Hey wait, I thought a great piece of artwork was never "Finnish'd" but rather; abandoned....
(Har-de-har-har)
I recall doing assistant animation on at least one of Risto's scenes in early 1978 at Hanna-Barbera, as part of the last major chunk of U.S. in-country animation done for series television. Risto seemed to have drawn with a very soft and unsharp brown pencil, but the line of action was all there. Risto would've been quite elderly then, so there's no telling if he drew that scene in good health or eyesight.
