Hi again!
As I started my new project of 1.128.960 blocks, I realized it'll take months to finish. It also consumes much of my time, and I got some other projects going at the same time, so to try and stay more active, I figured I'd post weekly updates on my progress to this build so you guys, if interested, can follow my progress as it goes on.
So to not blabber around too much, here's my current progress:

Edit: Update, week 2:

Edit: Update, week 3:

Edit: Update, week 4:

Edit: Update, week 5:

Edit: Update, week 6:

Edit: Update, week 7 (few days late):

Edit: Update, week 8 (late again! ):

Edit: Update, week 9 (heh... ):

Edit: Update 10 (lets drop the weeks ):

What I'm building is a secret until it's done, even if some people find it obvious, so I'm not going to confirm what it is in case someone here decides to put a guess in, just so you know.
I also always stream these things, so if you want to see the progress more often, you can always go to my stream or just follow me on twitter.
I hope you like this attempt and what it looks like so far and what it'll turn into. My next update will be posted in a week or so, at least if there seems to be any interest for it.
Hope you all had a great weekend! Cheers!

I don't get it, so it's a pixel by pixel drawing?
Looks AMAZING! I've been watching your streams !
Thank you! I'm glad you like it, and thank you for supporting me in being able to build it by watching the streams too. Much appreciated! <3
Also, here's the latest progress picture (sorry about being so wonky with updates lately, many things going on). It's not 550.000+ blocks and 50% done! For those of you who missed where you can see it progress, check the first post in this thread for a link to my stream.

A question: if we remade this picture in Minecraft with the exact same pixels, wouldn't it be subject to copyright?
If you don't earn money making something that has copyright on it, you're free to do what you wish with it, assuming you're not claiming that you made it. Explaining it simply it works like that at least.
Holy crap. Those details of it. It sure looks insane so far.
Respect for keeping this up.

Am I late with my weekly update? Yeah, a few days! Sorry about it, but I've had a new roof being installed on my house, my fiancee got sick and now I'm sick so I'm sorry about the delay, but here's the latest weekly update! <3
Hope you all had a wonderful St Patricks Day!
Wow, all those responses!
As for those guessing, I'm not going to confirm or deny anything as I know people enjoy guessing in general without others trying to tell them what it is. So for those who even post pictures they find, you're not getting any answers still because it doesn't matter and some people out there doesn't want it. <3
Also, thank you for liking it people! I'm sorry I haven't been so active in replies and posting here lately, got a new internet connection (fiber optics, involved some digging and welding) so I've been setting up a new streaming environment and such, thus being a bit too busy to keep up with some stuff!
BUT enough about that, lets post the latest picture update now, and as always if you want more regular updates, my streams are always on time so you can go to the first post and check that out if you feel I'm posting too slowly or similar here (including a week-by-week update on the first page). <3

Have you already talked to Guinness to make sure it will be official?
I wish you luck on that picture. Looks Great!
That's cool af
Why autofocus? Why not cool as a summer breeze?
9i ahve no idea think warcraft?
Looks like a massive, hand-made pixel art :O
Week 7...Still don't know what it is... o_0
Hi! Sorry I'm late, I got some of you dropping by my stream to remind me to post the latest weekly update. Been a bit busy the past week outside of it so didn't have much time to come in here!
Anyhow, it's now at 375.000'ish blocks after 7 weeks and one third done basically! Of course, as always, the first post includes a "week by week" progress documentation.

this. is. a world record attempt.
Here's the latest update, thank you for still checking these out, and thank you to those of you who are also dropping by to say hello in the stream. <3 Now 6 weeks into development!

I hope you all had a great weekend! <3

I'm not sure if this is pixel art or an actual build or what.
But I can tell from the picture that its the main villains from World of Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo.

Kerrigan, from starcraft.
Modified image, but still her.

Just reposting Zac's image since I'm pretty sure they're correct.
As there has been no replies lately, just going to leave my latest update here. As per usual, can also be found in the first post for a week-by-week view.
5 weeks spent, 250.000+ blocks now in it!

This time I'm on time!

