Pixel Project-Minecraft abstract self portrait

Minecraft abstract self portrait

     For this project I used mincraft to design a abstract self portrait of myself in a pixel form. Here is some background of me and Minecraft. There are three modes in the game-Survival,Hardcore, and Creative mode. Most of my experience has been in survival. I knew it wouldn't be the best mode to design. Imagine having limited sources, hunger, and monsters to worry about when creating something unique. Not to mention you could die and lose your items and sense of where your project is on the map. I used creative mode to get this project done-monster would still be there but they won't attack and the player has no hunger meter or health meter to worry about.

I made a empty flat world for the design.

 Please don't pay attention to the green blobs. they are some of the monsters in the game.(Pesty things like to walk or plop all over my design.)

I used these fence panels as a canvas boarder. I used ground lights a measurement tool because it centers right on the square.

Here is a better view of the design:

Here are the measurements:

one light post equals one cube

34 Cubes

40 cubes

34 Cubes

40 cubes

We will need to calculate the mincraft's measurements into real wold units. Take a look at this table down below;

Table by  minecraft.gamepedia.com

1 block or cube equals 16 pixels so:

34 Cubes*16=554pixels

40 cubes*16=640pixels

34 Cubes*16=554pixels

40 cubes*16=640pixels

Inches

1 block equals one meter which equals 39.3701

34 Cubes*39.3701=1,3338.58 inches

40 cubes*39.3701=1,574.8 inches

34 Cubes*39.3701=1,3338.58 inches

40 cubes*39.3701=1,574.8 inches
