alright, so i am making a texture pack called GuideCraft, it's based on the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series, there is a catch though, i suck at texturing, so this is going to be my… lets call it a working draft, it will be 16x and mostly just simple filler blocks, the final i am hoping to do in 32x or 64x (i don't really want to go higher because i am a **** artist) i will try and update this whenever i make a change, i really just want to finalise what all the blocks/items will be and how they will essentially look, suggestions are greatly appreciated,

it will take a while for it to be finished, because i have a very busy couple weeks ahead, but after that i have about a week i can dedicate almost solely to this if need be.

also, the main point of creating this thread so early in the making is because i find it hard to follow through with my projects, but this way i sort of have to...

GuideCraft Block/items List (in no particular order, and not necessarily complete, but i will update it when i know what things will be)

Book - Guide
Bookcase - encyclopaedia galactica data block
Pig - Perfectly normal beast
Cow - pig (wants to be eaten)

yes i am aware that i am making cow pig and pig effectively cow, while this may seem odd, it is because the pig wants to be eaten, but you cant eat pig, because you are a human ape descendant and you are to morally against eating something that you have spoken too, but you do however like perfectly normal beast sandwiches.

Chicken - mouse
sheep - ?
Jukebox/Noteblocks - Babel Fish Bowl (simple filler is done, but i am not happy with it at all)
Records - Babel Fish (done, to a degree)
Gold Armour - Gold astronaut suit
Leather Armour - Bath Robe
Iron Armour - most likely the clothes from the pan galactic gargle blaster exert from the TV series.
Diamond Armour - ?

Glass - Windows from Arthur's house (T.V. version) (done, and i do quite like them)
Wooden Door - doors from Arthur's house (T.V. version)

Screenies (because i need to show you something)


this just shows you some of the glass

this is the noteblocks and jukebox's as they are, the records also look like babel fish, and the red thing is the knife that toasts as it cuts, replaces the diamond sword.

this is the smooth stone, it looks horrible at first, but i like it a little, so it will stay for a while, until i can improve it

in this you will see the new leather armour on my character, it looks crap on mine but it's pretty decent, because now you can protect yourself without needing to take off your Pj's (note the sleeves are now two pixels shorter, thanks fiftyniner)

Zombies, now robots with GPPs

look! an extremely valid point of view on your existance!

i need some suggestions guys, it's not easy making interesting things when you have to come up with them yourself.

updated a few things, added some stuff, improved a few, y'know, just stuff.

that depends, do you live here?

Looks very good, except I don't like the juke box. It looks too simple and strange.

The only change I would suggest would be to shorten the sleeves of the leather armor a bit so that the weapon doesn't stick through the sleeve. Other than that, looking good. =)

alright, a small update, been a busy day so i only got to do zombies, they are now prototype robots with a GPP (genuine people personality) careful, prolonged exposure may cause extreme depression and death by will, and arrows, they are now your extremely valid points of view (still need to do the bow though).

thanks fiftyniner, i hadn't noticed that, fixed it now, i also made the default char.png an ape decendant in traditional attire.

and yes majester, the jukebox looks horrible, i don't particularly like it either, i just don't know what to do with it, i might change what it is meant to be, or just add some noise, but it will change, drastically.

i will probably release and update a WIP version when i have done creepers, but i don't know what they will be, so suggestions would be nice.
