Do you have paint.net?

Nope. I do not. Did you see the drawings of Spongebob's designs that I did during the pandemic? It was several hundred pages ago in this thread.

What were some of them? Can you share those?

Also, paint.net is free to download. Here is the link:

They were really bad at drawing characters using the old model sheets, no wonder why they created new ones.

Here's something that's interesting, parts of Squid Baby, which is an HD episode were produced before Hello Bikini Bottom (a 4:3 SD episode):

Here's a model sheet for Squid Baby dated December 9, 2011


Here's one for Hello Bikini Bottom which wasn't shipped until March 23rd 2012:



That could explain the weird airing order that occurred at the beginning of season 9a/end of season 8, widescreen episodes premiering on the same night as 4:3 episodes. They likely made the season 8 holdovers 4:3 on purpose (despite HD episodes already being produced) to keep them consistent with the rest of the season.

Even Patrick-Man was made before Hello Bikini Bottom:


I also saw an article on Facebook about Johnny Knoxville being finished recording his lines for Extreme Spots which was in January 2012. I can't find it but I'll dig it up if I can find it

Have you also installed paint.net on your computer? It’s free and easy to use, although for people who have never used paint.net before, it can be a bit difficult to understand.

I will but I don't have a stylus to draw with

Did you see my drawing of SpongeBob at page 302? (it’s the very last post at the page, it’s post #6040, not my ‘Help Wanted’ digital ink and paint recreation) Use it and manipulate the image to make it look like it’s from a specific year.

That's very hard to do, I did see it, I'm better with drawing on paper and not computer screens

What do you think of how there were HD episodes produced alongside the season 8 holdovers?

It’s weird, considering that many other shows tend to start production on a season after the previous season has finished production.

Even weirder considering the fact that season 8 was SD and season 9 was in HD. Makes me wonder if season 1 and 2 overlapped in production during the animation stage. The animation stage is usually very late in the production process.

I don't really think so because if that were to be the case, they probably would have considered animating theme in cels...

Not really. They wanted the entire season to be consistent. That’s why every episode of season 2 is digital. Same reason why every season 8 episode (excluding 175 because it was stop motion) was 4:3.

Well, if I can recall - you did say there was a possibility that the Season 8 holdovers were animated in widescreen.

I do remember we talked about it back when I first joined on here...

Toon Boom has an aspect ratio setting, the staff at rough draft knew to switch it back to 4:3 while they were working on the season 8 holdovers.

Okay, or they just cropped them (unless they didn't and they just left them as is).
