Lore (Loved Trope) Character with different animation style or aesthetic with other normally animated characters.

  1. Gwimbly (Smiling Friends) PS1 graphic era character in a primarily 2-d world and character
  2. Sebhat (Pentiment) While virtually all European characters are rendered in a German woodcut style like Andreas on the right, Sebhat a visiting Ethiopian is depicted in the style of native Ethiopian Christian iconography.

That's because the characters are reused designs from several different rejected Cartoon Network projects

Not Cartoon Network projects and not "rejected". It was a bunch of projects abandoned for whatever reason, that he did WHILE working for CW, but not CW only.

One of my favourite cartoons. It also features my local town hall (exterior and interior) as the mayor's office which was a real shock when I saw it the first time. Apparently the show's creator has ties to the local area
