Making a Minecraft Skin Statue

The Etho Statue

In case you are uncultured and have no idea what or who Etho is: Ethoslab is the best Minecraft Youtuber ever, and he has a Kakashi skin. (fun fact: he never changed his skin to anything other than this default Kakashi.)

And I made an Etho statue just because I can.

The product

How I made it

The recipe:

• 26 2.5cm wood blocks
• acrylic paint
• any kind of glue that can hold

I use 26 wood blocks, because the scale is going to be 4x4 pixels per block. Resulted in 8 blocks for head, 3 blocks for each arms and legs, and 6 blocks for the body.

First, the easiest thing to do is glue each part together like I said above. 2x2 Cube for head, 3x1 for arms and legs, 3x2 for body. Labeled arms and legs what they are (left arm, right leg)

Then I bring the skin into procreate and sectioned them off into 4x4 chucks:

I see what side of each body parts aren't going to be visible (The parts that will be glued together). I marked those off with X. (I almost forgot I have to paint the bit under the neck and arms)

Tedious part, dividing all those blocks' surfacec into 4x4 grid. For 2.5 cm blocks each pixel is 0.625 cm by the way. I think it is possible to just go ham painting and not dividing it, but I haven't tried, just think it's going to look messy.

Fun! paint everything. The important part is mixing colors to be as close as possible. I didn't do much of a good job with that, but it's still close enough to be recognizable.. I think?

After finishing everything I glued each body parts together. Use a lot of glue or their arms will fall off. Also, remember that head is in the center of the body.

And here it is,, A Minecraft Skin statue. He's pretty heavy and sturdy. You can hit someone's head with that.

I made this eefo creature first to tried out the acrylic paint. He might be the easiest thing to create ever.
