Art style discussion

[tx3]

throughout the years of DB to DB Z Toriyama-san did often change his Artstyle

which one is the best one?




did find the image here on the forum

[DBZAOTA482]

Saiyan and Cell arcs look the best to me. All of DB Part. I is close second with the Boo arc at dead last. Most of it looked lazy... to the point even Toriyama-sensei himself mocked it once.

That image is missing his style in the early Kanzenban volumes which I love.

aren't thoes like the 04's?

[Doctor.]

Yeah, I made a thread about this before The art style I like best are his Saiyan-Freeza (89-90) ones. It looks the most appealing to me, after that, he starts getting sloppier. His Neko Majin art style (2005) looks really good as well.

as for me 87 and 94

worse or beter say less compelling might be the 88

[shinmaru]

It's hard to choose between them, but I'll give it a try.
For DB it's 85,88 and for Z 91,92,93

[Lord Beerus]

King Piccolo arc, Saiyan arc and Android/Cell arc Goku look the best to me.

i am still trying to get used to this artstyle

[Tzigi]

93-95 hands down. There's no better Toriyama art then end of Z Toriyama art (at least in my opinion). The current Toriyama art makes my eyes bleed.

[Vegitofaxx]

My favorites are 89', 95' and 05'

the new Style works for Dragonquest ..not so much for Dragonball

Honestly, I think the thing I have most issue with in his newer artwork, aside from the anorexic proportions, is that he uses such overly thick outlines, and it makes everything look way more cartoonish than it should.

In general, his art styles from the original run of the series were one of the main appeals of the series to me back in the day, and his newer style just doesn't capture what I originally loved about his work.

also less muscle and they look like the shrunken

but its not a bad art style ..it's just dont fit to Dragonball

but! i like the coloring so much now

[SSJ God Gogeta]

Cell arc is his best work (IMO).

[Chuquita]

1988 easily. I love that 23rd tournament art style.

[Vegitofaxx]

As for the worst... I think that's 92'...
It just looks to sloppy and the faces are too sharp compared to what Toriyama's capable of.

[Attitudefan]

88-90

Those are the epitome of Dragonball.

[GokuRules987]

89-90 looks the best for me!

Thats because it was apparently reported that Toriyama was still using ver 1 Photoshop. Which someone should have already upgraded it for him, it would make his job much easier and make his art look better.

87-91. What's not to love about these muscles?
