FEATURED ART
The upper row features art we found on wall posts. Chabileo shared with us some original digital art created for cheyko's DTIYS (Drawn This In Your Style) contest. They use a beautiful palette of pinks and purples. lovfallande published the evolution of their profile picture and why it currently looks the way it does.
The bottom row features art from the blog section this week! Michiru impresses us once again with their latest character, Anima which means "soul" in Latin. Michiru goes on to state that her character is "an anthropomorphized version of the soulsand valley biome". Next is one of many pieces submitted in one blog by sonderrr. Their blog contains a lot of their art, organized by year and Sketches/Finished pieces. A great blog to browse. There were several outstanding works this week, so be sure to check out the top art blogs!

FEATURED PROJECT
Captain_JEK is known for their small, clever builds like Ice Cream Truck and Chevrolet Farm Truck. Occasionally, however, they surprise us with a massive build. This week, they did just that and submitted a robotic-like structure titled Marx and Engels. This build features two machine lifeforms from the videogame Nier: Automata and is named after two German philosophers. Captain JEK was inspired to build this after searching for spooky vehicles and robots for the Spooktober Community Event last year and stumbled upon one of the characters, Engels. He decided to build this as a tribute to the video game for the game's 4the birthday!
| FEATURED DATA PACK This data pack by UltroGhast does just what it says! Real Working Bookshelves is a pack that allows you to store any of your books in the slots of the bookshelf! Written books, writable books, enchanted books all work with this pack! The texture of the shelf will change depending on how many slots are occupied. What a convenient way to organize all of your books! After downloading the pack and the required resource pack, to get yourself a working bookshelf you must break bookshelves using an axe with fortune. Be sure to check out the data packs submitted this week, as there were several great ones! |  |
| FEATURED TEXTURE PACK This popular pack titled "Kit's Cutie Flower Armor" by 4ltk1tty overhauls the default armor to something more bright and cheery! You can now adorn yourself in a flower crown which replaces the helmet! Armor is also replaced with pastel colors with flower accents. The color of the flowers is dependant upon the type of armor you're replacing! In addition, elytra is replaced with a pretty pink ombre pattern that reminds us of fairy wings. UwU |  |

Minecraft/Personalized Questions
How did your Minecraft experience begin?
I discovered Minecraft in 2011 with my "WG" clan
Do you still play minecraft?
yes i still play Minecraft and enjoy it π
After searching around your PMC profile a bit, we discovered you’re quite a successful YouTuber with almost 200K subscribers and Twitch Streamer with 49K followers! How cool! Was being a YouTuber/Streamer always your goal? What is attributed to your success?
At the beginning, I didn't think of becoming a youtuber at all, it came with time and the highlighting of other youtubers. I imagine that I succeed thanks to my “joie de vivre” (enthusiasm) that I communicate and my big constructions.
What do you enjoy most about creating content/streaming?
I like to share the fact that anything is possible with perseverance and determination. that life is better when you are positive ! For the videos I do everything myself.
Do you have a team of people that help you with your work (video editing, etc) or do you do everything yourself?
For some constructions I created a team in the spirit of “extreme makeover” we did events for charities and even for the French ministry of ecological transition
Are you working on any Minecraft projects?
I am currently working to redo Paris in minecraft and in survival mode I am building a victorian city
How has Minecraft influenced or changed you in real life?
After a serious back problem, I had to stop my old job. minecraft, youtube and twitch have become my main source of money
PMC Questions
How did you choose your Online Username “Roi_Louis”?

what i enjoy most about Planet Minecraft is discovering new constructions from people all over the world and sharing mine π

a new skill that I want to try .. oh the trick question π ... too much! I wouldn't have enough 100 lives for that lol-
