Last year was the first time I ever learned about Minecraft’s annual mob vote where they make three new potential mobs and let their Community vote on which one gets added into the game after last year’s when the LA won I used that as a prompt to start my series of Minecraft mobs as superheroes but this year I was ahead of the curve I knew the vote was coming so as soon as they announced the three potential options I started planning this video right here so today I’m going to take the three potential mobs and turn them into Fantasy monsters in My series of Minecraft mobs as fantasy monsters so let’s get into it shall we let’s go hit like if you want subscribe if you feel like but either way enjoy the show commonly when I visited the mining Colony Isles I’ve followed or been Guided by the captain of the island Guard Stephen the Bold on my latest return however I went seeking two explorers I’d just recently read about they were called lady Agnes and Sir yens who’d lived on the colony Isles for decades studying the creatures and terrain I hoped they could enlighten me further about more of the beasts to be Found on these mysterious Isles they lived off in the mountains and only occasionally interacted with the surrounding Villages so it took some time to locate their home but when I finally spotted their isolated Log Cabin I was immediately faced with a creature I’d never seen on the aisles before Though one that resembled somewhat the Iron Guard Sentinels Golems built to protect the villages the stone Golem that I saw here was much smaller standing at roughly five feet tall it wore a red and yellow skirt and held out before it a red scarf above which was Floating a top hat admittedly I would have believed it to be some form of a statue if its head hadn’t turned briefly in my direction upon my arrival before settling back into a resting state upon meeting Agnes and yens and telling them of my reason for visiting I noticed that They had many more of these Golems holding forth various household items and articles of clothing they informed me that these were household tote Golems they used to be more common on the Isles and many homes would have them to Simply hold or carry items around for their masters but the combination of spells And forging materials to create them had been lost some time ago the ones in and around their cabin were ones they’d found over the years exploring abandoned homes of the Isles yens and Agnes were in the process of trying to recover or ReDiscover the formula thus far all They’d found was that the creatures were carved from tough a form of rock made from condensed volcanic ash beyond that they hadn’t yet had much luck still they seemed confident that they could once more make them a common part of life on the aisles and their optimism had me fairly convinced Now one thing you might notice pretty quickly from this first drawing in this episode in general that the quote-unquote monsters I’m making aren’t so monstery this time around obviously in past episodes of Minecraft mobs as fantasy monsters I could pick a variety of different mobs to use some that are a Bit more menacing some hostile ones some that are on the more friendly side with this one obviously you know I was very happy to do this topic using the ones for the vote but that meant I was limited to the ones from the vote which aren’t particularly hostile or monstery Anyway I was really excited to do this one and have it kind of standing outside of the house have the house kind of off to the side like a cabin I thought about having it inside and having it in front of a window so we can still have a nice Naturey environment in behind it but at the end of the day I was just kind of like I like this idea of having it standing next to a house we can still have a bit of the log cabin in there and it also helps give this creature a sense Of scale one other thing you’ll likely notice if you saw the animations for the tough Golem is that it kinda like lifts up its skirt to carry things around and that in the context of the cartoony style animation that they made for it with a very simple style and in the Context of Minecraft would probably look fine but making a sort of more fleshed out not realistic but more realistic looking creature I thought it was going to look kind of weird having this thing kind of like flipping up its skirt to hold stuff it would almost look like It’s flashing people or something so I just decided okay let’s add a scarf that it holds out over its hands above which stuff is levitating I’m very happy with this piece it’s you know like I said not a monstery one it’s a little bit more peaceful and Serene but that was kind of A nice change of pace foreign tea and exchanging some Tales of our research and Adventures lady Agnes and Sir yens informed me of another creature that once roamed these lands in abundance it was a species long thought to be extinct but around three years ago they’d found a preserved egg of one of These creatures at the bottom of a lake and managed to help it hatch they brought me farther up the mountain to where the creature now roamed it appeared to me somewhat like a blend of a wild boar and a dragon Turtle though more calm and peaceful than either of Those specific