Japanese style buildings for the Metaverse

I just finished creating 4 buildings for the Sandbox Game metaverse in record time. 1 week. Wow.

Here is a look at all of them. Gameplay video will be posted soon once I am done setting them up and arranging them on the Sandbox Game Land.

Putting in the time

I can't get enough creating voxel art. It's just too addicting. I keep pushing myself to create something that has that ethereal feel. Or even just something that will surprise myself that it could turn out to look like its being sculpted, until you look closer.

Like George Seurat's pointillism paintings. To me voxels are just that. 3D pointillism.

To me when creating an artwork in voxels, it is mostly an exercise of problem solving. How I can make use of the tools that I have, to achieve the vision that I have in my mind. And sometimes I'm stumped with the limitations of the tools. So I had to think of ways to work around that.

It's addicting when you can solve a problem and the vision just comes to life. Like this artwork of the jellyfish below.

My first try a few weeks ago looked like this:

I just wasn't happy with this. This doesn't look like what I had in my mind. I couldn't solve the problem. Until weeks and many voxel models later, I thought about it again and worked the process in my head while I was doing some menial chores and I thought, hey that could work. And so I set out to create in Voxel Max on my iPad.

This time, my jellyfish looks like this. I would say this really looked like what I had in my mind.

I guess when you put in the time, you will have the required experience and knowledge to solve problems you couldn't before. And that's why this is so addicting and fulfilling for me.

Memories inspire

I remember my time in Japan very fondly. There is one moment in time which was captured on a photograph which is the basis of this 3D artwork. I really love autumn. The weather is just perfect.
The roads paved with gold. The fallen leaves of the ginkgo tree at Hokudai. That picture will never leave my mind. You can view the full image over on OpenSea.

Voxel art on the iPad using Voxel Max app

I really love this app called Voxel Max. Once you get past learning the basics of the tool, the sky is the limit!

Check out my growing collection of voxel artwork on Featured at Binance web site. You can own my own art there as well.

I am also creating voxel art collectibles on Bakeryswap Bakery Gallery as well.

So, Voxel Max. I encourage anyone who loves pixel art and voxel art and has an iPad Pro. Get that app. It will speed up your work tremendously. The ease and simplicity as well the way you can get really close to your models by putting your pen on the screen and touching and pinching and swiping to rotate views. This app is a winner.

Getting into Voxel Art

I enjoy creating pixel art. I created a game based on pixel art called Satay Club.

And now that I am just getting into the SandBox game met averse, it's time to pivot into voxel art!

Check out this latest voxel art I did. Get ready. More cool stuffs are coming from the Cookie Munster!
