Favourite Akira Toriyama Art Style

[FortuneSSJ]

I enjoy anyone except his current one.

Not a fan of Tori's new style though. Prefer Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru at this point (who I believe just did the artwork for Xenoverse?)

No. He never did any designs for Xenoverse. These artworks are your typical promotional work done by unknown artist. These arts are too plain to be Nakatsuru's work, although I do like that purple haired female Saiyan model.

This would be Nakatsuru's work:

Does Nakatsuru or Toriyama do the art for Dragon Quest nowadays?

Toriyama still does the designs for Dragon Quest, but I think Nakatsuru stopped after Dragon Quest VII was released back in 2000.

[SaiyanZ]

So what's Nakatsuru doing now, any idea?

Nakatsuru was still doing design work up through Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2 on the DS, which was the last time I actually bothered to check .

I just took a quick look at Wikipedia about DQMJ2 and it says nothing about Nakatsuru.

Dragon Ball, it looks more cartoony and less realistic but it's more unique and fits the DB universe a lot better.

I would say his style during the Neko Majin era was my favorite.

I'm also a big fan of the Neko Majin era artwork. I also really like the Saiyan arc artwork as well. To be honest though, I'm not the biggest fan of the early Dragon Ball artwork as well as the Boo arc artwork. This former is far too round for my tastes while the latter is far too angular. The roundness never really worked with me when it came to Goku as a kid. I always thought it made him look a bit chubby and stubby for my tastes as well as other characters such as Kuririn. The Boo arc is fairly self explanatory. Don't get me wrong though, I really like both styles, they just aren't my favorites when it comes to Akira Toriyama's art styles. What I like about he Neko Majin artwork and the Saiyan arc artwork is that it seemed to be in that happy medium between angular and round. I actually do like the new artwork as well. While I do feel like the heads are a bit big and the characters look a bit anorexic, I still really like it.

I really liked his Chrono Trigger artwork. Where in dragonball was he during that?

I really liked his Chrono Trigger artwork. Where in dragonball was he during that?

Early 1995 and he might have done it earlier so probably around near the middle of the Buu Arc

I'm not a fan of how minus looks. It looks a bit too plain and simple, like it was digitally done rather than hard-drawn with rough pencil and shading. His style also doesn't match his better previous, more extensively detailed illustrations. I prefer his grainer, angular looks over the cleaner ones that look more lifeless today.

Chrono Trigger

That was his Magnum Opus as far as Drawing is concerned
The Main cast of that game just look like 1 in a million...they look instantly recognizable
