    Hello.
    As you may know, i'm still quite new to this forum, but I am not new to the Building community. In fact, i'm very experienced and have seen a lot during my 6 Years in the Building Community, offering Building Services, classes, tutorials, and even more. This is one the the projects I experimented on after a friend showed me the Behind the Scenes video of the Halo Reach, and I wanted to try something similar to the world of Halo.

    Additional Information :
    Built on - Private Server
    Picture - Imgur
    Years of Building Experience - 6
    Famous Rate - Quite Famous - to Very Famous (I'm pretty hot, being in a lot of Teams and constantly posting Updates about loved projects (Or so I think <3)
    If you haven't noticed from the picture or from my Portfolio pasted in my Signature & Details, I build in the infamous style of PB (Pandora's Blocks Style - A team). Over the years I have bended and tweaked the style so it fits me and expresses my feelings, I call the style Structural Bending. Of course, i'll teach a part of my style in my Structural Class, starting at August 17.

    Not bad, I personally dislike the PB style. This build seems a tad messy too, may i suggest trying to neaten up some areas? :)

    This is the Old PB style. You can say I Co-Founded it. PB is supposed to be Slab + Stair work, not neat and Tidy. Neat and Tidy would be Blockworks, although it's not considered a style, but a cleaner way of building. This is my Structural bending.
    ________________________________
    If you hadn't noticed, on the right side (Tower), it's slightly bent, or is it? I used multiple layers of cobble stairs, cobble and slabs to create the twisted effect, also one of the aspects of Structural Bending. In reality, it's actually a straight pillar with nothing, whatsoever. This style creates deception and inceptionates the entire atmosphere of the build itself. However, in my more recent builds, I have used neater techniques to hint more spaces, like the Airship I will be releasing soon.

    If you think so. :)
    ________________________________
    You can't bend with straight lines, is all i'm trying to say. I'll make it clear now that Bending is supposed to be messy, + the immense use of PB styles. Besides, you're only talking about the lower half of the Tower, right?

    Halo reach has some of the coolest structures I've seen. Try building some of the covenant or marines bases. They each have unique styles and color schemes

    I remember when building in minecraft was
    making either a wood shack, a stone shack, a wood and stone shack, or even a dirt shack.

    Those where the simple days.
    Now I suppose it's all artistic stuff my simple mind that only wants to smash all moving things cannot understand.

    Now to be serious, all your text completely mindfucked me. So you're saying you're a professional minecraft builder.
    That's.. Something.
    That's like saying you're a professional football fan or something.

    Also, the thing doesn't even look all that great in my opinion.
    It looks like it'd collapse instantly if physics would apply to it, if that's intentional I got no idea, since I haven't played any halo games. It is also pretty darn grey. I like the color grey, don't get me wrong, but it works better when there's more than just, well, grey.
    I thought everybody knew by now that bedrock is ugly, and shouldn't be used for building purposes.

    The build is ok though, I do like the block variation, giving it a way more textured look, instead of just bland cobblestone or something.
    The shape is.. Weird. But it's probably supposed to be all weird and stuff, so I'll let it slip this time.

    The building is misshapen in a way that it kinda reminds me of a building sized, living version of these:

    Indeed, I make money off building, can countless times iv'e received numerous orders with high price ranges. Besides, Halo is space looking and very industrial like, there isn't supposed to be color at all, in a sense. I don't think Proffesional football fans can make money, so you can't make that comparison in this sense. Hey, Halo isn't what you see everyday. You don't see flying aircrafts, floating blocks or anything around your local supermarket, but why should you? The point is, it's fiction. No need to get too worked up about anything. Also, if you'd follow my Twitter you would know my preffered pallete is dark colors, dark logs, all kinds of stone, some clay, emerald, hay, bedrock, and ice.

    Alright! Could you fetch me a picture, perhaps?

    I appreciate your thoughts. I will sincerely try to make a change to my next build.

    I can see where you're coming from about instability. The left side does look unstable, but Halo does favor overhanging stuff in architecture. Halo has much more unreasonable stuff going on too. I did Halo quiz up 3 years ago and I still remember that one question which screwed me over.
    How long is a CSO class supercarrier?
    I random guess like 4000 feet long. NOPE 30 KM LONG

    Halo structures really like towering spires for the human structures and sleek purplish alien style architecture for covenant structures.
    Here's some links. (I did a lot of space ships because they really show the difference in design)

    wow, lack of autolinking on forums sucks

    Also personally think it looks a little incomplete. Maybe add something on the left side?
    I do like the pillar

    Welcome to the new world. It's been around since 2014, Individuals building for starting servers, even Mineplex, Hypixel, had to start somewhere. I am one of those individuals.
