Hey well it's nearing 1am now and here's the gist of this post:

I used to make a lot of minecraft pixel art, big big big stuff took hours to finish some pieces. I haven't done it in a while and I wanted to do some furry stuff!

So I'm hosting a stream, I'm going to recreate some of ONTA's artwork in minecraft. Feel free to drop by, talk in chat and have some fun.

There's music playing, I'll be talking back and after I'm done the ONTA post I'll take a vote on the next one to make. They're really high quality pieces, not dainty stuff so it might take a while.

ONly reason I feel justified posting it here on the forums is because it's furry based, and building this stuff alone is really boring. so mods feel free to lock the post if this kinda thing isn't allowed but, if not. Here's the link to the picture I'm recreating right now:

And here is the link to the stream if you care to watch me re-create it in minecraft through very detailed pixel art.

EDIT:

There are actually some major stream issues happening right now, every time I bring it up something keeps tearing it back down again. I'll wait maybe 20-30 minutes and try again.

EDIT 2:

Something keeps bringing down the stream every time I try to host it.

So I'm gonna build a bit more, basically finish it. then tomorrow I'll come back here and update when I'm ready to finish it and I'll do it on stream then host the vote for next picture if people wana keep watching.

Sorry :/

recreate it in minecraft

Isn't that voxel, then?

If only one face of the creation is of importance it still counts as 2D.

Isn't voxel typically 3D?

Also, this is what it currently looks like. Tomorrow when I start the stream I'll finish off the tiny bit of the face I left unfinished and then take the vote of what pic is next. http://i.imgur.com/8DfHWHu.png

Isn't Minecraft -always- 3D? ;)

Okay, I agree that it's not voxel, just a masochistic way of doing texture mapping. It's also IMO not pixel art -- looks like a floyd-steinberg dithered reduction of the source image. Which is okay but not what I expect when I read 'pixel art'

Well it is in fact made from pixels. It's the same thing as the silly little megaman pixel arts just much much bigger!

I used to be on a couple servers recreating pictures into large scale pixel versions and I used to get "pixel artist" ranks for it on some servers (you know when creative servers were fun, and had ranks for people who built cool stuff)

It's made from voxels (this is unavoidably true, since that's how Minecraft's rendering engine works. In the case of your screenshot, the fact that it is made of voxels is also visible (edges of the hole)).

I agree that it would functionally be pixel art if your rendering -- pixel colors picked -- was pixel-art (ie. sufficiently structured on a pixel level, which is a pretty low bar that most of pixel_(artwork) tag manages to pass.))

Like I said.. I don't have anything against your rendering, there are a zillion ways to render the same thing and yours looks fine to me . I just maintain that it is not pixel art, which is what I look for when the topic line contains 'pixel art'.

Alright the stream is starting again, hopefully I won't have further problems.

If anyone has a site or something I can use to hold the vote on the next picture let me know here or in the chat. The link is the same, but in case you're too lazy to scroll up here it is again:

Creation is finished

I ended the stream cause there was very few people watching and those who did come left shortly after so.

Unless someone expresses interest in seeing a second piece done I think I'm just done with this idea.

But at any rate, here is the finished piece
