Okay, it looks terrible, it makes the front facade look like a face, and they have no sense of positioning or proportion.

Also I'm going to be dead honest, your build looks like a hodgepodge right now.  Pretty decent in terms of technical brick placement, but you have like 5 or 6 architectural themes in there already and you're only on like the third floor.  In order to make your build look cohesive, you need to put variations on already extant themes (like the diagonals that frame the doorway) throughout the build instead of creating new ones.  Also, if I were you I'd mute my color scheme.  I lived 5 blocks from Venice for the better part of three months, and in person the black is very minimal; what stands out is how the black breaks the predominantly crisp white of the facade.  You seem to be going for half and half, which is ultimately not very kind on the eyes.

Who cares if the proportion is not perfect. I've never seen a build created by you anywhere near this epic.

Ha ha, apparently. It was a joke.

And Green Link, you don't get out much, do you?

It's not quite as epic (yet anyway). But it's definitely 'near as epic' as you put it.

I firgured.

[Falcondude]

if I were you I'd mute my color scheme.

I strongly disagree with this. YOU need to stop building in black/white.

Okay, I'll tear down the fourth wall. He posted that in my Empire Tower thread. I was being silly.

And the black/white theme is badass.

I'm not saying you cannot build. I'm saying that in Blockland proportion doesn't matter too much. I also don't think the build you are working on is anywhere as good as this one. This Castle is the best think I have seen sense Loserheros mall. You were also commenting on his color palette, well a color palette sucks if it is only black and white.

Slightly Submerged Castle?

It is very lovey, i love you

Did you not read my above post? He posted that in my thread, ripping my build a new one, and I put it in this one as a joke. As for the black and white color palette, I've made a conscious decision and I think it'll look better in the end. The fact that I use shades of black doesn't show a lack of skill or ineptness to anything. It's what I'm doing, you can bump it or not, I don't care.
