- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week, I'm going to show you…how to create a mind bending, Minecraft inspired…piece of art inside Photoshop…namely this double bladed axe…which I am of course advocating…that they add to the game.…What I love about it most is that it measures…26 by 26 pixels for a total…of 676 pixels in all.…This is no megapixel image.…This is a hectopixel file.…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…
All right, just to make sure I was getting…the look and feel of things down properly,…I went ahead and scrupulously drew…two of the actual Minecraft tools,…the pickaxe and the sword…in their diamond variations.…These are the two sizes of the tools…so you can see that the pickaxe…is smaller than the sword.…Our double bladed axe is going to be even larger still.…To create it absolutely from scratch,…go up to the File menu and choose the New command…or press control N or command N on the Mac…and make sure that the width and height values…are both set to pixels…and then go ahead and dial in with value of 26 pixels…
