Pretty nice!



-Constructive Criticism-

The walls could use more depth and detailing, with the walls on the second floor (or roof level) they are very flat and plain, try adding some designs and more shape to it. Overall, it's pretty good though!

My review: Your colors are okay, but your roofs lack detail, and your builds lack depth. Other than that, you seem to be going in the right track. Try experimenting with complex wall patterns. Also, watch some voxelsniper tutorials to get better at voxeling.

you might want to ask for constructive criticism rather than say something as blanketty as "am i a good builder" because it can be interpreted as, y'know, a tad egocentric
especially with the bump

Looks fine, but its a very common building style, so try and make it more original.

It's not bad but like people have said its not very original. I can't really judge your building skills from 1 picture.

Just because I like the tudor style doesn't mean I can't make it original. Also, I just wanted to know if the building looked good. I don't see any good build on your profile but a single pixel art.

For some inspiration, here's my grandfather's old Tudor-style house (which he sold several years ago):

It's really good. Try adding a little more detail on the attic wall. It looks a little bland and flat as it is.

I am having such a hard time creating my own style. I really like the way that the Tudor style looks and gives me a hard time changing styles. ;-;

I would consider you a ok-good builder. I like your advance shapes in the house, and keeping in mind you aimed for realism, I would say not bad. Maybe you would like your windows to be more accessible, like add a pedestal so that people have a actual purpose for that window there, not just for viewing. Throw in a bit of depth, but don't over do the depth, because it would get rid of the implied shape and support that a house needs to fulfill the realism criteria

This is Minecraft, where you don't need to be realistic. You can build anything you want. Do you really think trees float in real life? No. You can build whatever you want as realistic as possible but it will never be. I never said that it was suppose to be 100% realistic; it's suppose to be a simple build just for fun, which I wanted a simple "yes" or "no" if other's liked it also.

Don't listen to what people say about depth, it just makes the building look cluttered. Houses in real life don't really have depth, not even medieval houses.

Anyway, it's a good house, but you should do something with that huge attic space. Maybe an extra floor or something.

Also, this house style is called Tudor Style, not "Medieval".

True, but we still need to bring out some walls or pillars for the sake that the scale of blocks in this game, thinking in a realistic point of view, is ridiculously huge. So we have to combine both building elements in minecraft and realism to get what we want.

I know, but what does that have to do with depth?

It has 2 floors but I haven't included the attic. I did none of the interior because I'm not good with them. Also, I'm new to building so I don't know many styles.

I know you got lot of opinions already, but I hope you still mind checking on some more...

As many people said, it's nothing special/ original. I agree with that, but I believe you picked the right decision to make it unspecial. At the start, just copy other builds, recreate them, add few more details you want to change etc. With experience of that you will get a right feeling what's good. That way you'll get even better.
I advise you only that you should start making scenarios/ story to your builds. Honestly, when I look at your build, I tell to myself: nice build, just right big, just right details, good pick of details, usable,... but something still missing. Who live in that house? Elves, humans, dwarfs, normal villager? Miner or fighter? Where is that building placed, in the mountains or plains, which biome? I simply can't decide.

Without being that solved, build will be classic and nice. But with story you'll make people remember your build.

I like the style. And the roofs? Just lovely. Though, maybe you can experiment a bit more with the lighting?

Good job, though!

I haven't done the interior, just the outside so it's just the torches from the inside of the building. Soon I'll start changing things up and create my own style of building, it's just that I like midieval so much.

You're above average, though you could use some depth tutoring. I'd be happy to help you in that respect.

Its good, but as a few other people have said, not original at all. Overall, I would say your a good builder unless you just looked at google images and copied it...

It's kind of hard to copy something from an image. Also, I just starting building again so I decided to make something easy. Stop hating.

I would say above average new builders. It is impossible to judge your building technique from only one small medieval building, especially as medieval building is often seen as one of the easiest building styles to execute in minecraft. Maybe post some pictures of some other builds, but building in general should just be fun, don't compare yourself with others!
