All of the choices that I've picked is what i find great although all of the pieces that were made are great, i found this pieces great based on how it caught my attention and how i liked it personally.

Why are you eating that? by TFMHisztikeHighlight

The reason that i like this art is the art style and how he/she drew the smiling eel. Whenever i see this art, i always smile. And based on my artistic side, i find this great and simple. The emphasis, the contrast of colors are great perfectly balanced for an art. Also, it gave me Rick and Morty vibes for some reasons. Overall, it's cool and great that's why i chose this. - Jeybix

Ganda Express by letmenamethisalread

The U10 Geode update has been surprising everyone with aliens like monsters wandering on the surface where sun seems to never set. To me, the u10 update is best represented by how players reacted with people hype about Nitro-Glitterine mining and all the tactics that comes with it. One particular is the Ganda-train with one Ganda leads all the turtle tanks, leaving dents on the surface with the infinite bombs.

I tried to illustrate the player's side response to the u10 crystal combat update with a short sketch of the geode surface as a background with a Ganda and two turtle tanks following. I decided to use the cut and paste method on grid papers with square like drawing to mimic trove's pixelated art style. The ganda and turtles tanks plus the trial are cut out so it can be a popping feature, which looks similar what you would see on a screen. Where the background move while your character is still in a constant animation.

The simplicity really caught my attention. I chose this one because i like how he drew it in a graphing paper. It really emphasizes the fact the trove is a 3D Pixelated game. I like how he made it look like a geometrical art. And also, it shows the "Ganda" and the "Tank Turtles" which made this a great deal for me because I've been grinding nitro ever since just to upgrade my Crystal Gears and this method of grinding which they called "The Train" made a huge impact in me. Overall, this is lit and i hope to see more of this art someday.
