Sometimes it's pretty drastic:
The degree of change can pretty ridiculous, which can be entertaining. I can kinda respect an artist's ability to keep the art consistent through 100+ chapter mangas though.
Thoughts? Also, anyone know why girls cutting their hair when they want to "get serious" is a thing?

I think those that don't change art styles are more of a minority.

As for the girls cutting their hair thing. The long hair is sorta symbolism for childishness, innocence, or purity, and cutting it would mean losing that or an active attempt to get rid of it and be more grown up.

well, if the artist always sees the same images every-time he draws, he will improved.
If he's lazy as "Togashi, Yoshihiro" creator of HXH. well instead of improvement we can see trash drawing :D
The world is cruel, ugly and pitiful. Let's watch anime and make it colorful

I think it's fun a lot of the times when an author makes a drastic change in style for one or two panels to illustrate a point or make a joke or whatever.
As for changing over time, I guess it just happens. In your second example it sure seems like an improvement (assuming the second picture came later) and in the first example I don't think I see it. As far as I can tell the difference in her cheeks is based on her having a totally different facial expression in both panels.
But in general I'm accustomed to reading comics like Fables, DMZ, Preacher and whatnot where it's not rare that the artist completely changes or that there are a few chapters by guest artists, each having completely different styles while telling one continous story so I don't think I'm bothered by it.
I probably regret this post by now.

I think that Ishida Sui (Autor of Tokyo Ghoul) improved so much from Tokyo Ghoul to Tokyo Ghoul:re (*_*) I love his art style

In Ore-sama Kingdom the main girl kept changing from normal size to being a chibi and it was technically canon that she had changed, although more for a joke. On a related note, the second season of Seitokai no Ichizon had a noticeably different art style than the first.

I don't pay much attention to that stuff. Although even I was a bit shocked when I saw the first chapter of Bleach after I started reading from the middle.
I mean, I'm the kind of guy who didn't really notice the change between the first and second season of Oregairu until it was pointed out to me. xD

Then:
Now:
It's a unique kind of story where you start out jealous of his harem-having ability, and end the story as part of his harem, perilously wishing he could fuck you too.

Nah, that's completely explainable: he got plastic surgery thrown in with his magical surgery.

Pretty sure Attack on Titan had a problem with consistent art style but eventually fixed it, so it's often for the better.

Of course, the most logic response to that is that the artist improves his/her drawings with the time, to the point the differences between his artsyle before and after the change is very noticeable (like in the case of Bleach).

Here's an example of my favorite character Conrad
I liked how it improved at first but in the recent years the characters are getting skinnier and somewhat shorter.

Just look at the early volumes of Junjou Romantica or Sekaiichi Hatsukoi. Compared to the recent chapters they look quite derpy.
You can also see this in the anime adaptions. Just compare Junjou Romantica season 1 to the third season in 2015. That's what I call an evolution.

Also, it would not be surprising if assistants had to draw characters when they are pressed for time.

Yea, in D.Grayman, Allen starts off looking like your standard shounen series kid/young teen when you first see him. Now he's a super hot bishounen that you'd see in some shoujo manga.
