I personally like to create detailed windows with bricks than using windows bricks, its more original :3

Sylvanor, thanks for that tip!
How do you remove the seams in transparent bricks, if you you're to make your own windows?

Also, thanks King Leo and Anti-Block, I appreciate your comments.

First of all. Presentation is crucial. You did a good job on the op but the way you presented the build in the pictures is quite reckless. There are too much else in the background catching the viewer's eye.

I'm very much for the simplistic and clean stuff so doing such a singular colored building is defo not a minus if you ask me. However I really dislike these "multi-brown-colored" floors. Working with prints and lines instead of colors would of been a better idea. Greyscale stair looks stuff. I like that you've used smooth ceilings. Nice skylights, especially the brickbuilt one with squares.

It's not a bad build. But the overall quality is not enough to get this application accepted. I feel like you try to make this very modern home and then you create these flashy kitsch floors who just ruins the cleanness in the build. The whole shape of the building is to me abit messy and unfitting for such a style you're pulling of. It lacks flow and flair imo. But you got potential dude. It's a no from me though.

Wehr, I think the first build was the only app.. the rest are just random builds he wanted to show off.

This struck me as how I also felt.

Thank you for your suggestions, I will keep them in mind when working on things in the future. Also, you're right, the first build is my application to Cohort, the others are just builds I felt like showing off.

Thanks again for reviewing this, and I'm sorry it doesn't meet the minimum level of quality to be accepted. I'll work to improve it, and will probably apply again in the future.

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

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.

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.

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.

Build Eight|
The Vivid

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).

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

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"!
