Guess whose turn it is

40s looks more like some late 90s animated disney film. other then that these suck as representation of the decades.

The 90s had a lot of cartoony shows with hand-drawn animation that wasn't movie-quality, but still felt a lot more alive than modern animation. It's sad that traditional animation is dead in the west.

Only 70's Filmation/H-B style is correct. 80's style as Simpsons style is flat out wrong, 90's as McCracken/Tartakovsky is also wrong, 00's not being repped as Hartman style is VERY WRONG, and 2010's style should be repped as AT style since this list is shit.

>50's style

Is that supposed to be Astroboy?

how can he be so ugly in so many different styles?

Bait

60s and 90s are my favs

Much better, thanks.

They literally gave him the shoes from Back to the Future 2

I don't get the purpose of this picture.
Groening and Maxwell didn't have generic artstyles for the time period.

Really digging 70s style

Personally, they should have chose this for the 90s. Even if it wasn't CN incarnate.

That 50s style is so inaccurate it hurts. I know it's supposed to reference Astro Boy but it only references the character itself, not the aesthetic in general. A stocky character like Steven wouldn't have eyes that big or a facial structure like that. And Tezuka's style had the usual 4/5 fingers when visible, not a fucking oven mitt. It's all kinds of wrong.

This seems like the laziest of them all so far

Each time I see someone make some comment or post about Simpsons being strictly an 80s thing, I then instantly know they are too young to know what was going on in the 90s

The Simpsons came out in 1989, why the fuck would the be the defining style of an entire decade. Should've been G.I. Joe, Thundercats, or even Transformers

Hairline could use some work. Steven is supposed to be 14, not 34.

That would require being able to draw something resembling a proportional human figure.

this pic made me look very hard at myself

Man I want my own skull goblet one of these days

This is a a poor attempt because all of the designs are too specific, either imitating one particular artist or one specific character. Like that 70s design doesn't even look like a character from scooby-doo, just Shaggy in particular. Same thing with the 00's, that's just straight up Billy, there isn't even a second example of a character from that time with that type of face it's just him.

more than that he's a 14 year old that you're meant to assume would be younger.

Kinda dig the 40's and 60's variant. They should do this for other shows too.

50s is better

1990 was a good time

No matter what the style, steven is always ugly.

What will 2020s Steven look like?

whats the problem in the animation industry? the gender and race gaps? the wage fixing? the sexual harassment cases? the lifelong debt many students are in? .no . none of that. i think its the little cartoon boy . i dont like the shape of his face

He's gonna hit puberty and then the fucking Greg genes will properly kick in, you'll see. Connie won't stand a chance.

Greg is an obese loser who was made the sex toy of a sociopathic immortal alien specifically because his irresponsibility and awkwardness reminded her of herself. This meme that he was a sexual tyrannosaurus needs to die.

Say what you want about calarts, but I'll take it any day over the flat angular Canadian flash/Butch Hartman styles of the 2000s.

>60's

Just realized he's supposed to be Elroy Jetson. Steven should look more like a Jonny Quest character, IMO.

The Starfire one was the best because it was clear they were making reference to specific shows and not trying to draw the character in a different style

These are lazily done. How about instead of just slapping popular character's faces on a template, you actually try to estimate how the character's face would actually look in that era?

Not so sure 40s Steven would have bean mouth, I have no idea what the fuck 50s Steven is at all, 80s needs to be 90s, 90s needs to be 00s, just get rid of the Billy abomination, and invent something new for 80s

> Defining style of a decade
> Uses the Simpsons for 1980's, a show that came out in December 1989
Who is the retard who made this? How can you fuck up something like that?

Leg day was apparently outlawed in the 2010's. Gotta say 70's looks best. 90's looks fun but loses some impact, looks more henchman than boss. Granted the same can be said for the 60's one.

why do people forever want to argue that Simpsons is an 80s show?

I really don't like it when people do these "generation styles" and then they do something kind of lazy like throwing Jetsons gear on 60's styled Steven because I guess The Jetsons was THE defining cartoon or something? It doesn't come across as understanding the style of that era and just being very superficial.

