What's the longest call you guys have been on before? Discord or whatever? I'm a couple hours shy of 11 days straight here with my best friend.

So, I mentioned a thing I wanted to share a couple weeks ago, never took proper photos of it but oh well.

I painted an Ozzy Osbourne bust, roughly at a 1/5th scale, for my mum's birthday, this process was done almost entirely on stream with guineafish over the course of several...days or weeks.

When you have one of those friendships where you can just sit and chat for hours, from serious topics to comforting your friend to giggling about absolute nonsense without skipping a beat and then all of a sudden it's 21 hours later and you're still on a call and could keep going for even longer? That's true wealth in life, nothing compares to it.

You know who you are.

I have a thing to share coming up when my camera batteries aren't dead as I streamed the entire process to guineafish (with much laughter during the final few hours of the process). It's probably one of my favourite busts I've painted so far and I've painted a couple bangers that were given away as a gift.

If you know me and the country where I reside...let's just say the name of who I painted is along those lines.

Looking away from the bear cave at the apiary and beekeepers house, I'm quite fond of this shot. This area does hold some secrets (it's just access for redstone areas really), those of you that know your video game secrets well enough know where they'd be hidden here.

I think I've since done some more tweaking to this area, adjusting certain plants and adding more, though they wouldn't be noticeable in the screenshot anyway, maybe I was hiding lighting, I dunno.

I'm taking my time working on this world, just doing things slowly, there's areas I'm unsure how to make work with the landscaping but I'll figure it out as I go. More plants anyone?

Enjoy the shot, again at some stage guineafish will show off her area, she has nice screenshots available to use already (you're welcome), just lazy. :^) Hopefully next time I'll have something of more substance to show off, perhaps a horse stable? Maybe some ruins?

Eventually I'll show off the Bear Cave I made, but today is not that day. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to show it off, it's kinda better without shaders and I don't really like that tbh.

Anyway, I built the garden and apiary next to what will be the beekeeper's house (can't finish it until I update for sulfur blocks) and I think it's turned out quite nice. Still a bit to go, texturing the walls of the garden still for example.

I've also swapped shaders from Complementary Unbound to Photon shaders.

Still from the same world as the previous post, I've worked on the area around the pathway leading to the cave/honey farm.

I keep going back and forth on the entire area tweaking things as I go, adding and removing plants if I feel it doesn't work for the view as you walk along the path being very intentional with the placement of every single piece of grass. Even all the sea grass in the pond has been placed by hand, every single piece of grass on this island will be hand placed.

I have been in the Minecraft swing again recently, gone back to playing on a world shared with guineafish (a giant nerd) where I've been completely terraforming an entire island by hand in survival. While there are some mods, nothing gameplay changing, I have not used axiom/litematica to create the terrain at all and will not be using it outside of some trees as I suck at building those.

This is an area I have been working on quite heavily as I needed an automatic bee farm which is hidden under the terrain with the storage accessed via the cave I am sitting on top of. I'm really happy with the area and it's become the chill spot to hang out at in the area I'm building. Fish also has a nice chill spot too, but that'd be up to her to share.

We also only just recently killed the ender dragon after over 1000 days.

The fact these are my most popular submissions ever, that period really was around the height of skinning popularity on PMC imo.

Me when I figure out this year's joke.

I have not forgotten about doing gear post stuff, just...it's a lot, and honestly I'm learning fascinating things still. Did you know that colours focus on different focus planes? I did not until recently when I bought a new lens. That's why you get colour fringing in photos, usually a purple or green fringe around the edges of details, that's what Chromatic Aberration is. It can be corrected in post but some lenses are designed specifically to eliminate that issue.

Anyway, that stuff aside, here's a macro photo of...I think a paper wasp, not 100% sure tbh, could google it but I'm lazy. Zoom in on it to see the detail. c:
