P.s. Mass Effect 1, Breath of the Wild, & Skyward Sword all have nice art styles. Elder Scrolls IV (Oblivion) has stunning scenery.

Hope you enjoyed the puzzles, and indeed.
This is when 3D art is done right, they look fantastic and detailed.
Excellent rendering and texturing, lovely backgrounds and sceneries.

Thank you, Fluffster. That's really kind of you :')
And I can't take any credit for the art jigidi idea, a few sg users in the discord suggested me to do that xD
Have a good weekend!

To answer the poll: I'm fine with any art style so long as it doesn't interfere with the game-play. For example, I didn't like LIMBO's art style because there was one rope near the beginning that I had to climb to progress, but it blended in with everything else, so I missed it. I didn't even know it was there until after I looked up a walkthrough.

That's very fair.
I'm aware of a few point n click games which made the clickable objects blend so well into the background that people had to find a guide in order to continue. Eg I played The Adventures of Dog Mendonça & Pizzaboy recently, and there was a part with a hidden piece of cloth in the middle of a pile of trash. Without that small hidden cloth, I wasn't sure how to move onto the next part of the chapter and needed a guide. :P

All done. I hope you do more.
I like them both but that Nier Automata is worth a frame.
I wish I could draw like that. No amount of tutoring got me past the potato stage unfortunately. My 8 year old niece thinks my drawing is hilarious, that's how bad I am.

Aw, thank you. That's a big compliment.
I honestly am unsure Ive made art that I like enough to frame... yet, but I hope I can get to that stage someday.

I'm sure your drawings aren't as bad as you claim, maybe your niece is being a meanie :(

I'm a pixel art fan, but games that are pretty with different styles:

OKAMI
Where the Water Tastes Like Wine (It's not for everyone, but I really like it!)
Forgotten Anne
Ori and the Blind Forest (Obvious choice, but how can I not?)
Mineko's Night Market (Why is this game so cute?)
Child of Light (The art is good, and the music's even better IMO.)
Battle Chef Brigade

Someone already said Flood of Light and Sundered, but they're great, too.

Such gorgeous colours and art style!
You have good taste.

I'm not sure I'm quite there yet but that's a goal one day. My country's art market is too small for freelancing alone unless you're semi-famous ;w;
Gotta improve a lot more :')
Thank you for the kind words.

I always enjoy a good jigsaw puzzle :3

I just can't seem to understand why one would call their art "silly".. Isn't it the silliness that makes art so pure? I mean, some art is driven by straight lines, basic shapes and such, but as long as the creator translates his message into a picture or gets to express his style through drawings or similar stuff, I'd consider it art. Each style is different and everyone enjoys different kinds of art, and I simly happen to enjoy yours. Even if I don't like someone's particular style, I usually wouldn't call their art silly.

Late but thank you for the encouragement ;w;
I think I call it silly because sometimes I wonder why people actually like my stuff when its a bit too stiff?
Or there's many other artists that make better art? I am known to be a hard self critique :P
You've been very kind, thank you and all the best!

Thank you Charles!
I feel like all three of those categories deserve a middle rating though :'P
Valiant Hearts has a really great and charming art style that really suits the game. (and the doggos... so chubby and good!!!)
Great arty game <3

You bet. Keep developing and pushing your art further. Show it, talk about it, submit it. Nurture your dream.
Of course, I'm not as adept at motivating as David Brent
