Rough Draft Studios is a California/South Korean based studio founded in 1991 by Animator Gregg Vanzo. Originally the company started out in a Garage. But while working on The Ren and Stimpy Show, Gregg's wife Nikki suggested to show creator John Kricfalusi about outsourcing to South Korea. Which was how the company's South Korean division was formed.

Compare Production I.G, Toon City, GONZO and Digital E Mation, four companies that also use CGI in their animation, on the Korean side of things, Compare (And contrast) AKOM, their partner on The Simpsons, Madhouse's South Korean Subdivisions DR Movie & Moi; Hanho Heung Up, Sunwoo Entertainment and JM Animation.

Aside from Ren & Stimpy, the company's work includes:

Adventure Time (With Saerom)
The Angry Beavers
Baby Blues
Baby Looney Tunes
Beavis and Butthead
Ben 10: Ultimate Alien
Camp Lazlo
Codename: Kids Next Door
Cow and Chicken
The Critic
Danny Phantom
Dilbert (with AKOM and Yeson Entertainment)
Drawn Together
Family Guy - Did eight episodes of season Two (production order)
Fern Gully (alongside Wang, Hanho Heung-Up, A. Film, Available Light Productions, Saerom, and Luk-Film; among others)
Futurama
Kim Possible (Many early episodes and series finale).
King of the Hill (seasons 1-3 and 5 only)
The Looney Tunes Show
The Maxx
The Mighty B!
My Life as a Teenage Robot
The Oblongs (with AKOM)
The Owl House (with Sugarcube and Sunmin Image Pictures)
Phineas and Ferb
- Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension
The Pink Panther 2 (Opening Titles)
Pinky and The Brain (along with Wang Film Productions and AKOM, as well as TMS for the Christmas Special)
The Powerpuff Girls (Sans pilot)
Recess: School's Out (along with DisneyToon Studios)
RoboCop 3 ("Johnny Rehab" commercial animation)
Rocko's Modern Life (Season 4 only)
Samurai Jack
Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated (Season 2 only)
The Simpsons - Joined during the fourth season, Also worked on the movie
Sit Down, Shut Up
SpongeBob SquarePants
Star Wars: Clone Wars - Note how there's no "The" in the name.
Sym-Bionic Titan
Timon and Pumbaa
Tom and Jerry Tales (some later Season 2 episodes)
The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat

And more, actually. They've been slowly reaching Wang in terms of usage.

Rough Draft Studios provides examples of the following tropes:

Animation Bump: Largely due to their CG. Making them one of the better received overseas companies.
Conspicuous CG: a reoccurring thing with them and is present for most of their shows but incredibly noticable in The Simpsons Movie and Sym-Bionic Titan. However, they are also capable of doing this incredibly well. Scott Vanzo, a relative of Gregg, is the CG supervisor of Futurama.
Deranged Animation: Some of the shows they've worked on (especially Ren & Stimpy and The Twisted Tales Of Felix The Cat)
Medium Blending: Hand-drawn animation and CGI (Either by themselves or, in the case of one Simpsons Halloween special, with Pacific Data Images providing the latter).
Off-Model: Ren & Stimpy aside, these guys are not immune, having exhibited this in several episodes of SpongeBob in their first season a lot, among other shows.
