So this was my Inanimate Object Contest entry, but I made a new skin that I thought was better, so I replaced it. Check it out at: http://www.planetminecraft.com/skin/semi-acousticelectric-guitar-inanimate-object-skin-contest-entry/
The Backstory
Once upon a time... there was...
Steve. What else did you expect?!
Anyway... One not-so-fine day, (that means it was night-time, raining, and swarming with spiders) Steve dashed into his mansion. Those spiders had decimated his armor, and he was down to his last sword. No doubt Herobrine would be laughing. Damn his glowing eyes. Steve proceeded slam the door shut, jam it with his pickaxe, lock and bolt every lock and bolt on its surface, block it up with obsidian, pant heavily, walk backwards, and trip over his own crafting table. He hit the floor and blacked out.
Ouch... Ouch... OUCH! Mild concussion... Thank Notch for the mushrooms (to put it simply, crude opiate painkillers). Steve pushed himself up, which was a whole lot harder, as his legs didn't seem to be willing to co-operate. Leaning on the crafting table and catching his breath, he waited for the flashing lights to subside. THAT IS IT! He thought. Steve went to clear his crafting table, aiming to create something which would avenge his fallen armors. He then remembered that he was out of supplies, save for a stack of wood, redstone dust, a gold ingot, and some string from his more successful ventures with arachnids. Thoughts began to fly through his head (courtesy of the mushrooms) and he felt like he wanted to rage-quit (he didn't quite know where that one came from. He wasn't even playing a game! (*conspiracy* ;P)). Instead, he punched everything off his crafting table (Steve has developed an extraordinary ability to punch any substance without damage!). There was a TWANG sound, and he stopped and looked around at the piece of string that had caught around the crafting table's corner. It gave himnan idea...
Steve woke up early and got to work on his new device. He stretched his string, carved his wood, placed his redstone, and cast his gold. At last, he stepped back from his crafting table to admire his work. He decided to call it: THE GUITAR!
Steve spent a few hours playing around with his new tool. Sure, it made some pretty sweet sounds, but it really needed more of a 'KICK'. Immediately, he opened his house's redstone room, and removed his note block. Running back to his crafting table, he linked the few precious pieces of redstone dust he had left with the noteblock, and attached it to the guitar. Much better, he thought as he strummed an E major chord.
As the sunset emanated its final, dimming light for the day, Steve walked boldly out of his mansion, an into the red-eyed horde."Come get it..."
A few notes:
- The section under the arms is supposed to be the inside of the guitar, as if the guitar is opening while the character walks.
- The inside of the legs is supposed to be the inside of the speaker, the same as above.
- I used the blue of then background as the transparent parts, but the actual parts are not transparent.
- The grey things on either side of the strings on the body are pickups.
So comment, favorite, diamond, etc.
Enjoy! :)
