Well, that's day 20 of 40 days of sketching. Quite odd, on one hand it's not a lot of days but in another way while looking through them. A lot has happend. in terms of progress.

Either way, I am looking forward for the next 20 days to sketch on location. Quite different compared to sketching from google streetview. The only downside? possible bad weather & roughly 20~24 hours of traveling needed from closing the front door behind me, all the way to my first place to stay. But that's something for tomorrow morning.

day 7 left | right day 17

ps. the houses are from the country I am going to for my vacation.

With the completion of my world, I get to do something that I've been waiting all this time for.

In much the same way that we used to use cheats such as Invincibility, unlimited ammo, and all weapons, this is akin to me having just a little fun and more than deserved treat of doing something that goes against the grain. While I would have loved to cover everything, unfortunately there isn't a Creative mode and all inventory edit mods are defunt.

What you see is pretty much my entire supply of TNT I've crafted by hand. Rougly a stack and a half. Could have farmed more, but I think this is more than enough.

Thank you, Notch, for so many wonderful years of entertainment. This isn't the end, only the beginning of the next chapter for me. Now that this is done, I can move on to other versions and other games.

Update post: IT WORKED!!!! I have no idea how, but dear god I'm happy that it does because my other option would have been to scour the entire map blindly looking for dungeons.

I've never been so excited in my life. Sure, I could have done this months ago yet I wanted to wear out my world a bit before doing something drastic. Given I'm just missing the green disk now, my museum will be complete in a few hours assuming that I can get the green disk to drop as well.

Got a functional mob farm going. Needs to have some things worked out like knowing the spawn rates and the like, but it'll do for the time-being. Not the prettiest or most efficient, but once I get what I need, I'll find a guide to make it better. The wool there is for me to be in range for things to spawn, there's a hole for the mobs to look through so they will fall into a water trap that sends them down to near death by falling.

It's neat trying to figure out ways of doing things on my own instead of always running to youtube or here to find something that was probably playtested for hundreds of hours.

Hm, I wonder what they'r building here? Could it be a new megastructure or testing out some fencing ideas? Maybe it will be that warehousing they wanted so they aren't going around trying to find some random item that's buried in one of the dozens of chests lying around.

Whatever it is, hopefully it'll turn out alright design-wise. Since I have a couple of days off, going to be working on some projects and hopefully find those music disks. My current plan is probably making some crude mob farm using a box and some water and just praying for some AI luck.

So... day one in the pocket of my own sketch journey.

Being inspired by Stubbs1 Sketch journey's one and two. I decided to do my own version of it. Not 60 but 40 days of sketching. The first 20 to get the very basic's down or rather, re-evaluate what I always used as base without really questioning it.

The last 20 days, doing actual urban sketching while traveling abroad / being on vacation. With the main goal to be in better shape in my vacation than the previous years.

p.s. also making this post to give an additional kick under my own butt, to do it actually for 40 days.

For the first time ever, I've finally used up a diamond pickaxe in my Alpha SSP. I've always either lost it through dying or made a new world. This is a great day for me because I'm over my fear of wasting items for the most part.

Back in the day, I was so perfectionist that I would constanly start over if anything went wrong even in the slightest. The older I've gotten, the more I accept that failure isn't always the worst and sometimes losing things helps you find others.

Despite that, I'll still be using stone pickaxes in the nether because netherrack will chew through even my 2 stacks of iron block supply in minutes.

Some images of the Tower, don't want to spoil what's at the top in case someone wants to explore it.

It reaches the height limit which always puts the modern game into perspective. Might dig out a chunk (16 x 16 to bedrock) but I have done that before so it is a waste of time and exhausing to do. At this point, I'm going to just work on improving my building and redstone skills since those were a few reasons for going back.

Tower of the Sky is almost done. Just need to add a bit more glass and a chest on top. Will post pictures tomorrow. Found another dozen diamonds or so in my wanderings, have far too much iron, got a bit of gold, and still no luck on music discs.

At this point, I might make a giant arena made of obsidian and hope for the best by luring skeletons and creepers around. Should I use a guide or think it might be a waste? I could just keep caving until I find more dungeons, but I'm getting exhausted blndly going around.

Quick, while we're Site Mods, make all teen skins legal

Even though it's only Alpha, it brings aw to something simple like a tower. This is probably several dozen stacks of cobble to build, make the floor out of smooth, and using the cobble to make the slabs

The plan is to build it to world height and put a chest on top with some goodies. The inner cylinder is going to be a lava tube. Not meant to be a challenge, more of a display of commitment to a dumb project that most people could do in a second with WE or VP.

It's been a while since my last build. Apparently a year minus 2 days... Which means I am also now roughly 11,5 years on PMC

Either way, to keep things interesting & trying something new for presentation; I tried making a video. It's rough (including grammar, it's google translated not my strongest point) but interesting to give it a shot.

So for my latest build. A redstone powered Shinkansen below my first video attempt.

One day, I'll find those disks. Or make a mob box and hope that I'd get lucky with skeleton creeper tag.

It's been a while, but I'm still playing on my Alpha world. Been finishing up a few projects, started a couple more, and intend on getting the last couple items required for my museum.

Please welcome the newest business to my town, Diggit Co.(off to the right)

I'm going to update the world file either later tonight or tomorrow. I want to get a couple things organized first.
