alchan-Looking Outwards 05

I chose this post by alchan(andrew ID leaves their true name a mystery), because I really enjoyed the style of artwork she chose to write about. I’m a big fan of low poly, soft colored, images and animations and works of art, and “Crystal Shore” (February 21, 2017) by Agatha Yu was especially soothing for me to look at. Usually video games are criticized or made fun of for low poly graphics, but in reality this style makes for some very intriguing art pieces and graceful animations. I would agree with alchan in that low poly lends itself to create entirely new art styles instead of video game or true to life graphics. Said simply, low poly images like this one and all others by Agatha Yu have a bouncy, fun, simplicity to them, while also remaining strikingly elegant.
