This is a little art project I did a while ago, some of you may recognize it from the old cartoon Strong Bad Emails (on the Homestar Runner website).

Part of the inspiration here was my experimenting with an MCEdit filter that lets you change the opacity of blocks in vanilla worlds, i.e. you can have specific block types in a chunk not block light/cast shadows. This was used heavily with the stained clay type.

Enjoy!
