Strange unused background from the episode Snowball Effect

[The Red Lizard]

I recently found this post on Twitter by Adam Paloian, a storyboard artist, and he explains about this strange, unused background that was supposed to be used for the episode, Snowball Effect, but never was. Also, he says that it was a "lost" painting, so this could mean something...

It also turns out that I guess this was supposed to be for Fort Squidward, so this is pretty much a deleted scene. Interesting.

Why couldn't the images be posted here?

There was a cut scene in the Snowball Effect? Maybe they thought that a snowman being on board chained up was a little too much (even though Patrick did that in Suds).

Probably the most interesting deleted scene in show history

Ah, this looks hilarious! I wish it would've been kept. :no:

Oh well, Snowball Effect is still a great episode!

I always wanted to know how Fort Squidward look like inside, very interesting.

This would've been cool to have in the episode.

I always felt like the part with Squidward building the fort was a TINY bit drawn out, sucks we couldn't have some more creativity with it, similar to the creativity of the sand in Sandcastles In The Sand.

Funny.

I would’ve loved this scene, but I can see why Hillenburg or Drymon would’ve vetoed it for being too dark.

Yeah never mind, it's pretty clear on the Storyboard why this was cut, sounds a little threatening "bring them to his snow dungeon".

lol that's hilarious... awesome background.
Interesting how far into development stuff can get on the show before getting cut.

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

I wonder if they actually animated the scene

 

[Sara SquarePants]

Wow I had no idea Squidward was such a deranged lunatic...

 

[Rocky Lobster]

That's too bad, I feel that this would give more effect to Squidward's character within the episode...

"But what if they try to engage in a siege? What would happen then? Now I have set up my INTERNAL DEFENSES against them as well! They'll never make it past my trap machines! But what if they dare climb up the tower? That's pretty simple, simply aim at them as they scale with their ropes."

Now, I know why is this scene deleted (Or scrapped). :|