beasts from feet to the peak of its shell it stood roughly seven feet tall though they claimed it was likely to reach 12 feet when fully grown they called it the sniffing Terraria pin it was a peaceful Beast that wandered the hills smelling for seeds then Digging them up and moving them to another location where it believed the plants more likely to thrive as they grew the creatures essentially acted like gardeners for the whole of the Isles and when they weren’t working to to help the forest and foliage flourish they were simply smelling the flowers or Napping in the warm daylight Sun the creature certainly looked as though it could have been dangerous if its instincts drove it to be so but more likely I imagined if threatened the creature would simply tuck itself into its moss-coated shell to stay safe Agnes informed me that they were eagerly Searching for more eggs hoping to revitalize this species and once more establish them as a Mainstay of the Isles though only time would tell if this would be possible I certainly hoped for their success now the sniffer is my personal favorite of the three mob options though I am a Fan of all three of them and would be happy with any of them winning but this was the drawing I did first because you know as I said it’s my favorite but also the fact that it’s the one that I felt like I could lean into being the most Monstrous but even with that in mind as I started drawing it I was thinking about making it a little bit more menacing looking but it just didn’t really feel right once I gave it the droopy eyes and a little bit of a grin I Was like you know what I can make this a bit more of a peaceful creature I had genuinely thought about making all three of these into more monstrous and horrifying creatures but I was just like nah you know what let’s lean into the peaceful side of this a little bit as Referenced in the lore I was taking inspiration from designs of dragon Turtles looking at images of wild hogs and wild boars and then I was also looking at images of Galapagos tortoises kind of seeing how their skin moved and how their different parts had different kinds of scaly bits and I think those All help to flesh this out out into the creature it ends up being which I’m quite happy with one thing that I think could have been nice is since I’ve got that dug hole in front of it having a bit of dirt falling off its face because In the animations for this one they show that it you know digs its face into the ground to dig holes and look for seeds but once I was well into the rendering stage and thought about adding that having the dirt kind of dripping off it I was just kind of like I’ve already got a fair amount of texture on its face I think that’s just gonna muddy it up too much so I decided to just leave it out and I think that was the right call even if it could have added a little bit more Extra movement to the piece overall I’m very pleased with this fun droopy-eyed cute little sniffer guy and I hope you all like it as well foreign Quick little Interruption to say that all three of the drawings from today’s episode will be added as posters to the pop Cross Studios Teespring store I’ve got lots of other posters on there as well as a whole bunch of ink bundles if you want to color some of my work even Got some T-shirts the odd sticker it’ll be linked in the description and in the little bar beneath this video go poking around if you know you feel like it upon learning of their efforts to return the sniffing Terraria pin and the household tote Golems to prominence I asked if There were any other creatures sir yens and Lady Agnes were actively working towards the recovery of in response they guided me to an old mine near their home that was rarely used anymore though if you saw through its tunnels far enough you could Connect into some of the currently active Minds after searching Through for about 20 minutes we spotted a green creature perched up on some rocks my hand met the hilt of my blade on Instinct but they assured me this creature would not harm us immediately after we cited it it ran off deeper into the mines we kept after it finding it Knelt between instead of stalagmites before it ran off once more they claimed this was perfectly normal behavior and we kept after it finally we found the creature clinging from a stalactite above but this time it dropped down and approached us it was a creature that was heavily humanoid in appearance despite Its obvious Oddities it had seaweed like foliage growing from its head green fur coating much of its body and digit degrade legs that ended in hoofed feet but it also carried with it a large old backpack it approached us and pulled from its bag an item that should not Have been able to fit in the bag so easily it was a pickaxe with purple lightning sparking off of It Agnes and yens told me I could take it that it was a gift they told me this creature was the rascallion mountain gifter it was a being they discovered searching through These caves that they were still uncertain if it had been part of a full species at some point or if it was a unique mystical individual anytime they had sought after it and found the creature three times in a row it would then pull an enchanted item from its bag And Grant