Here are samples from a couple of character designers whose illustrations I find distinctive:

If we are talking about distinctive or interesting, I think of Suoh's style.

The...anatomy and colors is unique in my opinion. It is not quite my cup of tea but I like seeing different games utilize different artstyles. So it is still memorable to me.

Kuroyuki's art too: https://vndb.org/s1580 -- I especially like her art for Period Cube because the colors have a bit more shade? and look less flat (disclaimer: I am not an art professional)

If we talk about contemporary artists otome, I only like Riri (Utakata Uchronia, Piofiore no Banshou).
I love style Kazuaki (Blackish House)
I really like the Uesugi Leiji (Club Suicide) style, it's just unusual for an otome
I sincerely admire Satoi (Diabolik Lovers, OZMAFIA!!, Nil Admirari, Norn9), but as far as I've heard, she doesn't paint anymore. My friends told me that she didn't paint FD Olympia.
I don't like modern novels very much aesthetically right now, as if they don't have the right personality, or love interests often look like children, but in fact I'm just picky.

Yeah, that's right. She's mainly done art for light novels. Too bad she's only illustrated two otome games so far, as far as I know. Her art is dreamy.

Reine Des Fleurs still has one of the prettiest art directions overall for an otome. Virche Evermore is another one that stands out. Easy on the eyes art style for me would be that of Radiant Tale and Wand Of Fortune.

It's a shame about Satoi, Ozmafia character designs were so dreamy and fairy-tale like (fitting for the game themes)
 
My English isn't very good, so I used Google Translate.

I really love the art style of the game *Ken ga Kimi*; it's very unique to me, and I recognized it immediately.

Woah it's quite surprising that Satoi doesn't draw anymore for OlySoi Fd, especially since VNDB still lists her name as the artist of the sequel game, does that mean otomate uses a substitute Iillustrator but doesn't list the illustrator's name 👀
 
Artist Usuba Kagerou who did the art for Variable Barricade! The art style and coloring pulled me in, it kinda reminded me of a webtoon or comic book.

読~is probably my favorite artist. She does the art for Virche, Ken ga Kimi and CrazyCha!n

Satoi is one of my favorite artists - I only played DL because I was enchanted by the character art. Mai Hanamura is another one I really like. There are also the Lovebrush Chronicles artists; the illustras are each more beautiful than the other, but unfortunately I don't know their names. Here are some of the illustras that I think have the most beautiful art style:

Suou!!!
I'm obsessed with their style — the way they balance that cute deformed look with really precise anatomy? And the flat coloring?? I love it so much.

Me too I really love Suoh's art style (stylized anatomy/color) and can't wait for Agents of the four seasons, they're the character designer for that novel/anime. I feel like QMENG's art has a similar style.
 
Off the top of my head, absolutely love love LOVE the Bad Medicine art style 💖
