mostly about texture packs
welp, I decided to not worry about getting stuff done today, all plans canceled due to Migraine... and actually did a decent amount of things anyways?? Go figure.
Practiced my inking, played with drawing with an automatic symmetry thing goin, showed my mom how to play Minecraft (I think that once the 1.3 patch drops she'll really like it- games where killing things isn't too complicated appeal to her,) then worked on one of my pet projects: updating my favorite texture pack to modern Minecraft. It's been basically abandoned for nine months now, but it's the besssst so I've been hacking away at getting the new items and blocks into the same style.
The pack is open source and eventually I've really gotta just fork it on github and share my updates but..... i feel.... really shy about it..... hahaha. I'll get there!!! It's really fun to practice the spriting and stuff though, I'm not so good at pixel art, and improving is cool.
I've messed around with making my own pack from scratch too, but it's a loooot harder to come up with my own style and palettes and worst of it- mob designs. I just have no ideas for those.
I should share my attempts at making a pack based on the Land of Light and Rain sometime too. I've tried my hand at three of the kid's worlds in Homestuck, but the LoLaR texture pack has come the easiest.
Tomorrow I have to make a concrete plan and stream, dammit! I haven't done any in ages, and this commission is perfect for streaming.
For now I'm thinking tackling some coding? That could be good. I have some storyboards to tighten but I don't think I'm on that kind of game today. But I need a new tumblr theme badly.
