Minecraft as an Art Form

I came across this art by @deathcomequickly and was so inspired that I tried my hand at building it in Minecraft!

Thank you @indigoforiver for once again posing in the build <3

This was my attempt at a scaled-up replica of my family's basement at our old house. It's enormous, so I made sure to hide some fun areas you can explore in the build.

Yes, this is in Minecraft. And yes, the walls are made of melons.

Although I'm more of a puzzle map builder, this was my (third) attempt at building a PVP map in Minecraft! It had six different classes you could play as (Battlemage, Monk, Shaman, Paladin, Assassin, and Illusioner) - each with different play-styles, and I set it up so that whenever you (re)spawned, you'd be assigned a random class (all with redstone!). It prevented spawn-camping and kept the game interesting.

Every building was furnished and decorated - the last picture shown here is an interior from the paladin's citadel.

This build was meant to be huge and is definitely unfinished, but I actually like how it looks here. I was inspired by the Shrine of Worship in the game Shadow of the Colossus when building this, and I was planning on building giant statues on the platforms at the front and inside the structure.

This is another build I themed around the Greek Mythology Mash-up Pack. I think it was supposed to be a temple for Selene, or perhaps Artemis...

Either way, I remember wanting to incorporate water and cool colors into the build. It definitely ended up bigger than I had originally planned!
