Minecraft Bi-Weekly Build Challenge #116: Skyscraper

LAST WEEK'S THEME: LARGER THAN WILDLIFE

Gold

I love the atmosphere behind this behind. You know how many people enjoy horror movies when they barely show the monster? You just see small parts of it, here and there. Maybe there's a big reveal towards the end, but it'd only be for a short scene. The unknown is more scary than the known. That's why I like this build. The build itself is very good. But the staging and the positioning of the kraken are what really elevates this build to the next level.

Awesome job!

Silver

Duetica

Well I won't lie and say that this wasn't slightly disturbing. But, that's what made it so good! I love it when builds manage to make me feel something! I also found the general shape of your rat to be well done, and built nicely, however some of the block did seem a little chaotic to me. The mall was a cool setting for it, and I liked how the clean mall was made dirty by this giant monstrous rat. Not sure if that was intended, but liked the imagery.

Great job!

Bronze

Hypropeteus

What a fantastic build. The sheer scale of it is impressive alone, but combined with the fact that your build and snake are just built perfectly adds another wow factor to this build. In a way, this challenge presents a way to easier form animals with joints, or who are in weird positions. Large scale=block to manipulate and sculpt. But that doesn't make it easy. Your snake looked super natural, and very scary climbing up that tower. Only small criticism is we found the tower felt a little out of place with the savanna right next to it, but the build is impressive enough on its own.

Great job!

Honourable mentions

Introduction

We're going back to something I'm sure many people have built in minecraft: The classic skyscraper! These are some of my favourite builds because of the variety. There's so many colours to pick from, and styles! A simple tower in the sky (because that what's this really is) can turn into something very unique, very quickly.

Happy building!

New Textures

Since we have an official release of the new textures, they are now allowed (along with the old ones). However, if you use the new textures, please specify. I wouldn't want to think you're using a texture pack and disqualify you. I'm not as used to the textures, so I may not recognize them right away.