This one is really good. It actually understands the era and doesn't just throw a Simpsons face on the 90's or draw Dipper but as a lizard in a suit for 2010's.

>80's
>Designed to sell toys
>By far the ugliest and most unattractive one

I feel like I don't understand the toy business.

Ruby Spears/Filmation/HB are all interchangable in that time period

Toys in the 80s were all about details. The more appealing it looks three-dimensionally to a child, the better it sells.

90s is tough because it had an unprecedented level of diversity in cartoon styles. You've got the Warner Brothers contingent, the Rocko's Modern life gross stoner contingent, the proto-2000s Genny Tartakovsky contingent, the ever-present "serious cartoon" contingent with realistic characters, Simpsons was at the height of its popularity... what do you even choose as the most representationally "90s"

Nifty.

Oh and ugly-ass Klasky Csupo stuff

That 90s one is on-point

The 2000s on the other hand had a very easy to define essential style. It's just Clone High

>The Simpsons came out in 1989
The shorts were 87.

It's harder when it's a human character because that sort of removes the big two, Disney Afternoon and Spielberg cartoons pretty quickly.

Which leaves DiC and Nelvana saturday morning stuff, Nickelodeon which runs from Doug to Hey Arnold and Klasky Csupo toons, and Cartoon Network extra simplistic cartoon cartoons.

This is way more accurate than the OP

the body was really bothering me so here is the result of 9000 years mouse-work in mspaint.

Attached: tez2.png (272x304, 34K)

Disney Afternoon was not prominent enough to be called one of the "big two," and Spielberg cartoons featured plenty of human characters

The pics from the OP were a little better months ago when they dd Gumball. But after that it seems like they got really lazy and just drew shit like Quinn Starfire and Simpsons Steven.

These look great. The 80's one looks like he just walked right out of The Halloween Tree.

toys in the 1990's and early 2000's were all about articulation then?

I know that they were fragile as fuck but they had a lot of movement

key thing is not just "how they look when still" but how they look at their most awkward or when actually moving.

the 80's one needs to have framerate issues and canned stuff in order to really be properly set in it's period (unless it's late 1980's and disney)

You were obviously not alive then

>toys in the 1990's and early 2000's were all about articulation then?
oh not at all, they were wrapped around a gimmick

They had to have some kind of special thing like a spring loaded arm, or shoot something from the hands, that kind of thing. Usually at the expense of articulation. It was really rare for a fig to just be a regular figure that only came with a gun or something. They almost always had something built in that did things.

I was. The cartoons everyone I knew watched were Disney Saturday mornings, Cartoon Cartoons, Warner Bros/Spielberg, and Nicktoons

Try winding shit back to 1990-1995 then. Disney afternoon was fucking huge long before cartooncartoons existed or anyone had the channel on their cable. And Nicktoons were a sunday morning only type of thing

I wonder if Mighty Max started this

>toys in the 1990's and early 2000's were all about articulation then?
I would say gimmicks. 90s were about accessories and playability while 00s were about being electronic and interactive.

hooooooly shit who drew this? it's fucking horrible artist clearly has no understanding of character design principles woooooow fuck it's bad WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW

Attached: what am this.png (168x154, 36K)

It's just how thing were after 89-90. Everyone did it, The first TMNT toys around 88 were just regular figs. But the ones after 1990 either transformed into regular turtles, had some wind up spinning motion on the shells, or they had wacky faces if you pulled a lever.

Marvel herles toys did this too. Had a Spider-Man with a stiff left arm that was completely outstretched so it could fit a spring that shot web missiles.

The best any kid could hope for was a gimmick that did not put the character in to a really dumb position or was subtle enough to ignore

ah, I was just a lego type, remember the gimmicks and that megabloks had better figures but overall worse quality when it came to actual bricks

^megaloks eventually had better figures in the mid 2000's, but they had worse bricks and more needlessly detailed/not-general-purpose bricks as well.

