Always bugged me that Shulker Bullets and Wind Charges have a 3D model, but Ghast fireballs and a few others don't. So, here's my take on a fix for that! #minecraft #blockbench

An item of a Minecraft fireball- a grey sphere with dark orange veins of fire in it- alongside a cubic 3D form of it.

A last-minute post for #mcartday of a new mob for my #western #minecraft mod. The skeletal Bandits have found a new ally... the Lasso Spider! This hat-wearing arachnid uses its webbings to skillfully spin loops to ensnare victims and foes, and drag them back to be robbed. Carries skeletons too! Eek!

Various shots of a dark brown spider done in the Minecraft artstyle. It has a thicker body than Minecraft's normal spiders, with a tan head and a hat with spiderweb around the brim. Its abdomen has webbing wrapped around it.
In the corner, the spider is depicted with a skeleton on its back dressed in bandit attire. The skeleton is pointing, likely to indicate the location of unwary travelers or innocent caravans to rob.

FLDSMDFR, Flint's bizarre food-making gadget from Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs! I'm a fan of the film so I decided to try modelling it for fun. Might do some animations but for now it looks fine. Posting for #mcartday, done using #blockbench in the #minecraft artstyle. #cwacom #fldsmdfr

A model of the FLDSMDFR from the film mentioned in the post, done in the Minecraft style. It has a white blocky body with a colander for the top and various greebles, a screen on the front displaying a simplified burger, and orange stripe patterns around it.

An isometric of the previous model, showing off the back and the disco ball inside.

Couldn't get a good screenshot of the back of the thing so I tried my best.

The FLDSMDFR in its 'evil' look, sporting a grey body with red patterns and an ominous eye for its screen.

Get ready fer a wild time, and test yer aim with the Piskul! A ranged weapon favored by denizens of the west, firin' 6 nuggets at yer enemies. Very proud ta announce that, in collaboration with a pardner of mine, you can wield it yerself in-game! Give it a shot: www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc...

A showcase of a Minecraft model of a weapon shaped like a gun, but made of a strange skull with a handle. The molars are replaced by nuggets of various types, and the jawbone pulled back like a hammer to knock them out.
It fits 6 "bullets", as it's equivalent to a 6-shooter pistol. The showcase displays the model from various angles along with a 2D sprite showing it from the side. In the center is Steve in grayscale apart from his eyes for a cool dramatic effect, wielding it, and in the top right him in color sporting a cowboy hat in a standoff against a skeleton in bandit clothes also wielding a Piskul.

An ancient Egypt-themed monster for a mod I've been working on, posted for #mcartday! This is the Serpopard, an uncanny fusion of feline and reptile striding the desert sands, its elongated neck and tail swaying eerily. Unnatural...

A Minecraft-style model of a catlike creature. Its body has a shape like a leopard, with yellow fur and dark spots, but it has a pale scaly underbelly. Its tail is thick with green scales like a snake, and its neck is very long and curves around. Its head bears long fangs.

Another image of the cat-snake monster. This one features it rearing up to face another beast. This creature has dark grayish purple skin and a skinny body with visible ribs. Its face has a long snout twisted into a grotesque snarl with glowing red eyes and small ears, and its front legs bear long claws. Its tail is long and thin with a fang at the end.

Some spawn eggs I whipped up for #mcartday! Mobs are for a Western-themed mod, I'll showcase the mobs in the replies. #minecraft #aseprite

A set of six pixel art Minecraft spawn eggs. The top left has a mottled black shell, along with a poncho and a small hat. The top middle is skeletal, sporting a bandana and vest along with a hat, and spurs. The top right is an Enderman, but with a poncho, hat, and spurs.
The bottom left has scaly patterns and a rattle and fangs, the bottom middle is like a villager but without the monobrow, a fine mustache, and apron. The bottom right has black and white feathers, a bald head, and a pointy beak.

Some frosting I did for a #minecraft project, posting for #mcartday! Some of the stuff spread on blocks, along with a tasty swirl. Delicious!

An isometric render of Minecraft blocks made of chocolate cake, with pink frosting on top, dripping down the sides. Layers of it can also be seen piling up.

A single block of cake with frosting on it. A cone-shaped swirl of frosting is on top, made of 4 flat planes to form the shape.

Zombee, an undead insect for a bee-themed mod.

Tried to make this one look like research notes. Not as happy with it as I am with a previous work of a different mob from this mod- will post that one soon...