it to them the creature could not speak and had a very playful and mischievous demeanor so it was difficult to keep it still long enough to study it but they were determined to decipher its history and Origins the three creatures I saw on this journey to the Isles were Currently the main focus of Lady Agnes and Sir yenza’s time but they extended a warm open-ended invitation for me to return anytime to see what new discoveries they’d made and what new creatures or regions they’d turn to studying next now with this one the thing I was most Excited to do was the lighting for it because I knew I could have some fun with it based on the animation that I was referencing for the Rascal in the little animation they did for it as a potential knob to be voted on it pulls a glowing purple pickaxe out of its Backpack so I thought well that’s perfect I’ll use a glowing purple pickaxe as the lighting source for the piece I knew that would end up making it a little bit like the lighting in the warden drawing that I did in the last Minecraft Mobs as fantasy monsters Episode only it was being lit by its stomach I think the lighting worked out a little bit better in the warden drawing than in this one or not necessarily better it was just a little bit more interesting I feel like I gave this one a little bit too much ambient Light which I think I put in to make sure this creature you know wasn’t too coated in Shadow and hidden away especially because it’s not supposed to be a more menacing kind of one so I think the lighting ends up just looking a little bit more generic than exciting But I don’t think that ruins the piece or anything it just you know wasn’t quite what I thought was going to happen going into it I was still quite pleased with this one I wasn’t sure exactly how I wanted to texture it you can see that I gave it the digital grade legs the you know bendy backwards Wolf the horse whatever kind of legs I also added a tail to it just to give it a few more monstery kind of qualities and not just have it be some green person that wanders around in the caves and overall While this piece doesn’t like wow me or anything I am pretty pleased with it I think it’s a good one to end this video on let’s take a look Quick heads up that tomorrow Saturday October 15th at 8 pm Eastern Standard Time I’m gonna be doing a live Discord event with some of the mods of the pop cross community we’ll be chatting and doing some q a questions and if you want to participate you can join the Discord Linked In the description maybe I’ll see you there oh this was a pretty fun excuse to dip back into the Minecraft mobs’s fantasy monsters series which honestly I wasn’t sure was going to get a fourth episode but you know now I’m thinking hey maybe even the fifth Episode give me some suggestions of the comments of other mobs you’d like to see turned into monsters maybe even ones from the previous votes that lost the vote and of course if you’re new to the channel and you like stuff like this I’d recommend checking out the previous episodes of Minecraft mobs’s fantasy Monsters got three of those or I’ve also got three episodes of Minecraft mobs as superheroes and supervillains but besides that that’s all for today except of course for ending this video on some kind of positive or inspiring note and the thought I want to leave people with Today is the idea that every challenge we’re faced with presents an opportunity opportunity for growth and transformation I’ve personally been reminded about that over the last week and a half or so because pop Cross Studios has received a massive influx of fake views and subscribers that I have No idea where they’re coming from and it’s making it difficult for me to determine what videos are actually doing well and which ones are just getting the fake views and I don’t know when these fake views and subscribers are gonna stop coming in honestly I don’t know What exactly lessons I’m going to learn from this situation yet because I’m still deep in it now but I’m going through it reminding myself that every challenge I’ve faced in my life before well it may have been a bit frustrating in the moment has ultimately made me Better and there has always been some kind of positive long-term outcome going through anything with that kind of mentality makes it that much more manageable I hope that’s inspiring to someone out there thanks so much for watching all of you real viewers and subscribers because I know there are Lots of you out there I love you all and I’ll see you all in the next episode on Monday goodbye Video Information

The day after this video releases will be the Minecraft Mob Vote for 2022 during Minecraft Live. I figured that made for a perfect excuse to bring back my series of Minecraft Mobs as Fantasy Monsters, though admittedly the ones today are much less monster like than usual.
Since I’m pulling straight from the vote, I’ve turned the Tuff Golem, Sniffer and Rascal into creatures suited to a fantasy setting. It’s sort of like making the mobs more similar to what they’d look like IRL but not quite because my style is more rendered than Minecraft, but not targeting realism.
Hope you all enjoy: What if MINECRAFT MOBS Were FANTASY MONSTERS?! (Mob Vote 2022 Edition Lore & Speedpaint
