I cede the point, good sir.  So, how did you design this monolith, anyway? |

The feet are all at the bottom. This is a glorious day indeed.
Congratulations! So, Paul, will dragons in the real game be about this big? No, in my mind's eye, a dragon's iris is about one block in size. (I always have visions of a miner digging and digging when he finally removes a block and sees this giant iris staring back at him...) Depending on what the body configuration ends up being, that makes them pretty big. (It makes the classic Mythruna logo dragon about 32+ blocks tall.) Underground, they will be curled up in a sleeping position I imagine. Caveats: a creature that large may turn out to be impossible... I have ideas for making it work with physics and other things but as said: might be impossible. |

I used some voxel building tool outside of MC that let me design lots of the finer points of the piece really quickly through a sort of simulated mesh interface, if that makes sense. I wish I remembered the name of it. xD |

I am not really familiar with these sort of things, but I can understand the essentials. |

I was way out of my league the instant I started this project. Still am, really... But I have good reasons for keeping on it. Personal reasons, some of them. Heh. I actually started this project to prove a point to Paul, as petty as that may seem. I doubt he'd be able to recall why. It's rather obscure at this point, always was, really, but I never forgot is that reason. Something tells me he'll know when he sees it, but I've been wrong before. |

Take, for instance, the standard MMORPG model; you can gain stats and accrue equipment to empower you, but it doesn't mean you've become more skilled. I had really good, if not flawed, equipment for the job |

Of course, that didn't prevent me from making errors that make this hideous up close. -.-
I'm gonna be editing this thing for at least a couple more days.

Is it really that bad? Well, not if you're observing from afar. It's just got a bunch of tiny details that are... off, outside of the corruption. Floating feet are some of the more noticeable flaws. The corrupted parts are the worst though. They're big cubes of solid stone or missing pieces that I have to reconstruct by hand. There are few flaws that take more than ten minutes to fix, but there are tons of them. xD |

It's all the work I have cut out for me for the next 12 or so days.  |

Well, if it was easy to create a dragon so enormous that it makes the ones that Paul has in mind look like chihuahuas, then everyone would do it. |

Few people would dedicate the time to constructing something like this on Mythruna. Putting my old siggy poem here  |