A showcase of various angles of a Minecraft-styled bee creature, but with green and dark brown stripes. Its eyes are dark and its fur tattered and hanging, with a gloomy color overall. It has 2 large arms and a giant pin through its body like a taxidermy bee.
Text around it describes it as if they were notes by an explorer, taking notes of the pin and noting how it feels no pain, and lacks a stinger. They seem worried about the dark magic that must've been used.

In the bottom right there is an image of 3 Zombees in front of a bee with some purple fur and a pointed hat with broomstick-shaped antlers, labeled as the Beewitch. The writer questions if her defeat would free them.

Isometric view of previous conceptual color pallets. I wanted it to have a very grimy, gloomy undead look.

Eight images of the Minecraft-styled undead bee, with isometric views of the front and back of 4 different textures. One is a warm yellow and brown, the next similar colors but more faded and muddy, the third green striped with dark green, and the fourth the same but with dark rusty brown stripes instead, and a darker pin.

Just the Beewitch. May give her a post of her own, the cauldron was for her previous function as a buff-casting mob.

An image of a Minecraft bee creature with a purple fluffy body and 2 short arms. A faded purple pointed hat sits on her head, brim above her purple-eyed scowling face with 2 antenna shaped like broomsticks.
A miniature cauldron floats next to her, with a stick inside it.

A metal blockset based on the material seen in th' cookin' pot in my previous post, showcasin' fer #mcartday. Tarnished Iron is a blockset akin to copper or iron for yer worn, run-down, or rusty creations. Part of a western project fer #minecraft I been workin' on.

Image contains a few blocks done in the Minecraft artstyle, of a brownish colored metal. Seen in isometric view. On the left is a block composed of 3 vertical plates, near it is a grating of several vertical and horizontal bars, with a flat section of bars below it. To the right is a door with a barred window and a deadbolt.

Another image of the brownish metal, this with 5 blocks. There's the block with 2 vertical plates (the base block), one with a small grate/drain pattern on it (Chiseled), one split into quarters with 2 quarters split in half, and two hollow grating blocks. These are alternate variants for the grate block, I've not decided on which. The top one was based on the Copper Spleaves texture from a joke snapshot.

Some of the vertical plates and flat metal bars, plus planks of dark oak wood.
It has a bars variant like iron. Unsure why copper didn't get one but Tarnished Iron has one.

A door and a trapdoor made of the same metal. Each is displayed twice, one with the deadbolt slid open and one with it closed.
Tarnished Iron doors are unique from both wooden/copper and iron doors. When unpowered they're locked and cannot be operated by hand, but when powered they unlock and can be opened and shut by hand. This is also indicated by a texture change showing the deadbolt moving.

When wanderin' through the wilds, on horseback or with yer own boots, yer gon' to get hungry fer somethin' hearty. Thankfully, the camps of bandits or cowboys all got a nice pot of Chili over the fire. Yer local bartender might be able to prepare one to sit fer a spell, too.

A pot in the Minecraft artstyle, made out of brown metal. Inside is a red stew made of a simple blend of beans, meat, and tomatoes, with some spices and onions sprinkled atop. At a slight angle.

3 pixel art items also in the Minecraft style. On the bottom is a design for a 2-D version of the previous image, both with the pot empty and full of chili. Above is the chili in a bowl, ready to eat.

This is an altar. An altar to an old god. A god of corruption and decay, a god of entropy and ancient forces beyond the Overworld. To something vengeful. Something seeking to bring about the End of all things. Altar block for an upcoming project! Posting here for #mcartday! #minecraft #blockbench

A view looking at the front of an altar made of purple and yellow stones, with obsidian and greenish metal. A sinister face with 3 eyes is etched into the front. Two horns are on the sides of the altar with purple and black flames flickering on them.

An isometric view of the altar. The greenish metal forms a flat plane on top of the altar, perhaps where an object is meant to be placed...

Small rocky cousins to the landlubbing Creepers, these aquatic nuisances cling to rocks in the water. They'll idly snooze until a boat or player passes nearby, and wake up to pursue and blast them to Davy Jones' Locker. Sailors beware the Barnacleeper! #minecraft #mcartday

Minecraft render of a small scene composed of a few blocks of stone. There are two creatures clinging to blocks, with 4 brownish bodies, small limbs and a grey creeper-like face on top with their eyes closed. One emits bubbles. Another creature swims to the upper left, this one with its eyes open.
