I believe I have just answered your prayers. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echochrome]LogicNProportion said:A surreal or illusionist style would be fun to at least experience, I believe. Escher-like.
Something that just doesn't 'feel quite right', y'know?

OT: I would like a style done like the previously mentioned Echochrome, though not in Escher style specifically. Personally, I don't want to say since I've really been thinking about it for a long time, and I want to be the one to break it in.

Is upside-down an art style?
If not, a black and white game that randomly switches the blacks and whites

I'd love to see a game with effort put into it but only graphics in MS Paint.

OT: Wind Waker art style was pretty nifty.
personally i like chibi (huge heads, small bodies) art (fairly common on the ds i'll admit) i just really like that art style for some reason or at least more cartoonish as i tire from ultra realistic graphics i see everywhere but the nintendo section (not good since i own an xbox 360 and no wii)
Something like the splash screen to Braid:
The heavy orange and yellow really woks for me. I dunno.
Or maybe an Aeon Flux kinda thing.

XIII style graphics only more detail and nuances.
Graphics that aim for realism age terribly; stylised graphics tap into what our brains want to see not what matches our memory of the real world.
But my most interest is not with textures or shaders but LIGHT, how rooms are lit, transparency, occlusion, reflection and diffusion... light is what can give a scene more depth than even stereoscopic-3D lenses.
But overarching art style =/= repetitive environments. Environments have to be varied, interesting and engaging. Gears of War go so boring because it was endless dimly lit (yet diffuse lighting) worn down and organic areas, so that no level is in any way memorable. Not just how the environment looks but how you move through it. Enemies too MUST be varied in their appearance, movement and interaction (though of course expand on already established tactics of fighting them).
