Pinned thread Art Style analysis in Spongebob and various other shows

[Original Raw and Uncut]

Anyone notice how the middle seasons of family guy have bad scaling issues (seasons 4-7)

I just watched Frycook games again, it's full-on, not transit

It's transit. I compared it to a few early season 3 markerbobs, and in the Fry Cook Games, Spongebob's head is wider in season 3 markerbob vs. the fry cook games. Even in My Pretty Seahorse, and that episode was the last markerbob episode to have the season 2 color pallet. At the very least, the fry cook games is the in-between episode that bridges the gap between the middle and final markerbob stage. If you wanna be as official as possible, every markerbob episode from The Bully to Missing Identity looks the exact same, since Pranks a Lot has brighter colors (Which I don't like.....I think markerbob looks weird with season 4 style colors)

A while back I saw a thread on /co/ describing early Season 4 as having an "uncanny" aura around it, and that clicked with me. I was 7 years old when S4 started and even as a kid my brain noticed there was something weird about it. Your thoughts??

BTW, /co/ (or any 4chan board in general) is not for those who are easily offended. I also wouldn't recommend it if you're younger. Very few things are off-limits there.

What would you consider Wet Painters to be, it's a markerbob episode, but drawn in Greenblatt's style

I would called it, GrmarkerBob

How come other shows don't frequently switch styles like spongebob does

Spongeicus would've been a markerbob episode if it were in season 3

Here's another non-spongebob related analysis. Let's talk about how the backgrounds really improved in the later seasons of dexter's lab:

Here's what the house looks like in the cel animated seasons:


Here's what it looks like in the third season:



Here's where the backgrounds really improved, here's what it looks like in the show's final season:

Seems like they went with a far more simple design

If you think the animation didn't change after season 4, You're kinda wrong, the flower clouds are alot less detailed in some season 4/5 episodes, similar to markerbob "Karate island and Roller Cowards"


Some season 4/5 and season 6+ flower clouds

Karate island is basically post movie makerbob

I've noticed that when Dexter's lab switched to digital ink and paint, the inside of the character's mouths became black

I also think the adult party version of ren and stimpy uses digital ink and paint, I can tell by the coloring
