Wassup. I'm ROCKONN, C's my kingdom.

 

Find a giant robot (pixel art or 3D)- It's most likely mine.

Find a relatively large, detailed, unfinished building, it's most likely mine.

Find an overcomlicated redstone system town, most likely mine.

 

But yeah, Pixel Art, specifically of Gundams or classic game sprites, are the majority of builds that I actually complete on a Rev.

 

Ask me anything

What build of yours on C pleases you the most?

Tough one. Most satisfying build would be the Nu Gundam I made 2 rev's ago.

Coordinates 2270,1930

It was, until my most recent one on rev 24, the most frustrating of my builds, as I had multiple issues with things lining up correctly. At one point, I had to completely start over. Nevertheless, it stands as the largest complete man-made (non-spritecraft) pixel art ever to grace our servers.

 

 

How do you plan/prep for your sprite art?

Depends. For smaller stuff, I just doodle in-game and go from there, like with the floor design of my Veil of Tears cathedral (Rev 24).

For my Gundams, I watch a LOT of anime. I sketch out a stillframe from the show, transfer that to graph paper, play with it a bit. Then, I either try to copy it directly into minecraft, or copy it into my Paint program, pixel by pixel. I'm a strong believer that SpriteCraft and other such rendering methods cannot make something truely one's own, and is a similar crime to plagerism.

Wow, I had no idea how much work goes into one of the mecha, makes them much much cooler for me knowing the effort you put in.

At the moment, I'm going through a drawing of the Wing Zero Gundam and measuring out every piece of it. Planning on either making a human sized cosplayish armor set irl, or transferring it to be semi-realistic in minecraft.

1. Officially, about 2 months. Unofficially, as in just informing people of rules etc etc etc.... about 8

2. 2 Months before Alpha

3. Probably from a friend, too long ago to remember

4. I haven't the slightest idea where I heard about the servers, it wasn't on Reddit though, i tell you that. Not a Redditor myself, just here for minecraft :P.

5. 2 Months before alpha..... Don't remember the title.

6. The addition of conforming stairs. SOOOOO much more you can do with them than people normally realize.

7. Hard one. My hobbies include raquetball, watching Formula 1, watching the occassional baseball game, and...... pretty much anything relating to Gundams.

8. Once fell for a griefer team loop, ended up having to manually destroy/rebuild four players edits (all of whom were griefers).

9. Yush, i like animals. My girlfriend would like me to say my favorite animal is her, as she is a Brontosaurus.

10. Occassionally play a game/2 of raquetball.

11. Not at a point in my life to have one. 19, and open to anything.

12. My own. Just waiting for Aether II to update, then releasing it.

13. Physics, Television Production, and English

14. If I wanted to watch a bunch of guys placing blocks, I'd just record myself. Way better than most of the "famous" youtubers.

15. 3 cats, love em all.

1: Underwear?

2: More sea life, definitely. Gimme something on par (in amount of interest) to the Water Temple. Give me angler fish that'll gnaw off my legs as I swim around. Give me Crocodiles/Alligators/Fancy Feast Beasts (Cyotie). Give me coral, or at least seaweed for god's sake! Give me jellyfish, give me pirates, give me seagulls to crap on my shiny just-washed minecart!

3: That's a tough one, mostly because I'd never LIVE in a mech. 20-40 feet tall'd be good enough, trademark dober cannons, buster rifle, wings, transformation features, some sort of Bit system, and of course Radial General Purpose systems. Oh, and a nuclear reactor. Cause you know, that much more power, and potential destruction. Google it all.

4: Too many to choose from.... First instinct is to go to the Gundam shelf, but that's a given. Aside from that, probably Black Butler, A Certain Magical Index, Detective Conan, Fairy Tail, DBZ, or FMA.

5: For day-day activities? Got a nice old fedora to wear around. Got one for nicer occasions too. On principle? Top hat.

6: Chicago, for the heart. Ireland/England/Canada, for the peace/weather. Jersey for the Giant Robot Cars.

7: Eh, hard one. Costco/Home Depot./Shop Rite.

 

Mock up of a mobile suit i toyed with four years ago. made others since then, but just enjoy the shape of some parts of this

Who is your favorite YouTuber?

Don't really have one. Fan of the GundamInfo channel, they put out some harder-to-find stuff. ERB's always good, Hank & Jed, CardGamesFTW, Faulerro, TeamFourStar.....

 

Waffles or Pancakes?

Favorite flavor of poptarts?

Muffins.

Frosted Strawberry poptarts.

Why aren't you answering me?

In the kindest sense, please remove your hindquarters from my presence.

In a less-kind sense, get your ass out of here. No one is interested in your games, least of all those of us who wrote the rules for said games.
