This is a version that was printed and then signed by everyone on it.
It belongs to show creator, Craig Bartlett, who shares this in IG a few days ago.

This character, I designed in a personal piece while working on #HeyArnold.
Someone on the crew slipped it into an episode, flashing on a TV screen during a channel flipping scene.
It somehow got nicknamed "Manic Wombat" and became an inside gag to drop elsewhere in episodes.

Packing to move, I just came across this old box of my first animation job.
It has copies of nearly every background, storyboard, and prop that I drew for #HeyArnold in the 1990s.

And early 2000s. I was on Arnold until the very end of production. I think that was December 2001.

Based on my experience at @NickAnimation in the 1990s.
Computers existed of course but you couldn't draw naturally on them. There was no such thing as a Cintiq.

@NickAnimation At the time, computers were used mostly to composite and edit animation instead of shooting on film.
It was the era of transition from cels to digital, but preproduction work was still analog.

In the 1990s on #HeyArnold, I designed Stinky's house, a rustic rural home sandwiched between urban buildings.
A few years ago, I helped design the main house for #BigCityGreens.
Same concept. Different eras.

The quality of backgrounds has really increased in the digital age.
I drew that scene of Stinky’s house on 12 field animation paper with an HB pencil.
It was then transferred to illustration board at the same size before being painted in acrylics.

The pencil drawing was photocopied onto a clear animation cel.
It was hinged to the top to the paint board and carefully registered to the underdrawing.
Then the background was painted.
When finished, the cel was flipped down so the pencil lines showed up on the final art.
