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?
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.
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.)
Come to the elven undergrounds!
Kobolds are the Monster Hunter aesthetic
