Pinned thread Art Style analysis in Spongebob and various other shows

[Original Raw and Uncut]

bro the quality on this video makes it look cel animated

Not quite, the coloring still gives away the fact that it's electronically colored, and unlike the cel animated Tartokovsky seasons, there's no unsteady camera, no wobbly cels, and no cue dots

This pest of the west shot looks suspiciously like season 8

I don't see it, but yeah, the standard defintion toon boom seasons do all have the same color pallet, accept for early season 4

The animation in the Chris Savino era of Dexter's Lab looks creepy to me, the cel seasons look a lot better and more suitable for the show. It's uncanny how new looking the animation was for it's time, at least seasons 2-3 of Spongebob look like they're from the early-2000s

I can't imagine how strange the Savino episodes of Dexter looked on a CRT TV, since that's what people watched them on when they first came out. I did have a CRT TV in my kitchen, but everytime I watched it on that tv, a cel episode was on.

So many different artstyles and too much for me to comprehend

I wonder how season 1's specail effects were made without using computers, like glowing lights, or objects that gradually fade

Sorry for a late reply but it says here in Karen's Wiki page, "In the first season of the show, when cel animation was used, the animators used a green light behind Karen to create a glowing effect on her screen. " so that kind of answers your question

It's pretty simple if you read and pay attention

What do you guys think of this weird bold-lined art style used in certain season 2/3 episodes:




I love how everything is weirdly geometric looking in these markebob episodes. These episodes must've been hell to draw. I've noticed that episodes in this art style have almost no mistakes, and never go off-model. Everything looks so straight-laced, it makes it very fun to look at. I wouldn't be able to draw markerbob to save my life. I nickname these episodes "markerbob", because the outlines in these episodes look like they were done with sharpies and crayola markers. It's ashamed the crew can't do this art style anymore.

Uh what is this thread? Artstyles in different episodes?

I've said this before but I always found it interesting how some of the season 5 models were based on the old production art
