A Stardew Valley fan created a gigantic portrait of the creator. 20 hours of painstaking work

One Stardew Valley fan decided not to harvest crops, raise animals, or explore mines. Instead, he decided to create a huge portrait of the game's creator, Eric Barone, better known as ConcernedApe.

The picture took up the entire screen and was assembled from numerous items, including statues, chests, and decorative elements. It took about 20 hours to create.

The creator of the work, Stillow, shared the result on Reddit and took fourth place in the list of the most popular posts on the game's subreddit. His project was named Big ConcernedApe.

A technique similar to pixel art was used for “drawing,” with gradients based on brown and slate-blue shades. Stillow admitted that he had not planned the picture in advance — he just picked colors and hoped it would turn out well. And it did.

In the comments, the author explained that he originally played the mobile version, but later switched to PC, where he learned about mods. To gather all the necessary materials, he used the CJB Item Spawner mod. According to him, the idea came literally a couple of days after switching to PC, and work began right away.

“I just wanted to disconnect from everything for a day or two,” he added.
