Magical floating Wizard Tower 🔮

I build this floating Wizard Tower and am so happy about the Moon in the Background! It adds something so magical to it I cannot even describe how I feel! <3 ✨

Textures: Mizunos16craft & Astralex Shaders

i made a magical cabin!

i joined a new server with tons of new (to me) mods, and i'm using this opportunity to play around with colors, form, and staging of spaces

i've been living out my eclectic wizard dreams lately

more below the cut!

i was even able to make my beloved massive crop garden!

this is something i've wanted to make since discovering crop mods, but i never got the chance to before now

this was such a blast to do!

it's been too long since i've been able to just design and build what my heart desires, so getting back on this proverbial horse was well worth the journey it took

Atrium is a Minecraft Java Edition server currently running 1.21.1.

Our server is Survival mode, and focuses on community and storytelling.

Atrium has been a very small community for the last 3 years, and we have decided to allow some folks from Tumblr onto our whitelist.

Our server is semi-modded with a lot of custom datapack content, but no special installation is required to play.

We endeavor to be extremely supportive of LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodiversity, and other marginalized people.

If you are a chill person and like the sound of fantasy vibes, a custom magic system, and a frankly unnecessary amount of lore, you're in the right place.

Atrium Iteration 5 launches February 3rd.

I recreated this adorable witch cottage by the amazing @beeswithmoss and it turned out so magical! I will be uploaded the interior to my Youtube channel later today (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZU-jypVeC2E3wcbmj-PB_Q) and its very enchanting with the book cases, particle effects, amethyst, and cobwebs I put everywhere. A picture doesn’t do it justice! The roof is EVERYTHING I love it so much and it actually wasn’t too hard. I think an herbal witch who also is into crystals and the arcane would live here studying plants and magic all day. I also love the dreamy cotton candy skies and pink trees in this specific time of day. I hope you enjoy this magical cottage. 

I am using Mizuno’s, BSL shaders, and a few other texture packs you can find in my favorites on Planet Minecraft.

not a 1 to 1 redraw but in my defense, the screenshot i was using for reference is CRUNCHY quality TwT and her cape covered a lot of the sketch :(

Magical Place! Tarea Grafica Avanzada.

Not to brag, but I'm pretty proud of the Warp Gate. It's one of the most complex features I've ever had to program for Atrium.

As you can see in the video above, it allows you to teleport directly to a Lodestone of your choice using the power of the Infusion Circle by spending some of your Experience.

This demo takes place within Spiraling City, a lovely place crafted by TeethBones in Iteration 3, but I also teleport to Holmstead and Uurdengrod (a few other notable locations from Iteration 3.)

(Atrium is a special Minecraft Java Edition server with a unique magic system built into Vanilla using the power of datapacks.)

FF14 Battle Portrait Tutorial

For the past few weeks I was trying to find a way to recreate the battle portrait from FF14 as there was a few characters that I want to see in that style but don't officially have one yet. I think I got it down more or less (see image below) so I thought it's a good time to share what I did.

First of all, I made a few files that would help make life a little easier. They can be grabbed here .

Note: I did use Reshade to do a bit of work at the screenshot stage to help speed up the process but the same effect can be recreated in Photoshop with a vanilla screenshot. There are a lot of tutorials on how to do comic/cartoon effect in photoshop and those would make good bases to work off of.

Step 1: Take the screenshot with the PortraitBase Shader on. I usually take two screenshots. One with "Comic" on and one with it turned off. This is so that I have more to work with if needed.

Step 2: Drag all the screenshots into photoshop and remove the background. In photoshop, arrange the layer so that the screenshot with the Comic lines visible is on top of the one with the effect off.

Step 3: Duplicate the the layer with the "comic" effect and apply Blur->Gaussian blur (radius 0.5)

Step 4: Take a look at the hair. In Eric's case, It still doesn't look blur enough to me so I used the blur tool and blurred it a bit more

Step 5: Create a new layer above the layer in the previous step and use the brush tool to start outlining the edges. Where to outline is up to you but the idea is to make edges defined so that it looks more like a drawing.

Step 6: Duplicate the outline layer and then hide that layer. Step 7: Merge everything under the outline layer. Step 8: Drag and drop the "Texture.png" into the project and Clip it to your character layer. Set the blending of the texture to "soft light". Step 9: Drag and drop the "stroke Texture.png" into the project and Clip it to your character layer. Adjust the size till you are happy then set the blending to "overlay". Step 10: Adjust the opacity settings of both texture layers until it looks good to you.

Step 11: Click on your character layer and go to image->Adjustments->Hue/Saturation (note: you will see I dragged in the official Hades portrait as a point of reference to work off of). Adjust the saturation till you are happy.

Step 12: Go to image->Adjustments->Color Balance and adjust the color till you are happy. In this example, since Eric is also wearing the Sophist robe, I tried to match that color to Hades' Sophist robe color.

Step 13: Once you are happy, drag the "Template.png" into the project and scale that to the size you want. Make sure it is completely covering the character. If it's not, you can just use paint more of it with the brush tool to extend it till it covers everything.

Step 14: Hide the "template.png" layer and select your character layer. Use the magic wand tool to select the outside of the character.

Step 15: With the selection still selected, click on the "Template.png" layer and press delete on your keyboard. You should now be left with a blank in the shape of your character.

Step 16: Drag the"Template.png" layer to be below your character layer. Then click on your character layer and clip it.

Step 17: Click on the "Template.png" layer and add a 2px stroke and shadow to it.

Step 18: Drag "Back_Deco.png" into the project and place it behind your character. Scale it till you are happy with it.

And that's it! Now you can recreate portraits for any NPCs that you want (in theory). A lot of it is also fine tuning to what you want but this should at least give you a decent base to work off of :)
