Yeah, Bastard!! is great. The strange thing about new animes is that they appear to be more colorful but the actual saturation level is a lot lower. It's like pale pastel hell. I watched the Bastard!! OVA recently and, while dark and gritty, the backgrounds and cel-shading are actually very richly colored, much more so than I've seen in any recent anime clips. We are getting into pointless grumbling now though.
Regarding that Toriyama comment, I was just referring to making things more abstract; you know, massive spikes for hair and completely abstracted facial features. Although, I guess the most extreme example of that would actually be Lucky Star.
Regarding the new stuff: I like the shadows, gesture, and curvilinear perspective in dozoff.png; it has a nice lazy feeling to it. Also, what's up with the clawed feet on that sword-girl? Is she a ThunderCat?
Also, there's no such thing as playing too much STALKER. The last landscape study looks dreary enough to be an environment from one of the games.
