One thing I love about art deco is that it is not self-conscious. That's how you can get stuff like this:

(A beard to impress any dwarf! Also, when I first saw it I thought he was zapping the viewer with two lightning bolts but he's actually holding a compass.)

Zeus if he was a jojo character

Isn’t Jesus canonically a Jojo?

Both of these are my favorite art movements, so apparently I'm playing for both teams.

Is there a version of this with more pixels?

*Edit - Found this one:

An important distinction is this is Machine Age Art Deco. Earlier Art Deco was more like tidier Art Nouveau.

supposedly the latter is more specifically called streamline moderne

This is a fantastic perspective I hadn't considered

I don't really know much about art but aren't dwarves more like brutalism?

[–] poppy@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dwarves still have decoration, both in their craft and in their style. Braids, carving, etc. Brutalism does not have the intricate design dwarves seem to. It’s all big and blocky.

It depends a lot on your setting, obviously, but dwarves are specifically known for going above and beyond on craftsmanship.

[–] poppy@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Yeah, at least for the dwarves that I imagine they’re not just about efficiency and quality but they really want things to look interesting and intricate. (Not that brutalism can’t be interesting but it is not finely detailed/intricate like dwarf work.)

Why that n looks like R?

Kobolds are the Monster Hunter aesthetic

[–] Abird1620@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I love the dwarf esthetic
