I’m not sure if there’s a topic on this, but I thought I’d make one.
Specifically, this is for fanart that was available online, but has since been removed. I’m currently looking for piece made for the book “The Tale of Desperaux”. There is a scan of it included in a video reading of the book, but it’s in poor quality.
Hey I remember reading that book when I was a kid! I never thought about the possibility of lost fan art, this could probably be considered it's own minor category.
When I was a kid I would print out decals of video game characters to iron on to t-shirts, and I remember searching for things like Mario and Pokemon to use. Obviously I was looking for official art, but there was a lot of unofficial art that would come up in the results. Specifically I remember there was this one image of Groudon that I liked, he was only waist up and sorta flying through a purple space background.
I actually have no idea how you'd go about finding something specific like that nowadays, or the image from the video you're looking for. It seems like without the artist it's kind of a needle in a haystack situation.
Hi!^_^ I managed to find this illustration in high quality. The author is Nikolay Dyachenko. illustrators.ru/users/nik159 For some reason, this illustration is not in his portfolio. I found it on another site, where pictures of different authors are just randomly posted. For convenience, I uploaded the illustration to my Google drive. drive.google.com/file/d/1fbHIMSTwq2XNRJbgfipC4K3krjI42Wov/view?usp=drivesdk I found several of his profiles, all of them abandoned. But there is an email. ndjatschenko@gmx.de There is also a link to Instagram, I have not checked its relevance. instagram.com/spooky_inks

Oh my gosh, thank you!!!!
I’ve actually contacted the illustrator myself and he said he couldn’t find the original scan. I can’t wait to let him know a good quality version still exists!

Believe it or not, it’s been found. Hopefully that means the Groudon image is still out there, too.
