    You might just need more builds in general. Multiple examples to present in your application.

    I suggest making a convo with a builder. They will provide you with more constructive criticism. You might also want to post this build in the 'Your Work' section of the forums, as many people can see your builds and give you pointers.

    Right now, I'd say your two main issues are thus:
    1) Your color palette. The purple and orange don't fit with (what seems to be) your main theme of red and blue. They look out-of-place and weird.
    2) The amount of noise. The blocks you use (cobble, mossy cobble, the prismarine block) have quite a lot of texture and overwhelm the viewer. There is also the issue of sea lantern spam, almost as bad as torch spam. It doesn't create a sense of atmosphere and looks artificial. A small issue is the cave walls. I suggest making them rounder (as most caves are carved out of water, thus it should be round. for some reason). The floor could also use more detail, as being flat contrasts with the more natural-looking ceiling. I suggest putting in a few columns, (longer) stalactites, and stalagmites. Some deformities in caves take the shape of bulbous, uh, spheres... protruding out of the ground.

    i think i used the phrase "I suggest," too many times :c

    Wow nice builds. I got a tip for you though. Download the Wynncraft resource pack and see what looks best with it and improve from there

    And maybe try to make something wynncraft themed

    Btw did they reject you or they aren't responding? They say which apps are open

    I'vedone many of them and posted them into the application, here they are http://rlll93.imgur.com/all/

    They 5 times rejected me with my old builds, now I've done this and I'm waiting
    my old builds: http://rlll93.imgur.com/all/
    ________________________________
    Thank you, but this should be a dungeon of water and fire (even tho I've just done a piece of the fire section, and ven tho you are not the first to tell me my palette is not the best, I think, when the build will be done it will.
    I thought a cave of sea lanterns would look cool, but it didnt... I could change that, tnx for an advise.
    I've made the walls in world painter and it was one of my first maps, so i'll try to do it better with WE or VS.
    The columns are a great idea
    I provided only one picture, because I provided A video as well where I built it
    And I provided them with more pictures (here they are http://rlll93.imgur.com/all/ )
    Thank you for a help

    You explicitly stated that the build you were working on was unfinished. I can't give criticism on the water part because you haven't built it yet.
    Also, imgur hates me for some reason and won't let me view your other builds.

    Final Remarks:

    Like @Poiu429 said, making a conversation with a member of the build team (https://wynncraft.gamepedia.com/Content_Team#Builders , NOT GRIAN***) is a good idea. Frankly, the message you get on the forums is an automatic message, and based on the amount of times which you have applied, it's not reiterating a good message to you. Asking a current member or past member of the team for advice goes a long way, and their advice is credible.

    When it comes to building, organized structure goes a long way. Don't be like: "hey I'm gonna place random sea lanterns for light" or "I'm going to place a random tower here or a random organic because it needs something more". Instead, try to plan out your builds ahead of time. Some players use a method of marking (via wool, for example) to show what part of the build is going to be where. As an example, imagine you are building a castle. In 2 dimensions, you could (on the ground), make 4 circles in red wool to mark the towers, and then 4 lines of orange wool connecting them to mark the walls. You could also had some blue wool where doors will be. Then inside the walls you can rinse and repeat.

    Your palette also matters. Frankly I have had disagreements about palettes, and certainly some players will think certain palettes are better than others. Palettes can consist of a few things:
    1. Colour:
    If you are building in a cave, and the cave has walls made of stone or other variants of stone, then the cave base layer is "gray". Unless you are artistically choosing to go with gray as your color choice, sometimes colors like reds or blues or greens can go good with gray and mesh well. Wood variants also do as well.
    2. Block types:
    You don't want to plaster your build with diamond/emerald/iron/gold/coal blocks nor do you want to use stair/slab/cobble-wall/fence spam. You want to be able to see what is behind each stair/slab/fence/wall placed. There should be more visible areas of depth, rather than depth covered by stairs, if that makes sense. I googled "depth", and found this: https://static.planetminecraft.com/...screenshot/1433/thumbnailfinal7985831_lrg.jpg
    This is a good example of the transformation.

    Finally, your structure, if it's going to be used for gameplay, it needs to work for gameplay.

    Finally, I suggest really doing some practice. I don't really like to "pitch" plot servers, but those are good both for examples (if the plots are nicely done) and for working in boundaries and doing your own terrain. You don't have to build all in singleplayer, just make sure that your work is your own work, and it's original.

    Thank you.
    1) I have already started a conversation with a builder, but because I couldn't find any list of builders here on forums and Grian was the only one I knew I sent it to him...
    2) I used worldpainter for this and I thought that the sea lanters would look good, but you and many others don't.
    3) I use the method of marking sometimes, but yes, I should use it more often.
    4) I do build on plot servers and I to things like this: [​IMG] [​IMG]

    terrain is key,

    you can have @LarzLapiz at a rubbish tip and he would blend in perfectly
    but if u put him anywhere else he looks very bad

    I actually linked that in my original comment. See below.

    Grian generally will not respond to you, in fact, if he does, I'll be very surprised. I already linked in my comment, and @Pokextreme did as well where to find the updated list of builders. When you go to that link, and click on one, it'll even direct you to their forum profile. In fact I'm also a builder and just gave you a ton of feedback.
