Are you saying that color tones are indicative of quality?ABlipinTime (post: 1472058) wrote:...
I'm picky. I'd like quality everywhere. I can make exceptions, but even then, I don't want it too hard to look at. Actually, I think I care more about color tones used than actual character design.
I do this, but they bleed into one another so much that a distinction seems...I dunno...less than helpful to me I guess. At least, it doesn't seem productive when talking about the issue I just raised.blkmage (post: 1472924) wrote:There is a difference between art style and character design. Most people here seem to be using them interchangeably.
Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

But, as usual, I am prepared to be proven wrong
Then I guess according to your definition, I am talking about art style, though the distinction seems weird given the base definition of the term "character design." But, I retract my unhelpful comment because I do believe the distinction has merit.blkmage (post: 1472946) wrote:Because when you ask about "old" character designs, you're asking about style. Style differentiates characters from a work as a whole from characters from other works. Character design differentiates characters within a work.
I disagree on two counts:magey wrote:One Piece has awesome character design, regardless of what people think about its art style. Cross Game (and, really, all of Adachi's works) don't have great character design, regardless of what people think of its merits. For instance, in The Tatami Galaxy, I'd judge character design by comparing the main character against Ozu or that guy with the chin, not with characters from other shows.
Otherwise, we end up with hilarious and meaningless comparisons like Hidamari Sketch and Kara no Kyoukai, or LOGH and Kaiba, or Haruhi and 5 Centimeters per Second.
