I blew up my reference image to a larger size so I could look get details as precise as possible, then I just placed bricks on top of each other. Where different colors met with edges, I would duplicate the scenery, extend it outwards, place the brick I want as background, and use the duplicated bricks from before as negative parts which I’d combine with the scenery so there wouldn’t be block overlap. It wasn’t complicated so much as it took a lot of time. Really rewarding end result though!

I don’t think that’s how water reflections work, although it might be just an artistic choice of yours 
I did it wrong, my bad. A lot is on my mind right now and I’m not fully focused.

At last, this style finally appears. Even though I can’t get by to making hand-painted textures, I love this texture style.
Fun fact: I spent the last two hours going through cool 3D models in this same style, coincidence.
Helpful tip: Astro Kat has this thing going on where he posts tips and tricks to 3D art (mainly in this style). Step by step gifs that show you exactly how to achieve the style/make the model. x.com You should check it out!
Really excited to finally show this to everyone. I haven’t been creating my own art in while but I really liked how this one turned out. I’ll be looking in to it for a few more minutes to finalize everything and I’ll post it real soon!
Meanwhile here’s a little teaser

…If I tried to measue the amount of time I spend attempting to replicate your roofs…
10/10 color scheme
I did make a pretty crappy tutorial on how to, if you fancy watching that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDHN24rjHQ4
the one in the video turned out like crap but you still get the general idea on how to make roofs the way i do

I love your work but may I ask why you don’t use 3D modeling software? Could save you a lot of time for things that don’t need perfect collisions. Some of the operations you do in studio that take awhile could take a few seconds in blender. Or maybe you do use it just prefer studio ?
Because I don’t want to murder mobile devices with an extreme amount of unnecessary meshparts and textures that needs to be saved in memory. Besides, I’m fifty times faster in Studio than I could ever be in Blender.
I see, but I don’t think it murders memory as much as it used to with instancing now which I think is completely live

Just went over some level design theory for a map I’ll be making. I’ll most likely send screenshots as I work my way up to completion. school might come in the way of doing it very frequently though…
