I am interested in making large and intricate designs myself, and I'm really interested to know roughly the process you go through to make your sculptures. What do you use primarily while building? Worldedit? How do you plan a project? Do you draw what you are going to build first, or make any other notes than the rough sketches you have posted? Do you look at pictures online of what you want to build while you're building it?
For my first big build I've been considering modeling it in blender(a free 3d modeling program) and taking screenshots from different angles and pixelizing them to give myself an idea of what I could do. Good idea?
World edit doesn't make nice looking organic sculptures since it is way too boxy. Even if you use worldedit spheres, it still looks not like.. organic.. I got different planning on different scuptures, some with planning, some not, some with real model, some with just figment in my mind. Using a reference from 3d model sounds a good idea though.
I've wanted to do something like this for months but I didn't think it was possible. Thank you for proving me wrong. I doubt I have the initiative required to do it but I would love to see someone recreate D'ni from Myst. Unfortunately there isn't much information to go off of aside from the text but there is this interesting map.
Awesome! do you take requests? if so can you make me ridley from super metroid but in 3rd person view?
Interesting creature but no I don't take requests. I just draw what I feel want to draw.

Never able to play myst since it doesn't work well on my computer. A series of underground cities? :smile.gif:
How do you plan these out?
It is all different technique but I found out having a 3d object of the subject, make skeleton first, and great patience help. My best sculptures usually those that took more than 10 hours.
The two headed dragons is pretty cool. Imagine hollowing it out and living in it! lol that would be epic
I've been a fan ever since I saw you post your two-headed dragon, and those beautiful Chinese dragons (I love the shot of the server where they were surrounding a pagoda or other kind of Chinese palace).
That Phoenix vs Sea Serpent is the best yet! It's simply mind-blowing. They look like they're going to start moving at any moment. The Phoenix' wings and tail are perfect.
You rock beyond the ability of mere words to convey!
Can I get some close ups or perhaps a schematic of the junk ship, I want to build my own and would love to see how the sails are pulled off.
Go to the server, then type /town spawn cerberus, and after you out from the town hall, go right a bit, and turn left when you see first branch. Keep moving forward and you will be able to see it.
OMG ROSE! I had no idea i could get SCHEMATICS!!! for your creations. and i didn't even know you built MORE then what I've seen on the server!!! I'm getting these!!!
