This Culture is a Vulture - WIP

So guess who got a working rig :3

For a reminder: aggressive_poetry on Instagram made this and I may be slightly curious about it and am channelling that into a skin design. They have a DTIYS rn and even though this isn't drawing, I still want to have a play.

Go check em out if you have an Instagram; tell em The Eye Lady sent ya (if u wanna be funny and confuse the hell out of them :3)

The biggest upcoming issue will definitely be the wing rig, as the version I have has not been updated since 2022... fun :D

I could write an essay on how the MCRP community fundamentally screws over pixel skin artists

I hate sitting in like 4 different corners and feeling like NO ONE actually cares about my work

GUESS WHAT I DID SUCKER'S?!

CREAMS IN MINECRAFT! I PUT THEM ON THE SKINDEX AND EVERYTHING! mainly because I didn't know how to get the images otherwise, but now you can go use glitches in Minecraft while looking like your favourite glitchy W.I.P! I don't really play Minecraft anymore but it fits cream too much to not do it

@oceandiagonale I DID IT! They're in Minecraft and they regularly accidentally find the glitchy outlands within like five minutes of starting a new world, Marnie is impressed and concerned

(Post fall) Ancient builder x Illager toxic old man yaoi when

WIP, was planning on doing a ref for every human race but a mutual of mine practically begged me to post these two on their own so you’re probably gonna see this image again. Colors are not yet where I want them to be so I’ll definitely go over it a few more times.

I’d like to take this moment to point out that the way you summon allays in legends, where you play as an ancient builder, is pretty similar to the way evokers summon vexes.

Design / AU rant below cut, as always.

This one’s a little worse written than usual, I’m just rambling.

I practically have an infinite amount of Ancient builder designs because I draw them differently with every piece depending on how I’m feeling, but for this design I got more genuinely speculative and turned on my pattern recognition.

Steve and Alex are canonically 6’2, both of them, and all undead mobs seem to be the same height, if not taller than they are, so I made them average around 6’5. To add to that, all undead builder mobs either don’t have eyes or have solid coloured glowing ones, so I went with the latter.

Minecraft isn’t a stranger to making lifeforms appearances change drastically depending on circumstance, this render is of an Ancient builder post wither attack, around ancient city time, which meant I could adopt the idea the devs mentioned about villagers/illagers, of human skin turning desaturated if they stay out of the sun for long enough, which, if the single generation of Illagers already show signs of I bet the god knows how many decade long underground escapades of the builders probably hit ‘em hard with that trait.

I also for the longest time for some reason forgot cosmetics were very likely a thing, so they’ve got some protection spells and luck enchantments tattooed, both of them do. Doesn’t work very well, as one can probably guess. But they’re superstitious so it felt in character enough.

For the post wither attack Ancient builders I also tend to think of them as more frail, not only because they had no access to their former overworld food supplies and had to rely on the little stuff that did grow in complete lack of sunlight underground, which definitely wasn’t a lot, but also because beyond the military force that did seem to remain from the nether war (ancient city structure name: Barracks, disk 5 marching.) they definitely were no longer strong enough to properly defend themselves against the wither or the warden/mourner on their own accord.

And because they were cowards and skedaddled when the overworld was in danger AND got beat up by the piglin despite being the main kingdom in power which I just find really funny. So think tall and boney but hiding it under a lot of clothing layers to still appear strong. Definitely can’t put on armor anymore though, that back would snap like a twig.

When it comes to the robes I used some of my older armor template designs for reference, made them black and blue to fit the most well known ancient builder sprite as well as vaguely match the one of the evoker. Because, oh well, you caught me, I do believe the cargo cult theory. Got my own interpretation but I’ll leave it at that till the next bestiary entry.

I generally want the villagers to look more varied, and human, while the builders, both neo and ancient, look more unsettling, as if they’re clearly a person, but something just looks, or moves wrong. They’re too symmetrical. Too far removed from what once was flawed but sincerely their own.

A lot of villager beauty standards are inspired by medieval-renaissance era Europe, like for an example having a larger visible forehead and appearing more boxy in shape being seen as more visually appealing, I think despite the illagers trying to subvert that they do still live in a society, so having grown accustomed to it as children they probably still at-least somehow adhere to the beauty standards they know, whether consciously or not.

They perform similar experiments on themselves as the builders, they’re just ever so slightly worse at it, as they haven’t been doing it for as long, so it leaves marks like scarring or visible stitching, though I believe they wear these with pride.

There’s gonna be a dedicated post about them at some point, as I said so I don’t know how much of my design I want to pick apart for now, but I’ll just leave it at that for now.

Here’s some alternative versions.

the way San Francisco Armand can be reduced to this minecraft skin on the right and still be recognizable is hilarious to me

(also still a wip)

Little theories (on the Julie board game) I wrote before the update came out thanks to my kofi subscription

I might’ve been tweaking idk

A lot to unpack here!!

Meaning of the hole. I remember seeing somewhere that someone played Minecraft with a Julie joyful skin and it said “Julie fell down a hole” when they died in game. Clown saw this and thought it was funny but didn’t say why- I think this is where that comes from

As for the symbolism, holes in the ground can represent emptiness, lack, or something missing.

Now for the cards!!

The name on the back of the cards is Agrimony (in the WIP all of them had Agrimony on the back) which is a type of flower typically used as a herb for sore throats and stomach aches

However it does have folk lore! It was known for helping sleep/insomnia, so people would put wreaths of Agronomy on their heads or put them under their pillows when they slept. It was said the person would only awaken once the flowers were removed from them. Seems very akin to Julie’s hibernation thingy

Symbolism of the number five! Five points of the flower, five cards, five characters, five elements of creation

In Aztec mythology, the number five is often associated with the human perfection, the five elements and cycles of creation and destruction. The hole and Franks part (with the shovel) could have themes of destruction in creation
