Voxel landscape with vibrant green grass across the entire view. Rolling hills, sharp cliffs, and overhangs appear throughout the area. A couple floating islands can be seen as well. In the middle of the screen is the back of an astronaut character, in a voxel style similar to Minecraft. The astronaut is white, with black accents around the points of articulation, such as the knees and elbows. Above the astronaut is the name "Caloob" in white text. On the left of the astronaut is a small, four-legged, green creature with a pinkish-red flower budding from its back. The creature is looking in the same direction as the astronaut.

Started messing around in FL Studio after owning the damn thing for over a year (all my other music has been made using a mobile app called Medly)

Decided to make a little Pokemon-inspired battle theme to both start understanding the program and just to see if I could :)

And here's the background used for this video! I absolutely love how it turned out and I can't wait to see what I come up with next.

#blockbench #blockbenchart #art #3dart #minecraft #wallpaper
An astronaut's head, made in a voxel style, takes up a majority of the center of the screen. To its left and right, stars can be seen in the background. The astronaut is wearing an entirely white suit, with minor shading elements around the visor. In the very center of the screen, the Cosmic Reach logo can be seen reflected through the astronaut's visor. In the reflection, the astronauts arms are reaching out to hold on to the logo, as if it were a physical object. At the bottom of the screen, 1/16 of the Cosmic Reach logo can be seen peaking up, showing that what is being reflected is a real object that the astronaut is holding.

And here one is as my new phone background! Genuinely so insanely happy with this it's hard to put into words :)))
At the top of the screen, a pixelated moon glows brightly in the background, surrounded by dozens of stars. At the bottom of the screen, an astronaut is free-floating in space, looking at the viewer and waving. The astronaut is wearing a white suit, with black accents where the joints would bend. All of that is set as a phone wallpaper. The bottom left and right show icons for a flashlight and a camera respectively, and on the moon shows the date and time, "Wednesday, August 20 21:12".

Some #CosmicReach phone-sized backgrounds! For the first one, I just repositioned the characters from my first wallpaper to put the sun in frame. For the second one, I made a completely new background using the same pose from my previous wallpaper!

#blockbench #blockbenchart #minecraft #wallpaper
A voxel world with forested hills. In the distance, over some hills, the sun is rising, leaving the horizon a pastel orange, and the top of the sky a pastel indigo. Across the sky are the dim twinkle of stars, and no clouds in sight. In the center of the image is an astronaut, leaning back on some grass and looking toward the sky. The astronaut is a voxel player model, similar to Minecraft, with more articulation in the knees and elbows. The astronaut is wearing a white suit, with black accents where the knees and elbows would be. On the astronaut's left forearm, the one facing the viewer, there's a blue emblem made of 4 pixels. Laying on the astronaut is a small green creature, proportioned similar to an anteater. It is green across its entire body, save for the pink flower growing out of its back. The creature, called a planteater, is sleeping peacefully in the lap of the astronaut. Next to the astronaut, facing the opposite direction, is a blue-gray box with a bright cyan visor.

Another #CosmicReach wallpaper, this time in space!

I originally wanted to include a space station in the background, but I didn't have a ton of time to commit to it. I still think it turned out pretty well :)

#blockbench #blockbenchart #3d #wallpaper #minecraft
Outer space, focusing on a cubic Earth-like world. Pixelated clouds cover most of the surface, and the atmosphere has a slight brown hue to it. There's no moon or sun to see, but stars fill the black void behind the planet. In the foreground, an astronaut is free-floating in, looking at the viewer and waving. The astronaut is wearing a white suit, with black accents where the joints would bend.

And here's a few alternative ones I made as well.

And here's the seed and coords for the lovely freaks out there that want to keep track of that stuff :)

It's been a minute since I've posted about #CosmicReach !

I'm still making songs and stuff, but the most recent one uses this wallpaper I made as the art, which I'm super happy with.

A voxel world with forested hills. The entire landscape is dark, with the sky going from a dark pastel indigo at the horizon to a deep black at the top of the image. Across the sky are the twinkle of stars, and no clouds in sight. The further hills and trees turn the same dark pastel indigo as the horizon as the fog covers them.

