Araph: I will try to put that option in, along with the other few things on my to-do list like fish food and fish physics

...like fish food and fish physics

fish food

Aw yis, fish swarms

I will try to put that option in

Super-speed fish swarms

fish physics

Super-speed fish swarms bouncing off of each other

This just gets better and better

Went ahead and finished it:

Really didn't feel like fucking about the head anymore so I just slapped some textures on it and made it look passable at best.

In any case, it was supposed to be a mixed bag, something to keep you guessing as to what the hell the thing is, or to evoke the feeling of something that's fallen from grace or whatever. Also yeah, the shoulders could've used a bit more light but not too much so the contrast remains nice and strong in that area.

[Parsely]

Nice! No complaints, that looks fantastic. Sorry you couldn't manage what you were looking for with the head, I think it looks great.

[coolio678]

Welp, I finally made something. A little something based off of a big something. Namely, a little gargantuan from Diablo. More specifically, the gargantuan that Nazeebo summons as an ultimate ability in heroes of the storm. I started drawing a creep next to him (the gargantuan can pick up enemy creeps to swing at people), but I erased it after failing to get the head right multiple times.

I have plans of vectoring over top of the picture, to clean it up, crop, and color it

After looking at some other Minecraft creations for inspiration, I stumbled across some tips that sped up, and optimized some rather tedious tasks. Thanks to it (Clone tool rocks), I managed to move the Altar of Origins to a better spot, with minimal hassle (besides learning how it reads to/from coordinates for copy/pasting constructions), freeing the last hall doorway. Any future builds will also be far quicker (including plugging coordinates to/from locations), now that we can fill in spaces using coordinates and reference points, instead of manually placing each individual voxel by hand. I enjoyed the aesthetic of a castle in mid-build, and built to code, the first time around, but now future builds won't involve nearly as much work (in case it becomes a means of discouraging future location builds). That also means, I can now precisely, and more quickly, build the Airship Excalibur (which is still just the 100m+ pre-measure bounding box right now), now I have a more efficient means of getting it done; combined with the clone tool, I can even go modular with some designing; and thanks to where I placed the project coordinates (0-point, basically), so many things can be done better now; especially where mirroring it would be concerned (then again, I can always go the lazier route, build half-a-ship, and mirror that from center (via MCEdit), and get the job done in half the time, at least for the exterior).

Spoiler: Anyway, here's what I've been up to lately, thanks to some new stuff I learned about Creative Mode. (click to show/hide)

Using the fill tool, I really sped up the process of filling in the foundation my house sits atop of. After making a boring cube, I just detonated lines of TNT around the edges, giving it a more natural appearance. Especially when rounding the corners off. I also completed the landing pad, and re-directed the teleporter to drop you off front and center. You'll also see that the land also has vegetation on it as well.

Here we have the scale model and the full-scale in the same view. So now, you go to where you see.


And a tour of the full-scale after being finished. You can see the plumbing for the island in view too (Up/Down)ward waterfall and foundation filter. You can even collect and sell the salt that builds up from time to time.





And a view of it from the Arrivals Platform (accessible from house as well).



We also have another new god to worship. Chronos, The Time-Keeper. Pray to him whether you want him to keep track of time or not. When teamed up with Luna or Sol, you can have a perpetual day or night. If you want a new day, just ask him to track time again. Because, even falling asleep won't change the time of day, until he tracks it. Alternatively, he can move forwards and backwards through time an hour at a time; though he's still a bit flawed there, so Luna and Sol will worry about time of day instead.



You can also see that Nimrod also got a minor upgrade of making the lightning illuminated as well. Altar of Origins is also visibly shifted off the main path.

And as we requested, it's High Moon, and Chronos isn't keeping track of time.


Overall, this is quite handy to have for any reason. Especially if you want to work on night scenes and outdoor lighting, but don't want the hassle of calling Luna/Sol all the time. Chronos will keep them busy.

I like that I'm able to replicate some stuff I've had in my sketch book; although being limited to cubic-meter voxels does force me to work around other details I otherwise would prefer to have (I had to re-build the house's architecture a little different from what I had in mind, relative to what I built in The Sims 2 before, to make it work). At least if I already measured things, and noted them, I can at least make them to-scale, and cheat a few finer details here and there.

EDIT:

Spoiler: And here's my map of the environment so far (Chunky is the program I used to get the map built; edited in Paint.NET) (click to show/hide)

Measured by Kilometers. (Central Hub is at 5000 x (72) x 5000), Sand Castle would be (roughly 0, (64?), 3000).

This will come handy in coordinating things, knowing where to explore for particular environments.

EDIT EDIT:
I like how the landing pad looks so much, I might make that the next Hub theme. But that'll be later on. If I get enough stuff made (open to ideas too), then I might even share the world for anyone else to toss in their own stuff. Feel free to reverse-engineer the gods' altars if you like as well, so you know how I made them, and made them work. I love command blocks.

Normally I don't post Homestuck art here, especially if it's an OC and it's a sketch, but I haven't drawn for a while so I might as well throw myself on this sword...

I might get around to adding details to the socks and cleaning up the thing.

That looks pretty nice, actually.

Yeah. The eye looks a bit off, but apart from that it's pretty nice.

If you're fixing it up, have some anatomy critique:
Is the back horn supposed to be coming out just above his eyebrow?
The thighs look to be different lengths.
The pelvis looks a bit off, possibly because of the way the shirt flows.

Do any of you think you could draw a picture of Sherlock Holmes throwing a Pokéball?

I can try. It'll probably take a while.

E: Also, I think everyone would be interested to know which depiction of Sherlock you mean (there are several Sherlock Holmes movies and animations along with the BBC television show feat. Benedict Cumberbatch).

[Tawa]

The TV show one, ideally. I wanted a good filler image for a dramatic reading of a particularly bad bit of fanfiction very loosely based on it.

That is excellent so far, the water texture below the wave works surprisingly well. Really good sense of depth on that wave, too.

also speaking of water here's an eel

Once upon a time, I made a sketch. Today I gave it a massive facelift. I am really proud of it for some reason, and it made green jump up on my color tier list too.
Warning: somewhat massive.
