"There wasn't really a choice here, since I wanted to recreate a dove, and they're naturally white!" But worry not – the castle isn't made of bird. "I mainly resorted to using white blocks," says Mega.
"bird"!įrom there, it was simply a matter of letting the bricks speak to him. Mega took the idea of building into something, and simply changed "temple" into "castle", and "stone cliff" into. You might know Petra from the Al-Khazneh, an impressively elaborate temple carved into a sandstone cliff. His main point of inspiration was the ruins at Petra, which are both built out of and built into the rocks around them.
The idea came late on a Friday evening after a tough few weeks at school, and Mega wanted to take his mind off work – "which is why I decided to hop on Minecraft and let the creativity roam freely." Though these details raise questions, like "how on earth do they water those wisteria," and "what does a bird need a lantern for," I'm happy to just sit back and enjoy the nice art.īut how on earth did Megatorious come up with the idea of a castle built inside a bird? "I felt that I wanted to do something else for a change," he says. Our lovely bird friend is full of little details to appreciate, from the wisteria clinging to vines that delicately drape from below, to the lantern that the bird is clutching in its talons. And he'd have to, because A White Dove Castle is a huge, gorgeous piece featuring a bird in flight – but look closer, and you'll see that the bird is also a castle. Actually, the title probably gave that bit away, didn't it? Now that you've learned a fun new fact about doves, and began to question whether Prince knew what he was talking about at all, let me welcome you to today's beautiful avian build: A White Dove Castle, by Megatorious, aka Victor Krantz, aka someone who knows more than Prince about the Columbidae family. But I did my research, and it's a sort of. hooooAHHH, hoo-hoo!
Purple-loving musician Prince once sang, " This is what it sounds like when doves cry" – but he didn't actually tell us what it sounds like when doves cry.
