Old Minecraft ideas, from way back when—I’m thinking 2011. I used to be more into it more than was healthy; it’s what I did when dropping out of UMaine, to think about something other than how useless I was.
Originally they were just pencil and marker, so I inked them on a whim.
You can probably see this predates bats, golems, villagers/Testificates, and even Endermen, hence my take on the concepts.
The goblin villagers were based off of an old, old post from the original Minecraft development blog, which neither Tumblr nor Google can find, sadly. The yeti, worm, and shark were just some one-off ideas for monsters within various kinds of terrain; the yeti lived only around snow, the worm could “dig” (phase) through dirt blocks, and you can probably imagine where the shark showed up.
The two I like the most are the Smoker and the golems. The Smoker was supposed to be an equally-annoying relative of Creepers, where it would seek out and devour wooden blocks. The golems how I envisioned what ended up being Iron Golems—I vastly prefer these!
