Art discussion?
There was this post a little while back, where the art was touched on a bit, but I don't think there's been a proper discussion about the changes we've seen in the last two or three chapters.
It's personally been bugging the hell out of me, so. SO, I went back to pinpoint just where the style began to change. Out of curiosity. But then I thought it would be fun to go back to the beginning and kind of catalogue all of the changes.
And... I got carried away. Now I have a B&W picspam of random Allen images from chapter 1 to 197, plus two mini picspams of Tyki and Kanda (because they've been showing up most recently).
I would have done one for Lavi, Lenalee, and everyone else, but they've been scarce as of late and this post is about the recent changes.
(kind of skimped out on Kanda because I was getting tired of c/ping)
Sorry about the poor-ish image qualitly; it was much easier to copy/paste from online scans.
IDK. I really love what Hoshino was doing with Allen around the Ark arc, and Tyki when the monthly installments began with chapter 187 (even though I kind of miss his short wavy hair), and Kanda in that 3rd to last picture up above (chapter... 170?).
What's your opinion? Do you think the change is deliberate? Is Hoshino's wrist injury acting up again? Is someone else drawing DGM?? ... Does it not bother you at all?What is going on.
So... I'll just leave this here. Discuss if you'd like? Or ignore me and look at all of the pretty Allen?
ETA: Forgot to add that I don't mean any rudeness by any of this. I know a lot of us don't like the new style, and that's just our opinion, but there are others who rather like it, or know that it will change as the previous styles have ("so really, what's the big deal?"). This post was meant more for speculation, rather than dissing the new style Hoshino's got going :)

no subject
As for Allen, I actually like how he's been depicted lately! He's still a babyface, but he looks a lot older and isn't as wide-eyed.
I'll agree with pretty much everyone here that Hoshino's artstyle is fluid, and it's just in another transition - I don't really see it as a matter of being "worse" or "better." Even though there were some panels in say - the Timothy arc that were just plain lazy. I don't mind the inconsistency, but there are definitely things I miss. (Again, Kanda's "pretty" stage, the vaguely Tim Burton-inspired oddness)
