Like those shark statues, artist drew this dynamic sculpture where they're swirling in a circle, and in the game, where the guy who actually made the level had to interpret it and build it, it turned into 2 blocky shark-shaped objects on the sides of the road.
Again, if artist knew it would be blocky, he would drew it blocky, he would adjust shapes, materials and poses for original idea to look good in blocky form.
Not to mention there's murals, ornamens and slanted shapes there. There's no point in drawing all that if you know the basic limitations of minecraft style.
