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.

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 :)

Yeah, I agree about Noah! I just loved it when Hoshino introduced them one by one. I was always so excited, wondering who's next. Now that she simply threw all of them at us, I think it will be somehow hard for me to remember all of them -_-' And Nea... When I saw him, I was like 'now who's that ><' more than 'omg, omg, finally we see him!'

I can't wait what she'll tell us about Lavi as well. We rarely learned something about him besides little hints, he was always in the shadow of Allen and Lenalee. Now it's definitely his turn to shine after Yuu. I hope it won't be as confusing as the whole Alma-backstory >_< (Or maybe I'm just too stupid xD)
