12. This Minecraft painting is based on what CS map? | Answer: Dust2
Something I only discovered in the last year or so (after years of playing both Minecraft and Counter-Strike) is that a few of Minecraft’s paintings are actually based on CS maps. The artist behind them, Kristoffer Zetterstrand, would basically noclip around different maps, grab unique angles through screenshots, and then turn those into paintings. If you want a deep dive on this, I’d recommend checking out a fantastic video essay by Q Van Ghoul that breaks down the background and thought process behind his creations.
