I have been playing Minecraft since 1.2, but this is my first time competing in a build competition. I built this all in vanilla. I did use the /fill a few times though. I it took me about two weeks two build while playing 30 minuets a day. My favorite part of this build is the periodic blink willy dose. He feels much more alive. I did this with four command blocks and a redstone clock. I hope you enjoy.
