Pinned thread Art Style analysis in Spongebob and various other shows

[Original Raw and Uncut]

thinking about starting a markerbob animation

Which stage?

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

Band Geeks has gold SpongeBob, As Seen On TV and One Krabs Trash are full markerbob and still have season 3 colour palettes despite being produced before some S2 episodes, I'm With Stupid isn't quite full-on markerbob despite being in between the two episodes mentioned, Sailor Mouth had a bad green tint to it, etc

I think production codes are based on when the episodes are conceived, not when the episodes are finished.

I have many questions to ask the old pokemon anime's animation...

First of all Totodile is almost not the color it should be in the gold and sliver episode "The Totodile Duel" and it stays like that til idk what!

This is normal...

I think it was because the creators were still using cel animation idk

A similar style also managed to sneak its way into the Pokemon Sun and Moon episode Alola, Kanto

Never use this style people.

Spongebob's OG cheeks are restored in season 13! You know we never really had a fixed name for this design like the others. Originalbob? ClassicCheekbob?

 

[Squidward1999]

Here's my name suggestion.

Weirdbob, because the design looks off with the classic cheeks and how this Spongebob is basically just weird...

OriginalBob for many reasons

New animation adjustment

 

[Graperpetual Pretzel]

A lot of episodes of Steven Universe Future are very creepy looking (e.g. Homeworld Bound, the worst episode of the show)

Steven Universe was the last show on Cartoon Network to have art evolution. Nowadays each show looks exactly the same in each episode, like We Bare Bears and Teen Titans Go!

BRUH WHY THE FRICK DO 1980s and 1990s DISNEY PIXAR MOVIES LOOK SO FRICKING SMOOTH!?

Okay im probably over exaggerating

But seriously

Take Disney's Pixar's 1998 title of A Bug's Life for example the animation is so smooth it looks like it was made more of in the 2010s than the 1990s

Possible Predictions?; They predicted future animation? Or animation of those pixar movies back then.

It still looks like it's from the late 90s to me. The lack of texture and the more limited color pallet is a dead giveaway.

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

Some season 2 episodes of Dexter's Lab have a bad red tint.




Other episodes of season 2 have a slight greenish tint, especially the earlier ones:




Someone must've screwed around with the color filter when processing the cels on the telecine.

We don't get this in the Savino era, every episode has the same color pallet, due to those episodes being digitally colored.
