⭐OTHER HIGHLIGHTS |
DragonsDungeon's most recent skin, vegabond caught a lot of attention this week. He also made a wall post showing the progression of the head/helmet. "Basically each step but the last one entails adding one extra colour to the previous iteration. This allows you to see, that even in the basic stage (2 colours) you can already see the overall direction the final skin will be." |  |  |
HAPPY HORSES This week, Campestral created realistic Minecraft versions of their horses: Cam and Hazel. Cam is the younger horse, at 4 years old and fluffy ears! Hazel is described as being a grumpy old lady. Campestral gives history yours while driving horse-drawn carriages led by these two equines! Be sure to check out the submission for photos of Cam and Hazel IRL! |  |  |

TUTORIALS We saw some terrific tutorials on the blog section this week! One of PMCSkin3D's powerful tools is the ability to export and import color pallets! This can be super useful especially if you're participating in a pallet contest or event. Some of you may not know about this feature, or if you do, maybe you don't know how to use it to its' full potential. silversin64 created an in-depth tutorial covering this tool and all of its' magic!  Our second featured tutorial by DinowCookie shows you how to recolor your skins in Paint.net! Additionally, she also shows you how to post the variations of your skin in the description of your original. See her example, Romecraft (+3 versions)! Note: only recolor your own, self-made skins! |   |

Do we even have a future?

Oh god Phara, you are getting deep

Whoa do we?

Where's my choice of hypothetical diverging timelines?
This entire universe past, present, and future, is pretty disappointing.

This is getting scientific XD

Everyone wants the future only this person does not want:

Ik the real life medieval period probably wasn't as cool as it is in fiction but it's a very interesting time for me, not just in Europe but also in Asia.

Let's see the Renaissance, when true art was supported - imagine what art PMC people would've made had we been born back then

late modern -- the bubble economy of japan. my mother tells me it was great then.
i also wonder what my birth town of ichinoseki looked like then...

The future. I know I can be happier if I'm away from where I am right now, but I just have to stick it out till the day comes where I can leave.

Definitely the Renaissance. It seemed like such a cool time in America. I would totally take all of my electronics and sell some of them and take a selfie with George Washington.
My other two favorite time periods are the Roman Empire and the Viking Age. Vikings are so cool (I don't mean to sound like a crazy psychopath like the vikings kind of were but seriously they were pretty cool.)
Also, Julius Caesar must be avenged.

Technically the Renaissance (at its longest) happened from the 14th century to the 17th at the most. So that would predate the events leading up to and during the American Revolution. Overlooking this, PMC skipped directly from the Renaissance (ending in the late 1600s) to the beginning of the First Industrial Revolution (1780 - 1820 approximately). idk why this is. It leaves most of the 18th century out of the choices listed. I think your choice is great tho 'cause there's so much great historical fiction I've read about that time. Real kewl.
2
Yes, very very cool. I recently watched a 3 night event of a documentary of George Washington. Wow... he was a great man. He could have been king. But, he decided not to since that has been done before and has not gone well. It was really sad because in the documentary, he never wanted to be president or do any of the things he did. He did it for freedom and for human rights. And he always just wanted to live his life with his wife in Mount Vernon. He never got to do that since after his presidency he died a few months after... it's sad :C
2
yeah, that kinda sucked for him I guess. Out of the choices listed I picked Classical Antiquity bc the Romans had the best empire before or since for a thousand years. This is further enhanced by my love for historical fiction of that era (Eagle of the Ninth and others).
2
Yes! The Romans are great. I really liked Julius Caesar. He must be avenged!!

I'm surprised everyone wants to be in the Dark AGes. Chances are they'll probably end up as some peasant.

PRINCEPS AUGUSTUS VIVAT!

Who would want to live in stone age? Lots of terrible beasts... saber-tooth tiger, even wooly mammoths. wooly mammoths have been hunted. Some hunted them... and they never came back. Also the caveman's not understandable language!
