ups are there to be removed. He would paint the background over spaces where characters would be and then remove those pastups and paint in the ghost, pacman hand or power pellet.

Greg Martin did sometimes get bugged by stuff that would bother no one else and would just start fresh.
That happened here, on a GB ad, even flintstones 2 he said he did a complete final version with a pink sky (sunset or dawn, not sure) except that was a little different I think as I think the client wanted a blue sky in the end. I wish there was a picture of that Pink Sky version of f2 , or that the original was around.
That's the only one I've ever seen that's unfinished like that.

I'd agree that this one is unique. The only other I can think of right now is an unfinished Atari Swordquest Airword cover but the game was canceled it is nowhere near this level of incompletion. Also exmples like the Atari Home Run cover that which was completed but not turned in because the artist had a problem with it. Neither one of those is close to the results we see here. It is rare to even see a picture of a painting in an incomplete state. There is nothing else that I can think of that is on this scale and was left so unfinished.

The Crazy Horse memorial in South Dakota. Now that thing needs completed. :-)
