DISCLAIMER: The art style for the characters is heavily inspired by the artist who makes the characters for the "Minecraft Earth: Biome Vote" videoes. I have been unable to find a name on the artist, which is why they have not been credited. I am still looking for a confirmed name, and will credit them in the post asap. Thank you for understanding.

Update! (11/04/2021)
We almost hit 2 months without a single update :') I guess I should explain: I lost my job, and I've had to move to live with a friend. On top of that, my nearly 7 year old lovely PC had a meltdown and fried the harddisc - Taking all the files I use to make this project with it :') Not to worry though! I make back-ups of all my stuff fairly often, so I've been spending some time getting everything up to date and adding 5 new players to the picture.
Before I can truly continue this project, I gotta find a new job, buy a new harddisc, and hopefully find my own apartment - All things that take a butt-ton of time. If I had to give an estimate, I would say: Hopefully around July-August I will have stuff sorted out, and ready to work on this project a bit more :D
That is all for now - Stay safe!-TomConn

Hello there!As the title of this post suggest, then yes! Welcome to the PlanetMinecraft Group picture!
Quick background-story that you can skip if you want to:
- Nearly a year ago I actually tried doing one of these group pictures. However, I failed because I completely underestimated, just how much work actually goes into creating over 50 different characters. But, one to not be deterred by failure, I am back, this time with a lot more knowledge and thought put into how I should go about this.
How does this work?- Me and
Wolf_with_Scarf have estimated that there should be space for around 50 people in the first picture I have made. If this is a success, then I will create more pictures for more people in the future. The way it works it quite simple: You simply have to post a link, picture, or your IGN (In game name) in the comments below, and then I'll write your name down, draw your character, and add them to the group picture.
Be sure to read the "How to Not be included" section - Just to make sure that you get the best chances of your character being included!
How to be included:- Leave a comment below this post with your IGN (In Game name), or a picture / link with the character you want to represent you in the picture itself.
How to NOT be included:- I learned from last time, that there are certain kinds of characters that have stuff that is too hard to draw well, that it ultimately ends up looking really, really bad. I would prefer if your character does not have the characteristics mentioned in the spoiler below this section.
- The reason for not drawing characters with certain characteristics is because of 2 reason:
1. I'm a decent pixel-art creator, but I struggle immensely with creating detailing without any sort of reference picture to follow.
2. It always ends up looking horrible, and can really destroy a character. You can have a beautiful character, and it will just look horrible when I draw it :'D
-
Weapons of any kind. Aka. Maybe you have a military character with a gun on it's back, or holding some sort of medieval weapon. I'm still trying to practice how you can make guns and weapons looks good in pixelart, but I need more practice.
-
Abstract characters. Aka. stuff like this:

One Colour Characters. Aka. A character that only consist of one colour. Your character needs to have 2 or more different colours, because otherwise it just becomes a blob of colour with googly eyes.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Plan for the future:- Okay so a plan for the future is actually being made, and here are the points which we know are going to happen!
1. There will be between 4-5 pictures (Thanks to
Yuki for the suggestion
(ps. Sorry for not giving you credit before))
2. Each picture will have space for between 50-60 players in total.
3. A resource-pack with the stone, grass, wood etc. textures is in the makings.
4. A blog post keeping track of all the pictures and characters is in the making and is expected to be released once the first picture is complete.
- And now here are some ideas for the future, but beware -
!THESE ARE JUST IDEAS, THEY WILL MOST LIKELY NOT HAPPEN!1. Create 'merch' in the form of an A3 poster of the completed picture (Needs a lot more research than just being an idea)
2. Extending the picture upwards
