The old art style is better than the new art style

[Metalwario64]

If my tablet pen hadn't broke (the battery tab snapped off), I'd trace these BoG frames and try to make them look like the older Yamamuro artwork.

A few less highlights, slightly more contrast, bit of grain and some different colouring and it's not looking too bad, I don't think (but then I made this so I'm biased )



Skin could potentially be lighter

EDIT: I guess since we're asking for feedback, I'd be interested hear thoughts on mine then.

The old art style had no highlight in the black hair if I recall correctly, but that looks pretty good

in hunterxhunter i cant agree with you because some characters.

but focusing in dragon ball here, yes i couldnt agree more. The old one is the best. But even so the new game intros (UT and BoZ) are there on the top too.
BoG and the last ovas no

The new art style mostly feels washed out, and has been pointed out, is way too shiny and gives off a blurry feel to it.

Here's what I mean, the top image is the original and the bottom is an edit I made showing how I feel it should look based on the old art style:

That Shen Long looks washed out because of the lighting. Dragon Ball Z: Kami to Kami was make on short time table with few talented animators and damned near no budget, it's not going to look great in every single cut. I would think that establishes itself by now.

My bad, I also missed the highlight on his ear. But thanks

If we are speaking about art styles, then of all of them I prefer the one from the early Saiya-jin arc and the ones prior to that (with the round lines).
Going by comparing the new animation to the old one from the anime, I really liked the one from Battle of Gods. Although I prefer the old one, the new one has it's charm as well.
Can't be too hung up on the old times, folk.

Anything is better than YSGAFR art. It looked to much like a Western Cartoon. Also Goku is WAAAAAAAAAAAY to pink in that OVA

OVA - YSGAFR - YO SON GOKU AND FRIENDS RETURN

I must be the only one who belives that the 2008 Special looks leagues better than the Plan To Erradicade the Saiyans (2010) and everything that came after it.
