New to Minecraft, first big build, water theme park. Opinions? [NSFW]

NSFW

Hi! So as the title says, I'm really new to minecraft, I've got maybe a week of log time. Started up a server with some of my WoW buddies and um...this just sort of happened, lol.

The dolphins I built first, they were a sort of trial run.

Dolphins

Then she came along.

Updated Day Time

Edit: Color change to something more striking. I watched a pixel art video and picked up a new technique that involves checkerboarding blocks to make colors blend better. It had an unexpected but awesome side effect of making her look like she is scaly. :D

So this is going to be a roller coaster, called the "Maiden's Voyage", and the coaster is going to go up and around inside of her body, out through a waterfall on her tail, and down. It will travel along the ocean floor under a glass tunnel surrounded by mermaid and fish silhouettes, until it comes back up under the dolphin's tail.

I'll update this thread as I build more pieces. So...thoughts?

The beacon behind her is a part of someone's tree house haha, not a part of her. =P

It'd be better if you also hosted the pictures on imgur because all of the screenshots are blocked by: Mature content, and you set one to Users only.

New entries are on Imgur. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

It looks surprisingly good, for you being new to the game. Love the hair, but I agree with you about the color.

Ya, I just can't leave it like that. Once you see it you can't unsee it, lol. I'm in the process of changing the tail to a black and white stripe design so that the hair still stands out but there is 0 resemblance.

Oh, that sounds nice; I'd like to see that when you've finished.
