4 weeks of exploring, collecting, combining, and planning, and I finally have my first pixel art on the IC Minecraft server:
This thing is frigging huge:
I didn't realize how large it was until I had almost completed the building and looked down around me:
Pixel art is hard. I had to trek wide to find the blue dye, and to make those 128 blocks of magenta it required 1 blue, 1 white, 1 red, and 1 pink just to make one magenta. Painful.
I used this image as my reference:
Put it into photoshop, I approximated a block size based on how large I felt I wanted it, then built a grid to put over the image. I sampled nearby colors underneath the grid to fill in the blocks, so I could determine which dyed wool blocks needed to go where. Frigging hard, but totally worth it.
