Gonna win this competition with a 128x128 mapart (lying)

Im excited to see what styles and themes everyone is going to use for this! I’ve found that what I have so far is a bit synonymous with my actual artstyle through my paintings just in a more blocky way. Which I did consider just recreating one of my paintings as a mapart but I wanted to make up a new idea :D So taking that into consideration I wonder if others’ entries will mirror their styles as well, assuming they’re also artists.

All jokes aside, I do not think I’ll get top three with what I have in mind. My artstyle tends to sway more abstract and simple in nature and it’s showing in my WIP, and I think most of the time the super detailed works get more hype. But considering this is my first mapart ever I’m more inclined to just try my best at a first attempt.

Assuming discussion is allowed, I’d love to also see what element(s) people are going for as well as their favorite element! Because while my favorite is Earth and having a whole persona based off being an Earth Elemental Elf, my entry is going with element fire (With some themes that could either class as air or earth depending…)

You said your art style is abstract and you’re going for fire, I think that could be a very wonderful combination personally and I believe you can do it! Excited to see your entry and rooting for you rn.

I shall do my best :D Though my levels of abstract vary in my art, so it may not be as abstract as you’re thinking. Or more!

I’m sure it’ll be great either way
