* [http://amomentofarchiesonic.tumblr.com/ A Moment of Archie Sonic] is a [[Tumblr]] site devoted to showcasing Off Model shots in [[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|Archie's Sonic]].
** For a time, ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' took [[Depending on the Artist]] to such extremes that there's a rumor going around that until recently the comic's quality control was turned off to speed up production - though with panels like [https://web.archive.org/web/20140727130033/http://amomentofarchiesonic.tumblr.com/post/15880298049/i-really-really-cant-decide-if-i-like-his-broken this] going from pencils to printing apparently without comment, it's hard to tell whether it's true or not.
== Documentaries ==▼
* Many of the creatures in ''[[Walking with Dinosaurs]]'' and its kin go through some drastic changes in appearance when the shot switches from a [[CGI]] animal to a puppet or an animatronic, or vice versa. The ones that stand out the most are the ''Postosuchus'' with its rubbery head; the freakish closeups of a ''Leaellynasaura'' puppet whose jaw slipped to the side; the ''Smilodon'' who seemingly can't open/close their mouth; and the ''Megaloceros'' that, upon dying, looks like it instantly became some huge stuffed animal toy. Then, there's that insect that goes from being a CGI ant to a live cricket.▼
** Pure CGI goofs include: The 3 year-old indricothere calf that still uses its newborn animation model, even though an other, same-aged indricothere already looked like an adult; and (though this could be intentional) the ''Allosaurus'' at the end of ''Walking with Monsters'' who is at first represented by the allosaur model from the 2001 TV adaptation of ''[[The Lost World]]'' (okay...), but then suddenly becomes a true ''Walking with...''-brand ''Allosaurus'' (phew, that's better). As for various other off-model moments, freeze-framing reveals the animals tend to get heavily distorted during particularly fast movements.▼

Line 273 ⟶ 268:
* [[Mulan]] starts off being drawn with long eyelashes and thin eyebrows, but when she cuts her hair to complete her disguise as a male soldier so that she can join the war against the invading Huns, her eyelashes disappear and her eyebrows grow bigger. When Mulan changes back into more feminine-looking clothes for the final battle against [[Big Bad|Shan Yu]] in the Imperial Palace, her eyelashes grow back, but her eyebrows still remain huge and bushy.

Line 293 ⟶ 291:
* ''[[Jurassic Park]]'''s lead T-Rex has a slightly squarer jaw between the CG model and animatronic.
* In the first scene of the rock scorpion battle in the 2010 ''[[Clash of the Titans]]'' remake. Said rock scorpion's missing part of its tail.
== Literature ==
* The entire body of Toa Vakama on the [http://images.wikia.com/bionicle/images/f/f0/Adventures-4.jpg cover image] of the ''[[Bionicle]]'' movie adaptation novel, ''Legends of Metru Nui'', is seriously disfigured, and the head is especially misshapen. Surprisingly, the two characters in the background are both perfectly on-model. As a comparison, [http://images.wikia.com/bionicle/images/5/50/BIONICLE_2_Lengends_of_Metru_Nui_cover.jpg here's] how he is meant to look, as seen on the movie's poster.
▲== Live Action TV ==
* In-Universe Example: During the "Into the Comics" serial of ''[[Ghostwriter (TV series)|Ghostwriter]]'', the gang is able to identify that the comic they are to analyze for contest clues is, in fact, a fake by noticing differences in the art-style from the previous installments.
* An odd example not involving artwork or animation: in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' serial ''The Power of the Daleks'', the Dalek army is represented by [[Off-the-Shelf FX|Louis Marx toy Daleks]]. The problem was that Marx's Daleks [http://doctorwhotoys.net/marx_mysterious_dalek%20copy.jpg were a subtly wrong shape], which became more obvious when intercut with the three ''real'' Daleks.
* In season three of ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'', Titanus was reintroduced. Though as there was no footage of the character in the series footage was being taken from (''[[Ninja Sentai Kakuranger]]''), Saban used [[Off-the-Shelf FX|the toys of him, the Ninjazords and Shogunzords]] whenever featured. [[Special Effects Failure|Unfortunately, they never took into consideration that the Shogunzord used by the White Ranger in the original was repainted pink for America.]]<ref>It's explained in more detail on the [[Special Effects Failure]] page.</ref>
* [[Second Life]] avatars are frequently off-model, thanks to the long loading times for many sims.▼

Line 313 ⟶ 304:
** Unfortunately, some of that stuff still happened canonically. Vladimir seems to have been [[Killed Off for Real]]. Moira and Louie have been having some sort of light-switch relationship since then. So as long as we have plot coming out of that damn thing, there are going to be people who have to watch it for that material... unless, of course, Gaia has it remade as a manga in their usual art styles (hint, ''hint'', Gaia staff).
* ''[[Mad]]'' used to let several different artists draw the front cover, which almost always has mascot Alfred E. Neuman on it. Once, they let movie poster artist Drew Struzan do a cover, which turned out [http://madcoversite.com/mad379id.jpg nightmare-fuelingly] off-model. [[Sergio Aragones]]' two covers didn't fare much better.
== Newspaper Comics ==
Line 323 ⟶ 313:
* In a couple of ''[[Pearls Before Swine]]'' strips, Rat's nose was much longer than usual.
** Pearls Before Swine also [http://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2012/04/22 parodied this once], in which the colorist deliberately colored the last panel wrong to be an ass to Stephen Pastis.
== Toys ==
Line 334 ⟶ 323:
* Even though this was intentional, the characters in the first three ''Bionicle'' movies (touched upon above) look nothing like their original releases.
* Usually invoked with [[Everything's Better with Plushies|Plush toys]] due to their chibiness. Often shown with a lack of a nose or simplified eyes. Still played straight sometimes though.
== Video Games ==
Line 386 ⟶ 374:
* Burgerpants from ''[[Undertale]]'' is deliberately drawn off model for each one of his facial expressions

▲* [[Second Life]] avatars are frequently off-model, thanks to the long loading times for many sims.

* Parodied in ''[[Buttlord GT]]'':

Line 400 ⟶ 391:
* A number of the ''[[Kevin and Kell]]'' Sunday strips appear to be colored completely differently from the dailies. In addition to the colors appeared noticeably flatter, many of the characters where the wrong colored outfits or in the case of Kell and Rudy, go from brownish-grey fur to bright beige. This has persisted to some of the book covers as well (such as Honeymoon 2.0).
* ''[[Misfile]]'' has a few instances, while most of these are in the earlier parts of the series. Some still tend to pop up, like these [http://www.misfile.com/index.php?page=1774 two] [http://www.misfile.com/index.php?page=1775 pages].<ref>For those wondering, look at Logan's hand.</ref>
== Web Original ==
Line 414 ⟶ 404:
* The entire point of [http://dumbrunningsonic.tumblr.com/ Dumb Running Sonic], [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|in which internet artists animate]] [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|doing an incredibly stupid walk cycle.]] [[Tropes Are Not Bad|The end results]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|must be seen to be believed.]]
* Quasi-intentional in a few episodes of ''[[Extra Credits]]'': occasionally Allison Theus (the main artist) is unavailable that week, and they get another artist to draw it, who will usually have an entirely different style.
