Talk:Level. 12 That was the Beginning of a Legend Revolving Around a Certain Island and Dragon/@comment-33031677-20180305200016/@comment-26454558-20180308112136

It's called Art Evolution. When Grimgar was first published in mid 2013, Eiri Shirai (the illustrator) wasn't well-known then and only had experience with a couple other light novel series. Along the way, the illustrator also drew few other light novel series, but Grimgar is Shirai-sensei's most famous illustrations at the moment. IMO I'm starting to dig the transformation. I just wish we get to see other characters, too.

You should check out Bara no Maria, Jumonji-sensei's* first light novel series that was illustrated by BUNBUN, which happened to be another alias of the famous SAO illustrator abec. BUNBUN'S drastic art change during BaraMari's publication is really somethin' to admire.
