RedeagleVI's Architect application

Sun Dec 18, 2016 5:54 pm

The Rank I'm applying for is: Architect

My Game Name is: redeagleVI

My Project is called: The crystal turtle cavern

To get to my project: It's located at -13338,65,-4484 (according to the survival map)

A brief description of my project: It's a giant turtle statue made mostly of cracked stone bricks, prismarine bricks, and dark prismarine bricks. Approximately 59 bricks long and 33 bricks wide, it took me about 3 days to build. It has a repeating 3-dimensional hexagonal pattern on the shell that follows down and transitions sideways as the shell curves and prismarine lanterns for eyes. In addition, it is called a cavern as it has a connecting tunnel that leads out from the land and enters the turtle from underneath. The entire inside of the turtle is hollow and lit by torchlight. The pattern and colors that show through on the inside create a nice patterned, wide open cavern, about 8 blocks high in the center.

Three mandatory screenshots:
I hope this is enough info... I included more than 3 screenshots as there were a few different aspects I wanted to show.

I've visited this build in-game and had a further look around. Bear in mind this is my first rank application that I've answered so it may not be perfect xD.

Uniqueness: 7/10 - Not many statues have been built never-mind water statues.

Beauty: 5/10 - Its nice looking from the outside. However when looking inside and under there are some areas that let it down a little. For example, torches spammed on the floor to light an area up. It's little things like this that hurt it.

Execution: 3/10 - Now this may seem harsh but let me tell you why. On the front-right flipper (I think that's what they're called) there is some scaffolding left over. Also, there are various dirt blocks leftover underneath the flippers in corners to scaffold. The flippers also end at water level, meaning the turtle is just floating above water. If you extend its flippers or move the turtle into the water more then the execution would rise. Lastly, there is a huge hole in the turtle's throat.

Scale - 4/10 - It's a fairly normal-sized structure however lots of it is hollow.

Total: 19/40 - This is enough for Apprentice however you need 30/40 for Architect. I think there is some potential in this build if you improve the execution and perhaps make some more statues around it. Also, maybe you could make use of the inside area and turn it into something functional.

Thank you very much!! ^_^

I'm glad to have gotten someone new as we have this in common! This is the first time I've ever applied to anything for minecraft or posted on this forum! I thought your review was very strict, but fair, and I really appreciate you taking the time to go to my build and inspect it.

Quite honestly I just found out about this application process and I actually built this Turtle several months ago. As you pointed out, my finishing details need work, and I know this as I do have a problem with starting too many projects and not being able to complete them haha :P

Now that I know how the application process is scored and what I can expect, I will make adjustments and return with new projects that are even bigger and better! This was a very constructive experience for me!
