[Squidward1999]

It supports the fact that Season 8 could have been the first to integrate widescreen into episodes...

When do you think season 8 finished production?

 

[Squidward1999]

Probably sometime before Season 9 began (so Late 2011 to Early 2012)

I would say around February 2012.

 

[Squidward1999]

Yeah probably...

Wonder when Season 10 started production (my assumption is early to mid 2014)

Much later that that, season 9b began production in late 2014. SpongeBob You're Fired was completed in late 2012.

 

[Squidward1999]

So probably late 2015 then?

 

[Graperpetual Pretzel]

First instance of palebob since the show’s been in HD.

Doesn't seem like palebob to me, looks normal. Sorry for the late reply

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

So probably late 2015 then?

I’d say so.

 

[Graperpetual Pretzel]

Quite shockingly, this facial expression came from Season 1. And yes, it does look incredibly weird.

That’s season 1 Sailorbob

 

[Graperpetual Pretzel]

What's Sailorbob

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

What's Sailorbob

The Art style that’s used in Salior Mouth, where SpongeBob has very broad shoulders.

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

When Mr. Krabs is drawing the ghost, there's unusually quick movement for markerbob

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

Season 5 Krabs in markerbob.

 

[season2ftw]

I saw Life of Crime listed as an early markerbob episode, but looks like they used the transition markerbob design in a few scenes.....

These two screenshots from the wiki in particular don't really look like stage 1 markerbob to me

Early markerbob has rougher edges, yeah it's inverse of late-season 2, where it's that sub stage where it's not transit anymore but not yet full on like season 3 is.

yeah, early markerbob is the one that looks the most like season 1, but it's my least favourite stage
------
I think the markerbob stages should be split into these to to make the major stages slightly more specific:

Prototype:
Hooky
Karate Choppers
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II

Early (very similar to season 1 except digitally coloured):
Bossy Boots
Life of Crime*
Big Pink Loser
Imitation Krabs
*Life of Crime uses the transition markerbob design in a few scenes

Transition (the lines on SpongeBob's body are less rough, but he's still asymmetrical and rectangular):
I'm Your Biggest Fanatic
Dumped
Shanghaied
Pressure
Welcome to the Chum Bucket

Transition 2.0 (this bridges the gap between transition and full markerbob stages):
The Fry Cook Games
I'm With Stupid

Full Markerbob version 1 (can often be distinguished most easily by season 2 colour palette but with SpongeBob being proportionately square):
As Seen on TV*
SpongeBob, Sandy, and the Worm
One Krabs Trash*
Squid on Strike
SpongeGuard on Duty
Snowball Effect
Can You Spare a Dime?*
My Pretty Seahorse

*darker season 3 colours

Full Markerbob version 2 (cooler colour palette, slightly revised design):
The Bully
Krusty Krab Training Video
Squilliam Returns
New Student Starfish
Wet Painters

Full Markerbob version 3 (SpongeBob's inward facing cheeks become way more common):
Missing Identity
Mid-Life Crustacean
Krabby Land
The Camping Episode
Pranks A Lot

 

[SlipperytheTotodile]

Grapey seems to specialize in Mickey Mouse art styles so i can do Blues Clues which has endless art styles


Blues Clues's art styles






CrayonBlue is what i call this one its what Blue looked like in 1996 through 1999

PuppetBlue is what i call this style it was rarely used in the main show but it was mostly throughout in Blue's Room

NewBlue is this style its Blue's current style in Blues Clues and You!

SpongeBob is the only thing in "The Play's The Thing" that looks like this is from a different season

Squidward and Krabs look a bit pre-movie-ish, actually
