Hello all pones, just putting out a call to whoever has the time and the will to judge my CMC test. Whatever you have to say, I want to hear it, all the bad, the good, and the ugly. As long as its helpful, throw it my way.

Plot is located at /warp s73

Thank you for your time :D

the good:
-Its a fairly simple house, some might consider it too simple, yet when you look in the background of the show, simple is all that there is.
-I like the tree you made, not needed, but a very nice touch.
-your use of ceiling blocks inside caught my attention the most, rather different and not something I've personally seen done often.
-framing visable, this at least to me, gives a certain amount of continuity/detail always nice to see.

The bad:
-not sure what the hopper and chest are for in your kitchen. the chest is what stands out the most to me, hoppers we've used for sinks etc.
-trip wire hooks, while ok you need to watch out if your using trapdoors on the other side, in your case you have some that are always going to be open, and look off.
-while plants are good to have, you may, mind you just my opinion, may have a bit of an overgrowth on your house.
-flowers, I noticed you only used one type of flower, while this is ok, diversity also will help draw eyes to things, and it adds more details

I know this was rather blunt but its just my observations, what you do is ultimately up to you
Overall, its a nice improvement over your last attempt.

+ Your interior's done very nicely, it's nice to see someone who can do interiors well off the bat.

+ Thank you for not putting an excessive number of cobwebs for the smoke from the chimney!

 

- The exterior is pretty claustrophobic. Take note that very few Ponyville houses have so much foliage around them, realistically they have a few bushes and some vines on the roof at most. The tree is pretty but not really necessary.

- The player head on your mantelpiece is creepy at best.

- The stumpy-looking thing from the fireplace on the outside is a little funny-looking.

- Some of your windows are in weird places.

- The gradient on the roof is a little too flat.

- You could have been a little more imaginative with the shape of the house.

 

Although I have more bad points than good ones, this is actually quite a nice build. I wouldn't say 100% that it would pass or fail, but it's leaning more towards a pass. Good luck! If you don't manage to get the rank this time, also make sure you practice before going straight for it.
