I made Steve from Minecraft but he’s Realistic

Hey folks my name is adam and i like to make tiny nerdy things and i recently made a realistic lego man so i figured the next logical step is to make the video game equivalent of a lego man steve from minecraft so i printed myself out a scale reference and noticed

Something immediately horrifying steve’s arms are quite literally the size of his legs Ignoring the horrifying anatomical implications of this i got to work by tracing out a rough skeleton for my armature i made this out of the thickest gauge wire i have and taped off the tip so that i know how long his legs need to be

I’ll mount this in a big old block of wood and then wrap it in several layers of aluminium the aluminium plays two major roles here first it bulks out the armature so that i don’t waste as much clay building up proportions and second it kind of sounds nice on camera and it

Gives me a way to pad this video and make it longer thus reaping that sweet sweet ad revenue otherwise with my ad revenue aluminium out of the way i can start building up the body with clay the goal at this point is to try and get my proportions semi-accurate while keeping the general

Form pretty blocky i want steve to have some anatomical correctness while still conforming to his cubic origins and of course me being me i’m gonna make sure his butt cheeks are extra impressive otherwise with his body proportions sorted and an ass you could bounce a quarter off of it’s time to ruin some

Childhoods a cursory internet search showed me steve’s a pretty strong guy so it only made sense that i would make him horrifyingly muscular the trick here is making his muscles ridiculously large but still somehow correct as steve is technically a human albeit somewhat blockier than normal so i want to keep

Everything kind to accurate but within the horrifying dimensions of minecraft of course almost everything is going to be covered by his clothes in the end but i thought it would be fun if we all suffered through a shockingly muscular minecraft steve together so i’m just

Going to go right ahead and make all of the detail Now i seriously considered spending time to make him teeny tiny anatomically correct toes complete with itty bitty toenails but given that i’m going to be giving him shoes in the end i decided to draw the line here and just make some basic little nubs and call it good

Otherwise with his muscles dipping deep into the uncanny valley i’ll run over his entire body with my silicone shapers to smooth out any of the rough edges and cuts then of course i’ll give him some little itty bitty nipples before gently caressing his body with a little extra alcohol to blend all the

Edges together then it’s time to make his head through a series of expert level maneuvers i’ve made myself an appropriately sized block that will serve as steve’s head then i can poke a couple wide eye sockets in place before adding his nose Well i like the square head i figured he ought to have a big beefy chin complete with one of those handsome dude dimples right in the middle then i can give him a set of accidentally pouty lips that i ended up laughing at enough to keep before jamming a couple of baked clay

Beans into his eye sockets then it’s just a case of adding varying size of wormy dealies around the eye beans and forehead now was it about this point that i realized i had unintentionally made the love child of steve and that giga chad meme and i love it of course

With the chin like that i needed to make a riser for his head so i guess despite my best efforts gigasteve is getting a neck finally with his neck blended into his body i can get to work on the surface detail i’ll start by adding various wrinkles and crease lines that both give

It a bit of a depth and give the paint somewhere to settle when it comes to the painting phase i’ll add some pores to his skin by gently poking his face with the tip of my softest nylon brush before adding his ears then giving him some eyebrows and finally his flowing locks Now instead of giving him an elevated goatee i’m going to stab his face with a stiffer brush to simulate stubble so that i can paint the goatee on later then it’s into the oven for a bake and i can add the arms the start out is little lengths of wire

I’ve measured to be about the same length as his legs then they get bent into the proper angle wrapped in wire and then covered in a layer of mix and match cosplay before i build up the bulk with sculpey i use the cosplay as a base since it’s nice and sticky and it

Adheres to the wire well and it makes for a good base to build the sculpey off of now the reason it’s a sickly green and orange color is because this is all the leftover stuff that gets stuck in my pasta machine when i’m pressing thinner sheets so i’ve just scooped it out and

Mashed it all together otherwise with my arms built up to the point that they’re equal in girth to my legs i can start mapping out my muscles same as i did with the legs i want to try and stick with a human anatomy but still stay within the confines of giga

Steve’s proportions that means he’s got ridiculously beefy arms that are only slightly longer than they are thick after all this is a guy that can punch through a one meter thick tree in just a few punches of course he couldn’t punch through said trees without some absolute

Hammers for fists so i’ll start with a nice big slab of clay carve out the fingers then try and add as much detail as possible while keeping the overall fist nice and square now i have seen some theories that say steve’s arms actually end in a single

Finger rather than a fist but i think in order for him to make use of the various tools and weapons he’s gonna need to have a proper hand or at least however proper i can make them while keeping them entirely cuboid that being said with the hand finished i can lop the tip

