that's the thing tho, what really is art? for example, character design, if you really put your heart into the character, then you want the character to have certain personality, and you want people be able to feel that layer when they look at this character, then I think there is expression in there. whatever it is, without feeling, is dead, feelings are what make something alive, and you certainly want your character to be alive. So in a way, you are being the character that your are designing, and you are expressing certain feelings as if you are the character, does that makes any sense?

now on the other hand, you don't have to put any feeling into it, and you can just look at old games/anime/manga, etc and play puzzle, but is such a pieced together thing qualifies as art? it's brainless, soulless. And the only reason such exist is because of your apartment rent...I don't think I would call such thing art.

expression doesn't have to be deep meaning, i can be something as simple as choosing yellow over black, happy face over sad face....you know, small things that subconsciously simulates your current emotional state. But the most important thing is that there is some sort of feeling existing inside that piece of work, thus, alive.
