Oh my god...
This is pretty amazing, it's not very often that a pack that's this good comes along Also you got permissions, not many people do that

[AnonymousBagel]

Great edit, this looks like something special. Good luck on the project!

[monsterfisher]

thanks alot.
yeah i was really happy when he gave me the permission.
I mean i would have released it afterall but only after editing his textures out luckily i did not need to delay it more =)

First, if you are thinking this your motivation for making a pack is wrong. Your primary motivation for making a texture pack SHOULD be because you like it to make textures. Your second motivation should be because you want to make a pack for yourself. THEN it should be to make a pack for others. If you do not have this in the right order you WILL get burnt out and quit.

That is all really. great pack by the way!

[monsterfisher]

thanks man its my pleasure

reading that again makes me sound kind of cheap =/
But dont get me wrong, even if i dont get any money for it i wont abandon the pack. I had too much fun working on it.
On the other hand for an artist its always a beautiful thing to get some reward for what he worked for. :]

Did you get permission from ovocean? Because I know that lapis block any day. It's from ovo's rustic.

[monsterfisher]

youre right its a resized version of the original ovos rustic pack lapisblock
but as you may know hes abandoned his texturepack and is out of reach for me to contact him
On top of it all its a texture that will be replaced in the future afterall. just to clear it out beforehand the mobs that im replacing at the moment are from misas pack (creeper, golem, dragon, zombie and spider are replaced already by my own textures). Those are all the leftovers from the time where the pack was personal use only. Since i released it now, all those will be replaced as soon as possible to not get profit from other peoples work.

He's back you know. http://www.minecraft...ack-redemption/ He's posted multiple times in this continuation of his pack. (And I was a part of it.) You're still going to need permission. And okay, glad you don't plan to profit from other people's work. It's happened many times before.

[monsterfisher]

ow i see

Since i was so busy with working on my pack that went right past me =/
hm as it may be its still a placeholder ill see what i can do in terms of permission and/or replacing it much sooner.
If it bugs me too much it could be replaced by tomorrow, despite my goal of finishing mobs first.

[creeperfighter3]

It would be nice to post the new lapis and villagers.

[monsterfisher]

hehe alright check this out


Note that i kept the lapis very close to the original style my plan is to show ovo the textures and ask him about wether or not it okay to keep them like that or change them even more. through i have to say myself that the top one is way to close so i will have to rework him afterall

[monsterfisher]

Update

• added new Grass texture with 7 random faces
  
• updated the villagerskins to clean it up a little

feel free to try it out, comment and have fun

Well, you certainly did a fantastic job of recreating JohnSmith's style.
I don't feel that the remade lapis really fits, though.

Also, your new grass picture is a bit hard to see. A closer shot could do it justice.

[monsterfisher]

The thing with the lapis is that i really like the style it has, but i agree that it looks kind of odd together with the other textures,
thats mainly because it has such a high saturation compared to the rest, i will try something different today in order to make it fit better.

who knows maybe there will be something good coming out of it.

(updated the image)

[GrassyFilth]

Very nice, very detailed.... that last picture in the OP is amazing, I really like that desert-y feel.
Some of the villagers do look.......kinda derpy, I guess

[monsterfisher]

the picture was actually taken from our serverspawn where we were working on pretty hard (me and 2 friends) its a complete arabic city which has like way too many houses that still need furniture you can come over and check it out at ravand.org:25565 =)

yeah theylook kind of derpy but i actually like it alot they have a kind of serious but also derpy feel to them mainly because of the noses?

[Zakristone]

You got permission to use adf.ly?

[monsterfisher]

i have put a link in the describtion that shows my conversation with john smith  and that he gave me the permission but only under the agreement that i will replace his once as soon as possible which im doing at the moment
