We're Going Official (soon!)

-Glowstone-
Hello again!  I made some progress recently on the final Nether block, Glowstone!  I might do some minor work on it later but for now, I'm a happy man.  Here are some screenshots:

Light in Tunnel

-We're Going Official (soon!)-
After a lot of hard work, I plan to officially release BannerCraft to the public through the Minecraft Forums this weekend!  I plan to have the Trapdoor, Ores and the Wooden Door finished for the release so keep a look out!

-Parting Words-
In three months, I plan to have super, awesome and new computer!  This will allow me to work even more on BannerCraft and possibly run a server!  Until this weekend, have a good rest of the week.

Sandstone

-Sandstone-
Here is my latest work, the Sandstone!  It wasn't very difficult as I used the regular sand as a starting texture but I did that on purpose.  The reasoning behind it was that I wanted the Sandstone to blend in with the Sand while in a desert biome, but still stick out on its own.  Here is the screenshot:

Expect more this week and as always, feel free to comment or critique any of my work.

TNT, Melon/Pumpkin Plants, Wool and Hoed Dirt [WIP]

-Long Time No See-
It has been a while since I have posted but I'm back on track!  I did some heavy work this weekend and also had the time to take pictures.  I plan to finish the Hoed Dirt and the Obsidian by the end of this week.
Hoed Dirt and Melon/Pumpkin Plants
Wool!
TNT, it is dynamite.
-Parting Words-
If you haven't checked the Blue Xephos Channel in a while, now is the time!  They have released two new SoI!  Also, I recently played a smashing new game called Destopian Wars today and I really enjoyed it.  It is made by Spartan Games if you are interested.  As always, feel free to comment or critique any my work.

Happy Shadow of Israphel!

-Double Post!-
Today was the 31st episode of Shadow of Israphel so I thought I'd do a little more work on BannerCraft to match the occasion!  That is right, a double post!  Could this Friday get any better?  Here it is, the art!
Left to Right- Night House, Nether Ghast, Israphel, Desert Castle, Holy Boat and Mockingbird Shield!
Mockingbird Banner

-Mockingbird-
For those of you who aren't familiar with Mockingbird, it is a Holy City that we have built (and rebuilt.)
  We got the name from an amazing video called How to Kill a Mockingbird, a great spoof.

-Parting Words-
I have added a Followers Widget at the bottom of the page so you guys can follow with Facebook and such.  Have a great weekend and as always, feel free to critique any of my work.

Rare Block Friday!

-Nether Blocks-
Tonight I finally finished the Soul Sand and the Netherrack in spirit of the 1.9 Pre-release!  I had some trouble with the Glowstone but I hope to finish the rest of the Nether blocks this weekend.
-Gold, Iron and Diamonds Oh My-
I also finished the Iron, Gold and Diamond blocks!  You don't see them very often in game because they are so hard to get in large quantities but I wanted them to be done sooner rather than later since they are used a bunch in Creative Mode.  Here is the screenshot:

I expect to have BannerCraft 1.1 released this weekend so get ready!  It will be 1.9 compatible as well.  As always, feel free to critique any my work.
