Incredible Fan Art Shows NickToons in the Cuphead Art Style

StudioMDHR reached a broad audience when it released Cuphead back in 2017, but the community has further grown with the Netflix adaptation released this year. One Cuphead fan has decided to commemorate some of their favorite Nickelodeon cartoon characters by imagining them in the same art style as Cuphead to an impressive degree.

Twitter user CartoonFan18 recently posted four pieces of fan art that put the Cuphead style on classic NickToon shows The Mighty B, My Life as a Teenage Robot, SpongeBob SquarePants, and The Fairly Oddparents. When Cuphead was released, it impressed fans with the «rubber hose» art style used in the game as the 1930s-era aesthetic hadn't yet been used in many games. To fit this classic look, the typically very colorful cartoon shows have been interpreted with dark and dim colors mixed with sludgy green.

Artist Shows What Cuphead Would Look Like if the Game Was Based on Different Cartoons

CartoonFan18's fan art shows each featured NickToon in the Cuphead style effectively, with My Life as a Teenage Robot star Jenny, The Fairly Oddparents protagonist Timmy Turner, and The Mighty B hero Bessie walking around their respective neighborhoods. SpongeBob SquarePants' frame is the only interior as it focuses on his kitchen space at the Krusty Krab, but it still effectively shows rubber hose elements through a smiling oven and take-out window. The background of the My Life as a Teenage Robot fan art shows the trees smiling along with Jenny just like the sunshine in The Mighty B's panel, while Timmy's Fairy Godparents are imagined as happy Disney-style mice in the final piece.

Rubber hose animation has been used for old cartoons like Felix the Cat and several Disney classics popularized in its early years
