What about composition?

Kentaro Miura and Makoto Raiku made the transition alright. Raiku kinda cheats with color pages though. He draws them digitally but physically paints a print.

These are two different styles, retard samefagging schizo. Nihei works alone without any assistants, he can't do what he was doing as a young guy in the 90s. Choosing a simpler minimalistic style is better than trying to do what you can't anymore.
>>
>>287208074
Nihei should at least hire someone who can properly explain how to set up his Wacom

You probably think Fujimoto is a genius artist

Sounds like a good compromise

That's intentional I think. Those doujins with ugly semi-realistic faces had plots based on real life scandals and gossips.

Takashi Shiina.
He's also evolved his art style to align with the current market, which I think it's truly remarkable for someone who debuted in the end of the 80's

It's baffling to me that someone at the publisher's side of things saw this VOLUME COVER, thought there was nothing wrong with it and approved it. I'd understand if something like this accidentally slipped the eyes of editors/publishers in like page 140 of the volume, but this isn't something hidden in the manga. It's literally the COVER.

i kinda feel sorry for him on look back, pretty sure he was venting out his insecurities about how he's not as talented as his peers and was probably practicing a lot early in his career but seeing how part 2 turns out makes me think he's burnt the fuck out or just doesn't give a fuck anymore

They're both ugly as hell. One Piece has always had bad art.

Anyone read it? I dropped ZKC like, fucking 10 years ago or more. Don't even know how it ended. But his art has actually gotten better.
>>
>>287211435
I had never noticed how bad his art had become in his final chapters, before it was handed over to his assistants and got even worse. Guts looks like an elf, wtf
>>
Considering that there is a 35 years gap between these two drawings, all things considered, the degradation is relatively small. And well, to be fair the series is monthly.
Translations never ever.

Shirow was already very popular as the face of 90s scifi before GITS.
Black Magic was one of the most innovative OVAs of the era (he did a lot of the animation layout work himself), and the Dominion miniseries were also big successes, Gainax even tried to use his popularity as a springboard with their Appleseed adaptation but they flubbed it hard.

>>287213787

>>287209095
Usually there's a curve where they get better until they start hitting physical limits, and art quality takes a fall.
Sometimes art changes a lot when they encounter some external influence that makes an artist retool their style to look more like that.

He learned how to draw his own characters better from the character designer of his manga's anime adaptation (Hidenori Matsubara).
Same thing happened with Kishimoto and the Naruto adaptation.

In general good animators are much better at drawing than 99% of mangaka.
