(Almost) Daily MineCraft Pixel Art!

[Schlupi]

Hey guys. I decided since I have nothing better to do with my life that I would start doing Pixel Art in MineCraft.

I wanted to share all of my work with you and I hope you enjoy it. Also feel free to share and of your own pixel art if you like.

I see in your sig.

I'll have another one up tomorrow guys It looks like it will be a tad tougher to do this one...

Why is this here?
Isn't this suppose to be either computer section or art section?

I guess it could be.

But since it is a video game I figured it could be in video game discussions.

Those are awesome!

I don't consider it threadjacking I welcomed other people's art.

I am almost done with my second project... will post it as soon as I am done. this one is a little trickier, I am having a hard time with the hair and bow...

 

[Schlupi]

My second project is now complete!

Mr. Saturn from Earthbound.

Zoom zoom! I can do all for you.

If you guys want a specific sprite done, I can do requests too.

Oh man... I totally want to do a 3D Companion Cube in Minecraft now...

 

[Schlupi]

Lol a Companion Cube would be great.

I am doing Super Meat Boy and another secret one as well.

May not be on here for a bit so the update will come later tonight.

Also, @ThePeon, you have to have an incrediable amount of patience, an eye for detail, and a hour+ of free time.

Did I mention you need s sprite/image? Although that is obvious lol.

nice nice ^^ I always wanted to do pixel art but how do ppls do it ??

This is what i want to know.

 

[Schlupi]

All I do is download a sprite sheet, and find the sprite I want.

I go into Photoshop (or GIMP) and add a temporary layer to the image, a grid over each pixel, you see.

Then I look at what colors are available in the MineCraft palette, and then I start from bottom up placing said blocks on the ground.

It's a simple concept, although it is a pain in the ass to do.

 

[Joe88]

you could work just it out on paper since its just cubes, makes schematics for your project in another words then follow them when building it

 

[Schlupi]

@ Joe88 that works too. I find the GIMP/PS grid method easier, even if it is a scanned image I drew myself I hate drawing grids.

Here is a screencap of me in action:

 

[Joe88]

how do you add a grid in gimp?

 

[Nujui]

I forget, what was that one program you can use to make pixel art?

And this may sound weird, but is there pink in minecraft?
