Author's Note: Cropped - in addition i covered my name in black, i was saying good bye to the people of the server.
I received help from the admin, who put me into an almost empty world,
and turned the blocks of the original writing into water-blocks when i was done,
since those are not regular placeable blocks, but he was not otherwise involved.
I used photoshop for reference and counting blocks.
As for the picture: It consists of roughly 98x42 blocks, that equals 4116 blocks placed one by one,
i did it in creative mode on the homepage.
I tried some things for the 1000 and this turned out best in my opinion.
Took me quite a while, but i got it done in time. :)
I thought it was a fine idea, since my original concept would have taken way to long.
Hope you like it. :)
