she normalized her artwork a lot overall, and in some cases i think it's been a detriment to her style. i don't think she was ever a bad artist - certainly not comparable to ZUN - and she just did things her own way; i.e. super uguu eyes and ultra-thin, almost inhuman bodies. it was clearly a stylistic choice, but it wasn't always done in that style - her version of Arc looks pretty fucking cool and dignified.

the normalization of her artwork has had its ups-and-downs; i certainly prefer the way she draws bodies these days, but the uguu eyes never bugged me, and i find that her expressions, coloring, and posing were a lot more charismatic pre-FGO. adopting Takeuchi-esque sharp noses is especially disgusting, and in Link, some characters (like Scat or Astolfo) look absolutely horrible or simply bizarre (Casko's rock-bottom nose position frankly makes her look like a horseface)

that being said i only really dislike her Extella output; the stuff that she's turned in for FGO - as well as her sketches - is still pretty alright. miss the old coloring style, though.