Some doodles of robot guys for #CosmicReach :)

Really just put some shapes down to see what looked interesting

#art #doodle
From top to bottom, left to right. A drone robot from a top down perspective, with blades and a racing stripe, shooting out rocket flames from behind itself. A drone with treads, an asymmetrical visor, and an antenna. The drone robot from a front perspective, with a hook hanging from the bottom. A large, bulky robot with stubby arms and legs and a large, glaring red visor. A idol robot with a drill, a hole for a hook on its head, and hands that look to be praying. Finally, an Interceptor, with blades around its body and four stubby legs. All the visors on the robots are red, with the rest of the drawing being entirely black and white.

Some mannequins based on the tentative player model for #CosmicReach

Really happy with how both of these turned out, and how different they end up looking from Minecraft's armor stands :)

#blockbench #art #pixelart #lowpoly
A mannequin made of voxels, spinning slowly. The overall look is similar to Minecraft's player model, with extra joints along the arms, a smaller waist, and larger torso. The mannequin doesn't have legs, and instead has a base made of stone. A mannequin made of voxels, spinning slowly.

Idk who decided on the name, but this is Gingie, AKA "Amongus"
An orange tabby cat, laying down on her back. Her legs and arms are straight out and she’s propped up against the end of a table. She looks really silly. An orange tabby looking disdainfully at the camera. She knows what you are.

Here’s my other concept for a #CosmicReach title menu. I don’t know how to make it work in the way I want it to tho
#gamedev #art #space
A title screen of a game, with the title "Cosmic Reach" off to the right side of the screen. Behind the title is a planet-like circle made up of magnet, purple, and indigo bands. To the left of the planet, following it’s curvature, are 5 buttons. From top to bottom, the buttons are "Solo", "Co-op", "Mods", "Options", and "Quit". These buttons are all a dark blue.

These buttons are all a dark blue, except for Options, which has been highlighted a bright yellow. A transition screen for the title menu, labeled with two yellow arrows. One arrow states, "Title buttons go back", while the other says, "Planet spins". The planet is now shaded on a majority of the surface, except for the leftmost edge. Going behind the planet on the leftmost edge are the buttons from the title screen, with Options still being highlighted yellow. A screen full of blue rectangles, showing what would be a screen full of buttons. The background is the same as the transition screen, with the planet behind the buttons being shaded across the surface except for the left edge.

A menu concept for #CosmicReach, since the current menu is a bit boring imo :,)

Had some people mention that the buttons don't allow for easy translating, which I agree with! I'm currently working on some other menu ideas, so stay tuned 🪐

#gamedev #pixelart #art #space
A title screen for the indie game "Cosmic Reach". The title of the game is prominently displayed in the center of the screen, floating gently around the top area of the menu. Below the title are 4, square buttons, each with their own icons inside of the buttons. Solo, with an icon of the Earth and a line headed towards it, Coop with an icon of the Earth and three lines headed towards it, Mods with an icon of a puzzle piece, and Quit with an icon of a man running and an arrow pointing to the right. To the left and right of the 4 main buttons are four smaller buttons stacked vertically, two on each side. These buttons have no text, and are only represented by icons. The two left buttons are a stack of 3 lines and a character with a smile. The two buttons to the left are a wire-frame of a globe and a gear. The background of the title screen is a deep and dark purple color, with stars tilting to the left and right.

My first attempt at an animation in Blockbench! Turned out pretty good I think :)

Made these two guys explicitly to try out animation in Blockbench, but I really like how they turned out! I've been calling them Jupiter (left) and Neptune (right).

Working on a puzzle and holy shit it might be the worst thing ever

40% of it is all white pieces and another 20% is all blue

So fun!

Creation of Saturn

#CosmicReach
The Creation of Adam, except Adam is replaced with Saturn (the test model from Cosmic Reach) and God is replaced with FinalForEach (who created Cosmic Reach)
