Pinned thread Art Style analysis in Spongebob and various other shows

Pranks a Lot is the only Markerbob episode where Sandy's treedome appears, and also the only time we can see the treedome in Season 3View attachment 19715

It was also the only markerbob episode in season 3 where Sandy appears. Unless you count the underwater sun sequence in Party Pooper Pants.

I think that in Chimps Ahoy they only recycled the season 1 model sheet for the scenes where he is wearing the water helmet, because he looks normal when he is not wearing it

Season 4 was animated at a higher resolution than season 2-3 were, which makes the design difference more subtle.

I found a strange interlacing in a episode (Bust Your Bubble)

That’s because you watched a bad print of the episode. You don’t get the raw 1080p print unless you pay for it

Yep, I see this weird interlacing also in season 1,3,5,9 and 10

Palebob is also on season 8(dvd)

The SpongeBob on Tour DVD had problems with PaleBob. The Complete Eighth Season DVD box set had SpongeBob with a normal shade of yellow.

regular show's animation used to be so good pre-Butt Dial:




post butt dial is the opposite, looks very lazy:

Kinda like Season 8-9A spongebob

The second half of season 7 had the animation of seasons 8-9a as well.

Correct, starting from The Monster who came to Bikini Bottom

Yes but, That Sinking Feeling have some scenes similar to season 6/early 7

Even after Legends of Bikini Bottom some episodes looked a tiny bit like season 6. I’d say it wasn’t until the tail end of the season that the style was set. Whelk Attack was the first episode to look indistinguishable from season 8.

SpongeBob’s stiffness was a bell curve. The show gradually got stiffer and more on model starting in late season 4, then the on model ness/stiffness peaked in season 8, then the show gradually got more fluent and more off model until we reached what we have now.

Pretty much the butt-dial effect on SpongeBob

Patrick's M eyebrows are visible in "Patty Hype"

They were still transitioning to Z's I guess the animators forgot while getting adjusted to the new model sheets

Imitation Krabs and Welcome to the Chum Bucket have a weird saturated coloring, and coincidentially in both episodes Plankton is the main antagonist

And also every episode that Plankton makes a major appearance in Season 2, is also a markerbob episode

Welcome to the Chum Bucket was GoldenBob for a few frames, Also, don't forget Big Pink Loser. I think it was the first correctly colored SpongeBob episode

 

[SpongeyMind]

SpongeBob has NoodleBob eyes here

MarkerBob looks better then Normal Animation, and has less animation errors
