Hello. Stop me if there's another discussion about this elsewhere, and can I have the link?

May I please see some high fidelity art that says "fill in the blank" and does it well?

To narrow down my meaning, there's composite art which includes pixelation (low fidelity), there's 'cartoon' which has strong outlines (high fidelity); silhouettes also have a strong outline and no detail but we clearly can fill in the blank. There's also a common application of blurriness, low detail in unimportant elements of a picture such as color bleeding between lines.

I may have solved my own problem, but i burned out thinking about it. As of yet haven't hunted down resources. Anyone who wants to suggest specific artists or online references will be appreciated, thank you.

What I've found to my satisfaction and experimented with is to begin with easy geometric shapes in blocky sketches, then imitate it with low-poly representations of the same scene in Blender to confirm plausibility. That pretty much covers what I was aiming at, I'll also examine silhouetted games again but I find the effect more suitable for projecting 2D images towards a wall.

More of a concept phase atm, but I like the feel, this could be where I start attempting a level design.
