Pinned thread Art Style analysis in Spongebob and various other shows

[Graperpetual Pretzel]

Anyone notice how the pre-movie episodes have better voice acting.

Yeah. Also, sometimes the voice acting in Season 5 can sound kind of hammy.

I thought I was the only one who noticed than in season 5. They also talk very loud in that season as well.

 

[Squidward1999]

Yes, for instance Compare Season 1 to Seasons 6 to 8 or Seasons 11 to 12...

 

[Graperpetual Pretzel]

I made a video comparing the styles.

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

Compare Sailor Mouth:




To Stanley S. SquarePants:




To the Incredible Shrinking Sponge:


Sailor Mouth and Stanely S. SquarePants are only 6 years apart, while Stanley and the Incredible Shrinking are an entire decade apart. Yet, Sailor Mouth looks much older than Stanley S. SquarePants.

The animation changes have gotten less and less noticeable throughout the years.

Did anyone else notice? I I definitely did.Especially seasons 9 and 10. Those could be combined.

Look at Mr Krab's mouth is not properly layered with his shirt collar, this is the only major error I've seen in markerbob.

I can tell this frame is from a markerbob episode, just look at how the lines are drawn. All the black lines are the same thickness.

I never saw that error

Yeah, they were more noticeable in season 2/3 because each art style had varying line thickness and color pallets. Now every episode (athough may have a different art style), has the same line thickness and color pallet.

Season 2 was the most diverse season animation wise. Season 1’s changes are also less noticeable because it’s cel animated.

Is it just me, or does Goofy Scoopers look different than other modern episodes. I don't know what it is, I just can't put my finger on it.

Somewhat. The eyes and mouths are a bit different.

First, there's the frame rate. I don't know what happened, but the frame rate in the first scene is pretty low, especially by SpongeBob standards. Then, some scenes look more like a season 9B episode. And last, the pupils are pretty darn big, not just on SpongeBob, but Patrick too.

Out of all the art styles in the show, I still think markerbob has the lowest frame rate

SpongeBob has his modern design in this scene from As Seen on TV

It’s still markerbob because of the bold red lines. All the black lines are the same width in markerbob too, like I’ve stated numerous times.

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

Season 4-6 of Family Guy is like markerbob, low frame rate and very on model.

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

In Gut Model, the staff of Regular Show seems to still be transitioning out of the season 1-2 style

Does anyone else think spongebob looks like markerbob when hes in the dark

No, because there are no bold red lines. Plus, SpongeBob's legs bend in markerbob. Spongebob's head is also larger on the top and skinnier on the bottom in markerbob. However, I do think the night time scenes in the Lost Matress look like season 3. I think the first few episodes of season 4 used Toonz Premium.
