Me neither, half the time I never really know exactly how a texture is going to turn out till it's done. Not the best system but the results have been nice so far. Though grass took my about 7 tries and I am still not 100% happy with it.

You'll probably hate me, but this has a gorgeous Tolkinesque 'Hobbit' illustrative feel to it (meaning it has a similar feel to Tolkien's own early illustrations for the Hobbit), which also means it appeals immensely! So I hope you forgive me the comparison and see it as a good thing.
There have been some very cool looking 'hand-drawn' packs before, and I love the idea behind them all, but this is the first I've come across that conveys the feeling you're actually in an illustrated story. You probably already intend to, but I'd love for you to continue in that vein, so menus and such feel like the decorative borders of an illustrated book, or diary, etc. and as you build or create adventures, as some will surely do with this, it will feel wonderfully magical.
Best wishes for it's development 42. If I wasn't wedded to my steampunk pack, I'd have loved to have done something like this, probably because, being old-fashioned and long in the tooth, I still love using 'real' art materials too (well, I do come from an age before even the simplest PCs required rooms of valves and wires to flick a pixel across a screen! And no, I didn't get here by time travel... just did it the hard way like everyone else!!).

Thanks for the post Glimmar, always nice to hear from you.
It was not my intention of portraying an illustrated story. However, I really like that idea. So THANKS.
I am actually not familiar with Tolkien's drawings. I have read all of his books (including the silmarillion) but most of the editions were later version with other illustrators. I do draw inspiration from the original Alice in wonderland illustrations and from Dr. Seuss. So, no, I wouldn't be offended by the comparison.
The grainyness is either caused by the actual paper or by the high contrast drawings. It depends on what you mean by grainy. Either way I am not going to fix it.
If you are having problems with "crawling" landscape I would suggest picking up optifine and using the AA and mipmapping it works wonders.

Some of you may know of the employment issues I've been dealing with over the last year. Thankfully that ended about two months ago. I've actually been doing the majority of this pack at work while on lunch and breaks and such. What this means is that I should actually be able to do a "weekly" update. I say that with quotes because it will not be on the same day every week. I work a rotating scheduled. What this means is that I will attempt to get out an update every six days.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, come one come all to a land of fantasy. Inkscape has evolved! New images abound and wait to be spotted by the intrepid adventurer. Join us in this auspicious celebration!
This is so awesome!! I love the grass. So much love.
The grass.... Yea... That's the 9th version only one other of which even made it on my computer. I hate making grass. But I am happy with how it turned out.
1) Cartoony, Jolicraft and BDCraft do this quite well, in different ways
2) Realistic, any photo realism pack does this well
3) Simple, there are a lot of these
4) Faithful, there are a few 64x takes on this and Vattic's unforgettable 32x
5) Dark, Ovo's Rustic and its continuations, Dokucraft, and JohnSmith achieve this
6) Bizarre
7) This deserves its own category. It appears to look sort of like Misa's, but takes the deviation from a photo realistic and takes it as far as possible. Dunno what to call this. Will definitely download once it's done.
Let’s play good guys against bad guys… Yes. Let’s play that. Are you ready? You’re the bad guy. And when you’re bad, you just run. That’s fine right? Well… Shall we play?

Umm thank you. Though I must say that I don't really like misa's work, It approaches and often blows past the uncanny valley boundary.
However, being compared to an artist of such popularity is a complement.

Thank you.
I plan on keeping this pack going. I'm enjoying it immensely more than anything else I have made before except possibly remnant.

Curse PremiumAs do I. Sadly the scanning process removes some of the vibrancy that the drawings have and I haven't been able to restore it.

Thank you kind sir or madam.
I dunno, Thistle's pack isn't really the same...style. Or theme really. Thankfully my competition is packs like this. http://www.planetminecraft.com/texture_pack/doodle-death-pack/
Actually that is the one that inspired me to do this one. Mainly because that pack is crap and I knew it could be done a lot better.
