Denied Toki's Builder Application

+1 from me. Good builds, well known player and mature enough to become a builder. The 'Other Faves' are the best for me. Would love to see you as a builder. Best of luck.

 

Been following your building lately. I like what you've done, good luck; +1

 

I would like to see you accepted, you are an imaginative, active player and a good company in general ^^
About your build, they look nice! The trees might be a bit disproportionate though, the trunk too wide for example. It's personal but I like to detail my trees with stairs, fences and different types of leaves. Try out.

The contemporary modern house is good too, I like the tricks you used for the house's exteriors.
I'm not the best to judge a medieval build as I'm not the most experienced with this style, but your houses looks a bit boring in my opinion, they lack atmosphere around them.

Your terrains looks amazing, clearly it's your cup of tea! it's smart to use light blue glass to imitate water. The island surrounded by lava and the mushroom village are good pieces too, maybe you could detail the ground with obsidian trails on the lava one? Just a proposition ^^
There's some work needed on the house with the spruce trees around though, the forest don't really look natural. Try adding smaller trees and more vegetation.
I really like the boat c:

Summarized, you would be a good addition to the build team, however, you have a few technical gaps in your building abilities (such as shading rocks, or disproportions) which a trial week can help you with!
Best of luck

 

Hey!
Seems you've finally applied for Builder! It's nice seeing you apply for it.
Before moving onto giving you my final vote I will pass and check through different areas on my "list".

• First off, I have to say that your application is well-written, long and detailed with the exception of some grammar mistakes but that is not a big deal because as you included you've played on various Swedish servers and live in CEST which possibly means you are Swedish. This leads me to the conclusion that you seem to be a mature person. This already gives you an advantage on your application. +1.
• I have to admit that your builds are very impressive and the effort you put into them is clearly seen. You seem decent in all different styles, something that will give you a great boost into getting accepted. Your weakness is not much of a deal; interior is simple but it can also be made by someone else. +1.
• Lastly and most importantly you are very active and experienced with the server. +1.

On overall, I give you a +1.
Good luck!

 

I think you should also include that CTF map you made even though it's a less recent build. It shows you can do a project from start to finish, and I'm seeing improvement since then as well.

I like your effort. +1

 

Hi Toki,

While I agree with Theo that it'd be great to have you around, your builds aren't quite up to Build Team standard, so I'm going to have to deny you. The good news is that the things I'm not such a huge fan of can all be fixed with practice. A few examples:

• //replacing a surface with multiple blocks is lazy practice, and often looks tacky
• Your suburban house doesn't look architecturally sound, which makes for an awkward-looking build - especially since it's based off real life
• The trees in one of your "other faves" maps are very obviously cut and pasted

Individually these aren't huge issues but altogether they show a slight lack of understanding of good building practices. For people at your stage I like to suggest having a look at some popular PlanetMinecraft projects - they're really good for getting inspiration, copying small details, that sort of thing.

Definitely a lot of potential here, hope to see you apply in the future!
