Pinned thread Art Style analysis in Spongebob and various other shows

[Original Raw and Uncut]

The washed out color thing is a glitch or coloring era for DVD

The broadcast versions of them still look washed out, My Pretty Seahorse was the last episode to have late season 2 markerbob.

Late season 2 full on markerbob with dull and washed out colors:

Toon Boom is kinda boring because every episode has the same color pallet and line thickness.

Grandma's Kisses and Something Smells were early season 2 noodlebob

2004 produced season 4 looks like it uses Toonz Premium, the higher FPS is the only way I can tell that it was Toon Boom.

No, Algea's Always Greener was actually greenblattsailor

I like how Noodlebob has oval eyes

Notice how Markerbob in season 1 has shadows under characters

Production wise what do you think is the story behind the season 8 holdovers ( Super Evil Aquatic Team Up is Go, Chum Fricassee, The Good Krabby Name, Move it or Lose It, and Hello Bikini Bottom). It felt very weird in late 2012, seeing two new episodes in one night with different aspect ratios. A widescreen HD season 9 episode would air, and then we would get a standard definition season 8 holdover right after.

No the paper is defintely markerbob

That could only be pulled off in cel animation, because the shadows would appear translucent due to the black paint having a higher exposure.

Partially markerbob, the beginning of the episode Spongebob was fully square and not nacho shaped. Squidwards eyelids also aren't markerbob. Also season 1 markerbob counts as normal animation because it's cel animated.

Yeah, it's probably a hybrid episode (ignore sqwideward)

 

[Squidward1999]

Squidward is drunk...

 

[SlipperytheTotodile]

Patricks eyebrows in Big Pink Loser give me season 1 vibes only the eyebrows are curved

 

[Squidward1999]

They are the M Eyebrows if you look closely...

And it was produced in 1999 so it's bound to look like Season 1.

It looks like season 1 markerbob but with digital coloring.
