Changing Artstyle

 Once more: Possible SPOILERS TO LATEST CHAPTER, you have been warned!

Hi everyone! I don't usually post here, just kinda stalk and comment lol.

But I wanted to bring up the latest GORGEOUS new chapter that came out recently!

Or so everyone says.

Don't get me wrong at all, I LOVE the art of D. Gray-man.

It's just that I was thinking I miss the old style,
like
http://onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/60/13/
and here
http://onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/61/02/

Very different from:
http://onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/182/01/
and
http://onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/182/17/

Same Allen, same mangaka, totally different.

I'm not complaining, but I was wondering if people had thoughts. As for me, I think the newer style is much sharper, more bloodier, and my friend says it's much "cooler". But I miss the kinda simpler, hilarious, style of the earlier days. I like these http://onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/82/02/ and http://onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/82/04/

 

Just making conversation. Thoughts? Discuss<3 :D

I haaaate the new style. :(

Especially the new coloring style. Like the cover of the fanbook, for example -- it's just flat-out ugly.

The way Hoshino's taken to drawing character heads/faces lately is very weird; they don't have a sense of proper proportion to them anymore. Komui constantly looks like his head is flat T_T

Agree. Her cg works are really bad T_T;;; And awkward color choices. Her traditional stuff however looks nice.

Ah, flat!! That's the right word.

I've been wondering what you meant by "traditional".

Like... watercolor?
??
or.. older splash pages? -->http://www.onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/33/01

Marker/Ink stuff like the first 7 volumes of the tankouban.