Off his arm knob and then jam my ham fist on the exposed aluminium bone before blending it in creating a seamless horrifyingly proportioned arm then it’s into the oven for a final bake so i can prime him for his paint job now while steve is white as a ghost here

I’m fairly certain he’s got something of a brown skin tone so i’m going to start by adding lighter shades of brown washes and stages until i’ve worked my way up to a skin tone i think matches pretty closely with the in-game reference once i finally got a base i’m happy with i’ll

Start adding darker shading to all the cracks and creases in the skin by adding a dark wash then dabbing away the excess with a sponge this will leave me with some subtle and some not so subtle shading i’ll paint his hair on with a dark dark

Brown then i’ll use that same color to paint his eyebrows and then i’ll use the tip of one of my gnarly dry brushes to stipple on the darker sections of his goatee before lightly stippling on the rest of his stubble then his hair gets a quick frosted tip

Dry brush and i can get to work painting his eyes Now with everything painted it’s finally time to cover up all the work i just did with another layer of clay starting with his pants which i’ll make using this blue jean blue ball of cos clay once i flatten the clay i’ll cut out various strips so that i can cover the

Lower half of his body in blue clay now i’m not worried about overlapping sections because they can all be blended into one another but i do want to make sure that the cuffs of his pants and the edge of his waistline are sharp i’d also considered giving him a pair of breezy

Chaps and positioning the picture in such a way that you wouldn’t notice unless you watched the video but decided against my better judgment i should probably cover them up otherwise with all the exposed skin covered i’ll blend all the seams together roll it smooth with my silicone

Shapers then get to work adding a slew of creases and folds by adding strategically placed wormy dealies then blending them into the pant legs I decided steve would be wearing jeans because jeans tend to be the trousers that have the most detail so i’ll add the various zippers and seams and pockets although in hindsight i think it might have been kind of funny to give him a pair of cargo pants with all the pockets

Necessary for his millions of kilograms worth of dirt and rocks that he carries however with his trousers finished it’s time to give him a shirt made of this delightful blue ball of clay this process is nearly identical to the creation of his jeans except i’ll tuck

His shirt into his pants and make sure his sleeves show off his ridiculous biceps i’m also going to lean heavily into that giga steve meme and use a really thin clay so it looks like he’s squeezing his absurdly muscular frame into a shirt that’s far too small for

Him then i’ll blend it all together and add more strategically placed wormy daily wrinkles and folds Of course to maintain that in-game accuracy i’ll make sure to give him a slightly untucked shirt with a shirt and trousers combo finished it’s time to make sure he gets full service and give him some shoes using a dark gray clay this just gets mashed onto his exposed

Toes until i’ve got all the skin covered then i’ll carve away any of the excess and smooth away the rough edges until i’m left with a pretty boring nearly square shoe now they were a bit too boring so to add a little flare i gave his shoes some tiny flaps otherwise his

Shoes are i guess a little less boring and he’s been baked to lock all the clay in place which means it’s time to give his outfit some final paint touch-ups i’ll start by painting a shirt a slightly more in-game accurate aqua blue then i’ll dust the tips of the creases

With a lighter shade of the same color i’ll leave the jeans the color of the clay but tickle the tips of the creases and the details with a lighter blue to give the impression of a pair of faded jeans finally his shoes will get a coat of darker gray with a lighter grey

Highlights and a black sole before i can finally add a little uv resin to his eyes to really round out that horror which means steve is finished and it’s time to make him a grassy dirt block to stand on i’ll start by roughly marking out an appropriately sized block then cutting

It out so i have four equal flat sides then i’ll draw equidistant lines up and down and across all the faces so that my block is covered in a square grid pattern now to protect and prime my square grid pattern i’ll mix a bit of mod podge and

Brown paint and then slather it all willy-nilly over the entire surface however once i’d given the mod podge paint makes ample time to dry i decided the squares were a bit too big so i tested a tighter grit on top then did the same thing to all the sides

To paint my dirt block i started with a dark brown base coat covered the entire block then worked my way through a series of slightly different shades of brown highlighting random squares to add the grass on top i’m going to use my all-time favorite material static grass this stuff is just the tits

All i need to do is paint a little pva glue onto all the sections of the dirt blocks that i want to cover in grass then i load this stuff into a static grass applicator which gives it a little jump start so that when it falls out

Onto the glue it stands straight up and once i’ve covered the entirety of the basin grass i can simply tip it over give it a couple of taps to knock the excess grass loose and then admire my delightful little grass block then all that’s left to do is stick giga
