#birch-forest

I made fanart of @birch-forest, @bedrock-to-buildheight, and @light-blue-glazed-terracotta!

I don’t think I’ve ever made a piece of professional, serious art ever in recent memory. I’m talking months, maybe even years. So this might be my first one ever :)

I look up to you guys! And I know a bunch of inside jokes about your blogs too! So I decided to make a piece of fanart in which all three of you were in it together!

(Reference sources: birch-forest, bedrock-to-buildheight, light-blue-glazed-terracotta)

I’m really proud of this. It turned out so well; I went in with no expectations and came out having them surpassed.

(Also rest assured, all of these characters in the art are fictional. They represent real people, sure, but what I’ve drawn above are their fictional personas.)

And finally, some close-ups of the art (it’s pixelated in the first place, so I dunno about doing this):

Made this all in two days and with one brush.

i have never been interested in making a minesona before but i saw @birch-forest's minesona picrew and i went feral

Hi yes I love this baby so much

I used @nbee-s // @birch-forest minesona picrew to create him ! You can find it here , it has a lot of cute options and the style is adorable ^^

Eldric is a Netherborn, and shares a lot of similar traits with endermen ! His split side is in fact, an endermen side, so he can vwoop outta situations and has a strong aversion to water. Endermen also seem to be calm and drawn to Eldric when he's around. They often hand him blocks or pat him gently.

I have other Minecraft characters that I'll doodle with him soon cause this is oddly fun lol

Here's the original picrew image of Eldric!:

OKAY I’m gonna make this post now or else I’m gonna forget

(warning: video has flashing sometimes)

This is the speedpaint of the fanart I made of @birch-forest, @bedrock-to-buildheight and @light-blue-glazed-terracotta! It’s a bit cringe in a some places but I wanted to post it for a couple of reasons.

All three of you have seen the art now

The drawing process was pretty interesting in my opinion

This was my first time taking drawing seriously in a long time

So here are some things to notice in the speedpaint.

I started with red lines outlining the three characters I already made in MS Paint

I’ve never made poses before so for birch-forest I made you look like a mannequin before I added flesh and bone

For a brief moment the eyes and eyebrows of birch-forest were drawn with a 2 pixel brush (the rest of the art is with a 3 pixel brush) because I was doubtful over whether I could squeeze in all the details of your minesona in a dramatic pose

(Turns out I could squeeze it all in, and later in the drawing I replaced the eyes and eyebrows with a 3 pixel brush redraw)

Cactus Walker (aka bedrock-to-buildheight) originally didn’t have pricks, that was something I added later when I had already began coloring

The idea I got for light-blue-glazed-terracotta to hold up a sign of themselves was based off of Dream (that was the cringe part 😬)

I couldn’t figure out how to draw your hair and only came back to it once I had colored birch-forest

The stripes on birch-forest’s design were made by drawing straight lines and erasing where they went over the line-art

I used a Google-searched image of “woman with long hair” or smth like that to nail the flowing hair in front of light-blue-glazed-terracotta

The colors used in the background of the artwork were colorpicked from your guys’ blog appearance on mobile (that’s why you can see screenshots of your blogs flash from time to time)

The “black” used in the line-art isn’t actually pure black, it’s a dark gray I colorpicked from a default Tumblr color palette (the difference becomes apparent when you look at Cactus Walker’s pants, which is colored a pure black)

For a time I had this really hideous background that used the colorpicked colors I mentioned earlier, it was just a bunch of colors blending into each other and it just looked like your eyes weren’t focusing

(I later replaced it with the current background, where the floor is a solid color and its opacity is lowered so it’s softer and doesn’t stand out as much)

I got the design of light-blue-glazed-terracotta and her skin from NameMC, it’s a website where you can search up a person’s Minecraft IGN and you get all of their skin and past username info

I realized after I had finished coloring everyone that I forgot the wings and the heart on the overalls of birch-forest, oh my god your sona has so many details how do you remember them every time you draw them

I made the watermark in the bottom left from scratch, as I do with all my watermarks

I realized at the very end that I missed ANOTHER detail of birch-forest, it was the antennae, oh my god how many details does your sona have

And that’s the end of it! Remember I didn’t draw this all in one go, this took several hours over the course of two days

Also birch-forest I’d like to formally apologize and say that I made a mistake in the original post, I didn’t know that your sona represented your actual self, I’m sorry I only found out about that recently
