I made a tiny MINECRAFT WORLD out of CLAY / Lush Cave / DIY

I keep seeing people turning their minecraft worlds in 3d renders and it's awesome, so I wondered, 'what would it look like if I made a Minecraft world out of clay?'

This is one of the best clay Minecraft caves I've seen, granted I've only seen about four or five, but still. Buff axolotl made me laugh so hard.

I really like how it turned out, the wonkyness of the build makes it feel like it was taken from somewhere you'd find this

[@ESquadProductions]

This build looks so tedious! Every block had to be meticulously placed. Awesome job on another model. Ever think of opening an Etsy? 😂 Edit: buff Axolotl is something I didn't know I needed!!!!

[@NorthoftheBorder]

I think as a business model it's hard to compete with an already existing website like Etsy. They've got such a strong market share at this point, and I think the business practise in regards to how their sellers are treated makes it hard to compete with them even to draw sellers away. Not On The High Street makes a good effort, but their prices tend to be geared to people who shun etsy, and I think if any thing that boat has sailed. I think I would need a huge amount of capital to be able to get it off the ground, and I simply lack the technical know-how to even begin coding something like that. Edit: wait, did you mean a place to sell stuff? I just sell it all through email!

[@ESquadProductions]

Ingrown toenails are really painful hope you get it fixed soon 👍

[@comicalbanana]

in your professional experience, does the routine self-loathing during builds come from the planning/sketching process, or the actual sculpting/refining process?

[@ESquadProductions]

How did you get into modeling tiny nerdy things? How did it start? Also if you had to choose just one, what's your favorite model?

I dropped a weight on it, so it's not ingrown so much as compressed inwards, but thanks for the concern!
