I see lotsa comments saying #SpongeBob is animated "digitally" now... But one look at the hallways of Rough Draft Korea blows that idea away (this is just the tip of the iceberg).

@PaddleSteamer01 Steve Hillenburg came up with the idea for the new look because King Neptune in the movie is a much sillier character than the version in the show. We never want to be limited by what we've done in the past; entertainment & fun are more important than "continuity" or "canon".

@Crimson_Mayhem_ All the magic was really in the rough sketches... Two of these were by Aaron and one where he's coming in the door was either roughed by Steve or Derek Drymon. I had a great time working from their sketches, but the roughs were the heart of it all.

@ArtofSpongebob These were really put together for the crew... So each of us artists could get inspired and challenged by the best poses and expressions of our fellow board artists. Later on, we included them with test reference, but they remain a big part of our internal "artist inspiration."
