Minecraft Steve Head
Steve’s head from Minecraft created for 8yo’s Book Character Parade a few weeks ago :-)
The size of Steve’s head was determined by how big a image I could be sure to fit to an A3 sized page with margins. I created the faces in Omnigraffle by filling 33.75mmx33.75mm squares with colours picked from the original bitmap used to skin Steve’s head in the game.
I made the 27x27x27cm cardboard box by cutting up a bunch of other cardboard boxes and sticky taping them together. To get it to fit 8yo’s head correctly the insides were padded with cut to fit polystyrene.
