This is what I've been up to since becoming a Builder

Building4 - Map: Builder4

Building4 has several secret and interwoven passages to explore and I'm still refining it. The jump from the top goes through the sphere in the middle, the pit, the water level, library/forge level and then hits the bottom where there is a passage leading to Julfire's Maze or you can take the stairs back up through building 4 to the top.

Also, what became Building4 was originally just a temporary jump building I made over a pit that I helped Julfire and Dejong dig. The original jump building I made was heinous, and I didn't want to build in guest maps anymore so I just keep working with it until it wasn't completely ugly. Julfire had moved on to other projects, so over the next several weeks I kept adding to the building and then started to create the water level under the pit area. Eventually I built all the way down to Julfire's Maze/Aquarium, which still has a nice goldfish in it.

All my buildings are freestyle, though the spawn point ended up looking like a mandala from above unintentionally. One thing that I think has helped refine my buildings style (or lack thereof, depending on your perspective) is to make them to be explored and not just looked at. Building4 is the best example of this, because all the passages and stairways are made so that a person without hacks can get around. I tried to make the open spaces varied enough so that it had visual depth and texture from structure rather than just different colored blocks on flat walls.

Also, all the water and lava is on multiple levels with plausible connections between them. So the water that runs down the gutters (which double as elevators) from the roof/jump point, collects in the moat surrounding the pit, feeds into all the water systems in the first underground level, then goes all the way down to the bottom through a series of channels and waterfalls.

Anyway, thanks everyone who gave me feedback on my buildings.

Building5 - Map: Tall Art
Outside

Inside down

Inside up

turned out nicely! it's way more then when i was helping...   

Terrewee, your contributions are still there and you're welcome to build off it or modify as you like.

I tried to keep the majority of the building within the 19x19 square so that maybe if someone wanted to use it as a spawn point it would be easier to cut and paste? The only things that go outside of those bounds are the multiple levels of exits I made underground. I was thinking of adding several exits on the upper floors as well, but I think I'd only do that if it was going to be used as a spawn point. I also built an aqueduct all the way from Building5 to MrMonkey's underground castle and found all sorts of interesting things hidden around the map.

You're a great builder Xoiiku

Maybe it can be used as a spawn for the next tall art map.

Which one, I mean either of them would do awesomely

The big tower...