Even managed to stop building on friday at a corner for a smooth line. Currently spent almost 4 weeks on this piece, and it's expected to take over 1.000 hours to build total...so at least we've gotten started, eh? Of course as always, this picture also exists on the first post for a full "as weeks pass by" preview.
Hope you've all had a great weekend! <3

It will be the largest pixel art built by hand!
There are programs that places a picture in the world, but it is not built by hand, it is built bu a program!
twitch . tv / thorlar
too see him stream! :3

I already linked them my stream, you don't need to too my friend. <3 Didn't know you had an account here though, nice to see you.
And for all you others who commented just now: Thank you for liking my attitude, I think it's important to have a good attitude in life to be able to enjoy it more (plus, a 11 year depression in the past taught me that happier is better to be).
Of course, if you people do have ANY questions whatsoever (other than what the build is about ) feel free to ask and I'll be glad to answer anything and put all the Q's into a Q&A post. <3

Looks pretty cool.
its totally diablo
guestdsim guessing its from an anime/manga(do mangas even have pictures?)
Mangas are basically telling the story using pictures. The only text usually in mangas is to say Chapter x or the characters speaking.
Anyway, that is SO AWESOME you are really dedicated to this and I like your attitude. :) I have absolutely no idea what it is, so I won't even guess, but keep up the amazing work! :D
I don't know why everybody's guessing random stuff, but I'm thinking of Prototype here. But the teeth in the bottom right doesn't quite agree.
Wow, that's a big bunch of replies (and guesses)! Thanks for that people.
I'm glad you like what you're seeing so far, and like I tell people who tune into my stream and guess what I'm building: "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, it's a secret until it's done". So maybe it's Smaug, maybe it's Diablo, maybe it's a really burned chicken! Congratulations if you happened to get it right, but I'll still not confirm anything, even if it'll get obvious for some. <3
I also want to thank MrTree for dropping by the stream regularly to talk with me while building this. Thanks mate. <3

diablo
Like Myra said it looks like something or someone from Diablo.
Is it Smaug from the Hobbit?
Looks like Diablo. {From the Diablo Blizzard game saga.} Definitely not anime/manga... xD
im guessing its from an amine/manga(do mangas even have pictures?)
It appears to be some sort of dragon. So ima take a shot and say its Smaug. (can you at least tell me if its a drag or not? <3 )
Yes ! Knowing what your making, makes you want to tell the world, but at the same time this is too awesome to reveal ! good choice of subject.
Sorry about the late update, but here's the latest progress picture (also added to the main post for those that want to see "week by week" progress in one post:

I don't know about you, but I think it's starting to look pretty good now, at roughly 150.000 blocks out of 1.128.960 total. And also, a big thank you to those of you who have dropped by my stream, it's nice to meet and hang out with you. I just wish I had more time to spare to come here too with all of you awesome people and your awesome projects. <3

You could, you know, just tell us what it is.
I AGREE
Just figured I'd point out that I've updated the post with a week 2 progress. I hope you can start making out what it is. Also, I'm sorry the far right is slightly cut off on the picture, for a better view you can always visit this page for a better view (and facts).
And for those that read this message first, I'll just add the updated progress as a picture in this message too:

I hope you like it, and thank you for checking this out! Have a great weekend, people. <3
EDIT: Figured I'd reply to some messages here too:
Is this superflat? This is superflat and on grass yes, on my own personal server.
How do you know this is a world record attempt? Because Guinness doesn't list any pixel arts in Minecraft as records, and there are no proven arts this big built by one by hand without using softwares to create them.
Do you build by hand? Yup, every single block placed one after another. I just like a challenge. For proof you can always visit my stream on Twitch, which is linked in the first post.
How do you know how big it is? Because it has dimensions, and multiplying them gives the exact number of blocks included, as the picture has a very detailed background.

Just because he doesn't upload anything to PMC doesn't mean he isn't experienced. Think beyond the planet.
Permalink this is made in a superflat world and the green is grass right
How is this going to be a world record though? Its obv pixel art, so like, largest pixel art? But I know many projects that are larger than 1 million blocks
I think he is placing blocks for each pixel of a picture. This way you know roughly how much it will be if you know the size of a picture, and this seems to be a pretty large one. If you are doing this all by hand, respect to you, I myself couldnt keep myself interested long enough to make the first line.
Out of curiosity, how do you do this? If it spoils what you are doing, you don't have to answer.
As stated above could you talk about what your ultimate goal is.