TWENTY FIRST CENTURY SCHIZOID MAAAAN

I'd like an 80s Rose, 90s Lapis and 60s Peridot

Why would Cartoon Network official post pics of disney properties?

>There, 20 minutes

and it shows, this is the same shit quality as OP

Your art sucks, go post shit on deviantart and not here

Sort of comes off as people who are either really pedantic or obsessed with the '80s wanting to go "well TECHNICALLY..." about it

And yeah, the Ullman shorts are 100% '80s, but like 9 times out of 10 when people are trying to insist Simpsons is "really" '80s they're including the whole show in that and not those shorts alone

Really don't get it, just all of the popularity is in the 90s. Literally all of it. No one watched the Tracy Ullman show in the first place, or even Fox for the first couple years. It was an obscure network with an even more obscure show that had an even more obscure carton after that. the really wobbly drawn 80s shorts did not inspire anything. And most people never knew it existed until the christmas special came out. And that was December 89.

I think you got captured the style very well user. looking back at my revision, it has more almost simpson like hands instead of tezuka's which have more of their own shape for them. and of course your face captures the feel more than the original artist's head. And the shoes are make a logical fusion between the styles.

You're suppose to keep it in the same pose.

This is literally as shit if not more. The 90s aren't "animation renaissance"
The concept of making something look almost like a hanna barbera character while ignoring the variety of design choices WITHIN the shows, the studio, and more importantly within wider animation over the entire decade is profoundly retarded. Shows like Beany and Cecil, Dudley Do-Right, or Tom and Jerry. And the same can be said for literally every decade in this image.
I can't even tell what shows 1990s and 2000s are even attempting to emulate.
More to the point the descriptions of these styles are plainly stupid. To say 80s cartoons were designed entirely to sell toys not only discredits the work, but has literally zero relevance to the actual style. Even assuming that claim was true, it doesn't begin to explain why the toys were designed with the styles they were, especially considering incredibly different shows like Transformers, Thundercats, and fucking old horse show were all shows driven by their toy lines, and don't make up close to a majority of shows from the decade.

Calling the 90s a reaction to corporate greed is fucking retarded considering Disney was in their hayday of soaking up as much as they could with their IPs, making sure everything they had in their catalogue had some form of animated adaption, video game cartoons were a dime a dozen, the pinnacle of PSA cartoons Captain Planet was made

Seriously though, twhat the fuck is the 2000s even supposed to be? It would have been so fucking easy to just do something anime-esque considering that was at least somewhat popular, it still would be dumb to define a decade of varied content that way but holy shit could they have not done literally anything worse

Yeah, but literally why not just title them after the characters/shows you're mimicking instead of by the year the shows happened to have aired

No but 90s was the era of Disney and Warner trying very hard to imitate their older 40s styles and a large crop of new shows going an extra mile trying to be as expressive as possible.

So making a character look a lot "bendy"er and more expressive than the 50-80s ones makes sense.

40s should have been alien Red Hot Riding Hood

I had all of these but the top row

I like how the first four love it and the last four loath it. Weirdly balanced

I like how none of these look like how Steven Universe looks like right now

>90s was the era of Disney and Warner trying very hard to imitate their older 40s styles
They weren't though, a lot of shows like Goof Troop were animated very similar to their films at the time, which was actually a lot more energetic than Disney was in the 40s
I think this argument can be made for WB, which were releasing shitty copies of better shows like tiny toons, and to a lesser extent animaniacs, but during that same timeframe they were putting out stuff like BTAS, which had a lot of slower more subtle bits of character acting (at most times) but that really just makes my point
Everyone, at literally any point in time, is doing something different, making these broad strokes claims about entire decades is fucking dumb, even worse when their bias towards one is fucking obvious

Not sure about 80's and 90's but that 50's UPA Steven is pretty on point.

this image is garbage and whoever drew it had no fucking idea what they're trying to say. not a single example here is accurate or representative of their era and they completely ignored lineweight which is kind of the whole point of the 90s style. seeing this fuckstick trying to drawing anything like a 30s cartoonist is just embarassing since animators back then actually knew how to draw figures.
