Low-poly art has definitely been getting more popular over the last few years, which I only realised after a few of my friends started getting low-poly video game character tattoos. But with that said, the vast majority of the low-poly art I've seen has been digital. There's nothing wrong with that, and I've loved scrolling through endless works from a huge variety of talented creators. However, the moment I laid eyes on the work of Lasher, a UK-based oil pastel artist, I knew I was in for a treat.
The first piece I found from Lasher was a low-poly Chao which popped up on my TikTok feed, which I immediately fell in love with. The second I played Sonic Adventure DX on my family PC back in 2004, I became slightly obsessed with these little creatures and each time I see them in any form, be it digital or physical art, clothing, or even something as simple as plushies and figures, I form an instant connection with it.
