Guide to SpongeBob Art Styles

[adamboy1998]

So it's been a hot minute since I've been on this forum, and saw a thread on the "analysis of SB art styles". I am totally out of the loop on what MarkerBob, CubeBob, NoodleBob, etc. are, so if anyone can post a comprehensive guide on all the different artstyles, that'd be great :)

That would be neat, although there should be a little one for overarching designs, and a big one for very specific differences.

What about the other seasons? Also, can't really tell the difference b/w cube and noodle

Replaced with a better Noodle-bob screenshot, and since season 5 the art style has been relatively the same.

Season 1 art styles blend together in my head because they're all cel animated, making it difficult to tell them apart

markerbob also has three stages: early, transit, and full on:

What I noticed from these pictures:

• Greenblatt-Bob doesn’t appear to have those eyelids with the droopy edges.
• Movie-Bob has some quirky eyeballs. Partially separated and differently sized.
• Classic-Bob has really circular eyes. Very round.
• Whatever season we most see Cube-Bob in often gives him thick black eyebrows.

Why is it called "NormalBob"?

There's nothing unique about the particular design

Any more MovieBob pics out there?

Anyone notice how every episode since season 5 has the same line thickness and color pallet

I would say since season 6, season 5 has had it's fair share of different styles, even though it isn't much

Season 1 has the cutest animation.

All I really noticed is that SpongeBob himself is slightly paler in some episodes of Seasons 2, 4 and 6 (though in Season 4 it's less noticable).

He was definitely very pale in the DVD versions of season 2
