Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.

The problem with your question is the phrasing "a previous work or season". A previous work is an Art-Shifted Sequel. A previous season, though, is Art Evolution.
What about the character pages associated with the DCAU? The use art evolution despite being different works.
Hello, I have a question regarding trope entries on the character pages that present how certain characters have altered designs in a new season/series that make them look different from their appearances in a previous work or season. When creating an entry about how a character looks different in a new season or series, should we use the trope Art-Shifted Sequel or Art Evolution? The reason why I am asking is due to the fact that the Art Evolution page has several entries that present how the characters and/or the animation of a series changes overtime and discuss how they look different. There is also the fact that the Art-Shifted Sequel focuses on the differences between the art styles of a series and their sequel/new season. Regardless, it appears that certain character pages like some of the ones associated with Star Wars (some examples being these particular character pages) use Art-Shifted Sequel instead of Art Evolution to describe how certain characters look different in The Clone Wars and Rebels, while other character pages (such as the ones associated with Batman: The Animated Series) use Art Evolution. As a result, I feel confused about the trope that I should include to describe how a character changes in their appearance. I also personally do not believe that Rebels' art style is an evolution of The Clone Wars' art style, which only adds to my confusion. What trope should I use?
