History Main / ArtStyleClash

* Seriously invoked in ''Manga/PopTeamEpic'' anime, when diverse styles clashes all the time, since the SD original designs of Popuko and Pipimi interacting with [[{{Animesque}} normal anime characters]] to several art clashing like UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash-like animations, {{Claymation}} and even StylisticSuck (the ''Bob Epic Team'' section) between every gag in episodes.

* ''WebComic/StrangeTalesOfTheDAMultiverse'' is a crossover between different webcomics hosted on Website/DeviantArt, including ''WebComic/TalesToBehold'' (a superhero comic), ''Burst Lion'' (a MagicalGirl comic starring a CatGirl), and ''Mega Mutt'' (a FunnyAnimal comic.) This can sometimes result in jarring contrasts, particularly with Mega Mutt, who has a cartoon dog's head on a traditional superhero body.

** This is taken even further in the issue that takes place during Batman and the Mystery Inc. gang's younger years, in which the latter are drawn in the zany ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'' art style.

* ''VideoGame/HammerBrother'' is infamous in the Mario fandom for Rocket Rush, which has a clash between 8-bit VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 foregrounds with ultra-realistic VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry3 backgrounds.

* An OptionalBoss in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' is Culex. In the Japanese version, Culex mentions that he's a flat, two-dimensional being. He's perplexed why Mario and friends, whose sprites are pre-rendered 3D models, are three-dimensional. Culex himself is a traditional 2D sprite that look's straight out a classic ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'', and is the only character in the entire game drawn like this. The remake makes the clash even more noticeable; Mario and friends are 3D models made with polygons, while Culex is still a 2D sprite.

* ''ComicBook/{{Cerebus}}'' is full of cartoony animals coexisting with realistic humans.
* The Franchise/SpiderMan event ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' and its sequels is about a CrisisCrossover of all Spider-Men from all continuities in danger and some of them killed by the villain Morlun who can travel between continuities to eradicate every Spider-Man in existence. Here are seen almost every incarnation of the Friendly Neighborhood Hero, but the art style is maintained for the non-standard humanoid ones, including ComicBook/SpiderHam, [[Manga/SpiderManManga Spider-Man J]], [[Manga/MarvelMangaverse Mangaverse's Spider-Man]] and [[ComicBook/MarvelApes Spider-Monkey]], as others.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManSpiderVerse''

Certain works, however... well, they throw in as many different art styles together as they can, in the same work, for the '''whole work.''' Sometimes to explain the characters hail from different worlds, so it is a recurring trope in {{Crossover}}s. It is highly likely that this work takes place in a WorldOfWeirdness, so don't question why [[FurryConfusion an anthropomorphic animal is petting a non-anthropomorphic animal]] or why a ten-year old is a PintSizedKid while another one is just [[TeensAreShort slightly smaller than an adult]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'': Downplayed. Two words: [[spoiler: [[Characters/UndertaleFlowey Photoshop Flowey.]]]] An EldritchAbomination who only looks like a mess of parts, using a mess of artstyles not used or seen anywhere else before. The boss doesn't even look like it even belongs in this game (or ''any'' game, really) with only the character's ''face'' reminding what game you're playing.

* ''[[VideoGame/WarioWare WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' has each microgame represented in a unique art style, as is typical for the series. However, the player characters always stay in the same CGI, chibiesque art style.

** ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'' uses an even wider range of artstyles, with significant parts of the movie being set in Gwen's pastel-colored universe, as well as the introduction of Spider-Man India (whose universe resembles ''Indrajal Comics'') and Spider-Punk (who resembles a living photo collage, like a punk album cover, that constantly changes color and form). Other briefly-seen universes include one done entirely in parchment like a Creator/LeonardoDaVinci sketch, one that's BuiltWithLego akin to ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'', and even [[MediumBlending the live-action setting]] of ''Film/SonysSpiderManUniverse''.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' uses different artstyles for characters from alternate dimensions; Peter and Miles use an American comic book style, Gwen has something in between that and a pop-art album cover, Noir uses a black-and-white angular artstyle, Peni is heavily anime-inspired, Spider-Ham looks like he came out of a ''Looney Tunes'' cartoon, and [[spoiler: Miguel O'Hara visits the 1967's ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967 Spider-Man]]'' universe in TheStinger and adopts its art style.]]

* ''WebAnimation/AnimatorVsAnimation'' has cartoonish stick figures on a computer. Also, they explore things from ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' and have come face-to-face with [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] and visited ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokemon HeartGold]]''. And in the fourth episode of the ''[=AvA=] Shorts'', we get to see a beautifully drawn cliffside while six stick figures fight with each other. And sometimes we get live action moments.

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog:'' In most of the earlier 3D Sonic games, we see human characters who look pretty normal [[RealisticSpeciesCartoonySpecies compared to the stylized anthropomorphic characters like Sonic himself]]. Dr. Eggman is also highly stylized, while most other human characters aren't... even when they're his relatives.

* ''WebAnimation/AnimatorVsAnimation'' has cartoonish stick figures on a computer. Also, they explore things from ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' and have come face-to-face with [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros Mario]] and visited ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokemon HeartGold]]''. And in the fourth episode of the ''[=AvA=] Shorts'', we get to see a beautifully drawn cliffside while six stick figures fight with each other. And sometimes we get live action moments.

* ''VideoGame/HammerBrother'' is infamous in the Mario fandom for Rocket Rush, which has a clash between 8-bit VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 foregrounds with ultra-realistic VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry3 backgrounds.

* Queen's music video of "Innuendo" features a combination of rotoscoping of various styles, claymation and usage of historical stock footage, sometimes multiple of them together.
