So, I think I will go with what Thistle suggested on the union thread. Basically I will be making two versions of this pack. One will be what it has been, the impressionist theme. The other will be what I want to make. The new smooth stone and cobble will be part of the new pack. This means that I will have an alternate for nearly every texture.

I had fun making the cobble.
Also, when it comes to textures like ores. I say screw realistic. I am making them look how I want them to look.
A preview of some textures I have been working on. I think that I am going to have to come up with a different name for the alt pack. hmmm...
Anyway I plan on doing two updates a week on planetminecraft. This will keep me motivated and will keep my work towards the top of the lists on PMC. Since my links here redirect to PMC that will also effect this thread. :smile.gif:
It will probably take a while for me to get the first update out though. I need to separate the two packs and do new textures for both versions.

I think what I will do is both...sort of. I am going to start making two versions of every texture and sprite. One version, Impressions, will follow the impressionist style. The other, Vestige, will be more what I want to design right now. The textures above will fall into Vestige. When I get all of the vanilla textures done I will split the packs up into two different packs. Though they will already be split up on PMC because that site doesn't allow me to have two different external links.
Also, I will not be using the customizer site. Hopefully the site that my brother and I are designing will be up by the end of the month and all my packs will be hosted there rather than mediafire, PMC, or MinecraftCustomizer. I will, however, make a short video explaining how to easily customize for yourself using a image editing program like GIMP.
In addition, I have added a banner code for those of you who want to support my work, and I have added an announcement section in the second post.
WHY are you using comic sans in OP?
I hate that font
OT: nice pack, trying out for sure
I also used comic sans for the first several pages in my posts. Then I became lazy.
Why did I use it? Because I wanted a font that looked handwritten. Because it fits with the feel of the pack. Comic sans is not a bad font. It is just misused sometimes. Being a prospective graphic designer and animator, I am fully aware of how important font choice is. I am also fully aware of some people's kneejerk reaction towards the font, though I do not fully understand it.

The reaction is due to its excessive use, although I guess usage here is more appropriate than most instances; but as a font, it's simply used a rather ridiculous amount of times, especially in schools. I, for one, am certain to see the font about 30times per day...that's not right.
I agree that is is greatly abused. I have seen it used on warning signs and in gun store windows. That's just wrong.

I need to get around to making custom animations sometime.
Just out of curiosity what do you guys think of these textures that I am working on?
Smooth Stone
Cobble
LOVING the cobble! The smoothstone is nice, but looks a bit "fuzzy" to me? Could just be me though. My eyes are horrible and I am in the process of getting new glasses.

It's not just you. I have reworked it a bit to look something more like this.
Also, the cobble is being redone a bit. I am making the stones smaller so that I can add more variance in color without ruining the tiling and I am adding more detail to the stones.

Wow that looks really nice! Can't wait to see what the finished products look like. I really wish I had some of that kind of talent.

Curse Premiumheh, I saw that on your thread.
Kind of a creepy term if you thing about it...
Wow that looks really nice! Can't wait to see what the finished products look like. I really wish I had some of that kind of talent.
The new stone makes my ores look even better.
BTW the ores are not complete, I am going to add more texture to them so they aren't as smooth.
ooh, I like it. Like someone hurled rocks into a stone. I gotta say, I really love the new direction of this pack.
Wow looks great so far! Can't wait to download the new textures when they are ready!

Thank you.
I love your avatar btw. Panda's puking rainbows. XD
Aww I missed it! I did go back and watch it though! Pretty amazing work! Hopefully you will do it again sometime soon!
I plan on it. Though the next livestream will be entirely my pack for the pixel challenge. :smile.gif:
Awesome! I will keep an eye out for it!
