Fairy Forest - Skylands

I've been working on this skyland for quite a while now, I actually finished almost all of it a few weeks ago, but I felt like something was missing. Today, I added the finishing touches and I'm quite proud of it! Here's an overview:

It's basically a tiny Birch Forest with a pond, a cake shoppe, tons of flowers, and tons of bunnies. My original thought was to make a sort of Wonderland-vibe tea party, but I couldn't figure out a way to make a really convincing table in small area. 

Here's a view from a side:

A different view:

And a view from the very back:

This is a picture of Mrs T's Cake Shoppe, which I built for the Tea Party theme. I liked this out of all the other decor, so I kept it even when I scrapped the rest of the theme.

As you can see, it is a pretty Skyland, but it look even better at night!

All of the trees have lights in the very tops of them, and the pond has some sea lanterns at the bottom of it. 

There will definitely be more Skylands coming soon!

Village Skylands Update!

~~~

Quick Note! Sorry about such a long delay in posts, I was camping in a different state for a week, and when I finally got back to a place with internet, I had computer problems for another week. :P So, without further delay, here is an update I've been meaning to post for weeks!

~~~

A few weeks ago (^^), I noticed a slight decline in villagers on the village skyland. So, I dropped down below it and saw this:

Stupid villagers.

These are just the ones that were lucky enough to land in the water. 

So, to prevent any further suicide attemps (or just plain stupidness), I added this fence around the whole skyland:

Yup. 

Well, more skylands coming soon!

Sky Village - Skylands

Yesterday, I finished construction on the first Skyland: a sky village! It's features include: a river with a bridge, a blacksmith, a library, two houses and of course - villagers! 

I'm so excited about the Skylands and I think we're off to a good start!

More Skylands coming soon!

Fun New Idea ~ Skylands!

Recenty, I was looking through the Minecraft Construction Handbook and came across a really cool idea: floating islands! I decided to do something like that and call it Skylands. The idea is to make a ton of these little sky islands, each with a different theme, then to connect them with bridges.I've already started one of them, and here it is:

This is just what it looks like before I add the details on top.

All the islands will be totally unique, with rivers, hills, buildings and whatnot. I already have a ton of ideas for the Skylands, and I can't wait to see how awesome they'll be!

Apple ~ Pixel Art

Today's pixel art project is this delicious-looking apple design! It was made to look like the apple item in Minecraft (duh), and can be recreated using the following blocks:

~5 brown stained clay blocks

~72 red stained clay blocks

~6 white stained clay blocks

~34 black stained clay blocks

This design is simple, and I really like making pixel art that looks like foodstuffs, so...

More pixel art coming up soon!
