Hmm, I can see what you're talking about now that it's pointed out. The thing for me is, I hated how his equipment always looked like a different set of artwork to the girl, with the cgi-ish precision on the ship-parts and then the sloppy no-effort person grafted on to them. It's true that this new style he's using is kind of "thick swabs of paste", but I consider it superior because it is applied consistently across the entire work. Put another way, I find his normal (old?) style to be distracting, like a bad collage.

Having everything done in the same style (even if it's not great) gives the art the feel of "wholeness" that I think is necessary for any visual art. It's like the difference between a movie using rubbery puppets or bad cgi. I prefer the limited-movement puppets, because they look more part of their surroundings, even if they don't move as smoothly as a cgi creation, because bad cgi just looks completely out of place.
