Gallery / Cohort application and a look back [Image Heavy]
« on: June 06, 2013, 02:09:37 PM »
Hey guys,
So, as the summer is upon us, I've decided to make a post going over my larger builds from the last year. I've improved greatly this year, and I feel like my builds are finally starting to look presentable. Also in this post is my application to Cohort. I like the idea of their clan, and would love to help in their projects. To that end, my most recent build is my application, and will be presented first. Click any of the pictures to see it in full size. Feel free to rate anything, on a scale of 0-to-100. Comments of any kind are appreciated!
Build One & Cohort Application|
Amercrumby Finch
Overview
This build is incomplete, but the main building (The one I took pictures of), is my Cohort application. This build was designed to ingest the user's soul (Via lack of color), and render them incapacitated. When finished, it will feature a hot spring, individual villas, and a recreational building.
General Information
Completed| No (Cohort application is completed)
Default Bricks Only| No
Brickcount| (Variable) 21737
Inspiration| VILLA C2-24 & Abercrombie Fitch (No, I have never been in one)
My Role| Built structure, interior & some furniture
Purpose| Architectural study & Cohort application
Date Started| Mid-spring, 2013
Time to Completion| N/A (As of posting, two weeks)
Notes| My graphics card broke twice while building this and my logic board broke once.
Notes (Cont.)| I built the front of this once, then decided I wanted to make it into an actual build, and started again.

Build Two|
Wright
Overview
This build was a school project. It is largely unfurnished, except the kitchen, which was done by BL_ID 7657. The landscape around it is a cut-away version to show the basement.
General Information
Completed| Yes
Default Bricks Only| No
Brickcount| 12266
Inspiration| Robie House &
My Role| Built structure & most interior
Purpose| Architectural study
Date Started| Late-winter, 2013
Time to Completion| One month
Notes| I got a passing grade.

Build Three|
Disith Fleet
Overview
This build was made off a whim, and provided plenty of enjoyment. Many other spaceships were made by visitors to the server, and more than a few battles took place on it's decks. It's large rear propellers feature technology from an alien race, which grinds up microscopic meteorite, and thrusts it out the back for propulsion. It also has side jets.
General Information
Completed| Yes
Default Bricks Only| No
Brickcount| 5858
Inspiration| Disith Fleet
My Role| Built structure & some interior
Purpose| RPG
Date Started| Winter, 2012-2013
Time to Completion| One week
Notes| No, it is not modeled after a snake.

Build Four|
Sunrise in Ibiza
Overview
There isn't much to say about this. I saw a picture, and wanted to try to make it in Blockland.
General Information
Completed| Yes
Default Bricks Only| No
Brickcount| 2074
Inspiration| In Search of Sunrise 6: Ibiza
My Role| Everything
Purpose| Do I need one?
Date Started| Late May, 2013
Time to Completion| An hour
Notes| I was not listening to Tiësto while building this.

Build Five|
Sentosa Cove
Overview
Sentosa Cove, although little has been built yet, is almost completed in my mind. I am very much looking forward to working on this build, as I believe the actual house is a stunning display of hypermodernism, one of my favorite architectural styles. I have grand plans for this, and will probably make a new topic for it when it's done.
General Information
Completed| No
Default Bricks Only| No
Brickcount| (Variable) 2445
Inspiration| Ocean Drive Bungalow
My Role| Everything
Purpose| Architectural study
Date Started| Late May, 2013
Time to Completion| N/A (As of posting, one day)
Notes| I created an Archello account just to rate the actual building.

Build Six|
Workplace
Overview
I really didn't want to include this, but did just to show my progress towards becoming a better builder. It was built thinking of one of Frank Lloyd Wright's studios. It has a restaurant on the street-level, and what is supposed to be an architectural studio on the second floor.
General Information
Completed| Yes
Default Bricks Only| No
Brickcount| 2319
Inspiration| Unknown
My Role| Everything
Purpose| RPG
Date Started| Late Autumn, 2012
Time to Completion| Unknown
Notes| I am not proud of this build.

Build Seven|
The Plan
Overview
The Plan was made to provide housing for the new residents of my city (When I hosted a city RPG). Unfortunately, I built it without a baseplate, so it was only home to one family.
General Information
Completed| Yes
Default Bricks Only| No
Brickcount| ~2,200 (I didn't build it on a baseplate. I've come a long way.)
Inspiration| Unknown
My Role| Everything
Purpose| RPG
Date Started| Late Autumn, 2012
Time to Completion| Unknown
Notes| I built this using the golden ration as much as I could.

Build Eight|
The Vivid
Overview
One of my first "higher quality" builds, The Vivid marks a new page in my Blockland history. Shifting from events (Which I had done for years) to building, I started without much of plan, and just built what I wanted in a house (My ideals have since change dramatically).
General Information
Completed| No
Default Bricks Only| No
Brickcount| ~7,000 (I am using baseplates now!)
Inspiration| Unknown
My Role| Everything
Purpose| RPG
Date Started| Autumn, 2012
Time to Completion| Unknown
Notes| I am not proud of this, either, but I was when I built it.

Build Nine|
World Build
Overview
The idea was to make a basic landscape, and then have people add-on.
General Information
Completed| N/A
Default Bricks Only| Yes (I'm pretty sure)
Brickcount| 9188
Inspiration| Badspot's Blockparty
My Role| Landscape
Purpose| Popularity (Didn't work)
Date Started| Mid-winter, 2012
Time to Completion| N/A
Notes| Nobody found the secret I made.

Build Ten|
LSDTDM
Overview
This is perhaps my greatest build. Perhaps the greatest build in Blockland history. Perhaps, the greatest architectural creation in all of time! Then again, maybe not. I don't remember when I made this, nor how I made it. I couldn't make something like this again, even if I had to. It features RPG elements, a chest-clicking minigame, and visceral combat, complete with equestrian gunfights, and stealth weapons like a blowpipe.
General Information
Completed| Yes
Default Bricks Only| No
Brickcount| 2393
Inspiration| >Enter ambiguous drug reference here<
My Role| N/A
Purpose| Unknown
Date Started| 4
Time to Completion| Unknown
Notes| I could never do this again.
Pictures
I omitted some pictures because of the 20,000 character limit, so if you want to see all the photos, visit my SkyDrive folder.
So, that's it! Thanks for taking the time to read this, guys. If you've been on my server recently, please be sure to say "Hi"!
