When does detailing become too much?

I think Tom is going overboard with his GFX details.
He thinks regular squares and the such are boring.

Do you think his GFX have too much detail, or do you think they look good with the extra detail?

I think they look good, quite honestly. I'd rather see attention paid to refining an image rather than just making it and leaving it as a rough copy.

I like the second, but I personally think the large gold head thingie at the bottom center is too much. If that were smaller/not there at all I think it would look better. So I'm gonna middle of the fence between Yen and Tom here.

The problem I have with it is that I have to push the text further over, to avoid hitting the corner things.
This leaves a big blank spot on the sides .
On the bottom, we have a huge blank space to either side of the mask.

Detailing usually shows that you put a lot of thought into the work you do. The same which applies to images applies to maps as well.
