    Would you consider yourself experienced with WorldEdit? Why? - Well, yes. I have been using World edit for quite some time now and have used most of the commands with different styles of building. Even though I'm not the best, I'm definitely experienced.
    Would you consider yourself experienced with VoxelSniper? Why? - No, I know of it and how to use it generally, but I have never really used it with my builds.

    How active would you be on Brawl's Build Team? (A couple hours per week, one hour per day, etc.) - A couple of hours a week, I will probably be more active during the holidays or weekends though.
    Why do you want to join Brawl's Build Team? - I've applied before but I needed to have more builds to actually show, so I took my time to make more and in that time I have gotten better as well, so win-win. But I also want to help the community and make some more friends on brawl, as well as still being able to work on my building skills too.

    What would you consider your greatest strength with building? (Detailing, Terraforming, Houses, Trees, Statues, etc.) - Detailing and Fantasy styles. Though I'm also good at Modern builds and other styles, but fantasy has always been my big favourite.
    What would you consider your greatest weakness with building? (Detailing, Terraforming, Houses, Trees, Statues, etc.) - Trees.

    List any previous experience you have with building - With some new servers I used to go around and build spawns for them if they needed it and then help anymore if they wanted me to. Sorry I don't have any pictures. I'm also a WE Pro on creative but when I look back on those builds they weren't exactly my best builds.

    Pictures: (Include as many pictures of your builds as you can. If you do not include pictures, your application will be automatically denied. When possible, include proof that the builds are your own.)
    These are all on brawl mcbuild in my world on one map.

    It only let me upload 10 photo's, I can give you more if you want but I'm not sure how.

    To upload more photos, make Imgur Albums, they are better, and let you show way more pics.

    +1, I think your builds are fine, I really like the terraformings, mainly the arches.

    One thing with your giant mushrooms, you made the "trunk" pretty random (considering the blocks placed), but the top of the mushroom seems to be generated with Worldedit, try to have more asperities to make it more random, it's flat in your pics.
    I hope you understand what I mean

    However when you make mushrooms or do terrain, try to make it look like world edit sphere weren't used. You can do this by visiting it with your hand and smoothihg it out/roughening it, could also select a region and do //smooth (for terrain), I quite like your style too but mainly just the world edit.

    -1 from me I'm afraid. There's not necessarily anything wrong with your application, it's just that your builds aren't quite up to Build Team standards. Feel free to prove me wrong by showing me a few of your spawns, though. In the meantime, here's some things that caught my eye which you might want to work on.

    Detailing
    Randomising blocks is not the same as detailing. I've mentioned this quite a lot in the past but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt: using //replace block1 block2,block3,block4 doesn't look great and comes off as pretty amateurish. There's always a better way to make your build look more detailed.

    Terraforming
    Another way of measuring building ability is by seeing the extent to which you terraform the ground. Realistically you're never going to get perfectly flat ground unless it's landscaped, and having this next to your steep hills and large arches - with which you've made no effort to blend into the ground - can be quite jarring. For most builds this isn't a huge issue but when your world looks like the gargamel seed, poor terraforming is obvious.
    Following from this, you haven't smoothed your arches or mushrooms very well - there's places where you can see exactly where you placed a sphere.


    Buildings
    Everyone knows how to make a medieval house. Try something more adventurous.

    For what it's worth I don't think you're a bad builder at all; you're miles ahead of most of those on Brawl. I just think you need to step out of your comfort zone a little more, and hopefully with that will come improved building skills.

    Good luck!

    Sorry but can you please put that in a different colour? I'm having trouble reading it. Sorry.

    I agree. I can easily see the world edit, and when I try and look at the build, I don't see a whole ton. I like your animals. I would like to see a build of yours that has no world edit in it. For now, its a +0.5 I would like to see some more of your own work though.

    I agree, there is nothing wrong with your application bud :smile:
    I am gonna keep my advise short and sweet; I would expand and show more pictures of different style builds to show variety. You talk about them, but never show them.
    +0.5
    Your current builds are very nice and would be a great complement to the team, but more variety would help you out a bunch!
    Keep on doing whatcha doing and good luck!

    I think you need to work a bit on your ground block placement and terrain. Also, try expanding your styles that you build with, as I only currently see medieval with a bit of fantasy. Denied, feel free to reapply in a month if you feel you've improved.
