You accidentally linked the hairstyle twice, can you re-link the outfit picture? I don't like the big girl eyes either so I'll try to make something that looks nice!
It looks beautiful! I love the colors and the intricate shapes. My friend and I are thinking about making an eastern-style monastery in the future and this is really inspiring.
When I first started playing Minecraft, I built a cobblestone cube with dark oak planks as a flat roof on top. It was immediately called ugly by my faction mate on the server... Pretty understandably!
Now , 4 months later I've moved on to better, more detailed builds. The key to building is detail - if it's too plain and flat it usually doesn't look very good. Start by doing some research, look at pictures of other Minecraft builds and (this is important) look at photos of real buildings. It helps to pick one theme and stick to it for several buildings, that way you can experiment with variations of the same techniques and try using the same block palette different ways. Plus you can compare your finished results and see what techniques you like best to use in the future!
Experiment with different types of buildings. Start by making a few houses, make each one different. For example a 1 story house, a 2 story house, an L-shaped house, a house with a small tower attached... and so on. When you are comfortable building houses, make something larger or something with a different shape - like a big clocktower, a police station, a stables, a fancy bank. These specialized buildings give you a chance to try new colors and work with new blocks.
When you make a building, it helps to have depth. Minecraft is by nature very flat with all the blocks, but just building a flat wall doesn't look the best. So make a frame for your building that is 1 block in front of its wall out of a complementary block color (for example, a spruce log frame for a stone brick wall). Make the frame before making the walls so you can plan out the shape of the building and then just fill in the walls. When you make a roof, give it a 1 block overhang so it isn't flat against the walls. You can experiment with interesting roof shapes - build pointy ones, sloped ones, etc. Roofs are something it helps to look at reference images and other Minecraft builds for.
Lastly, details really help make a build special! You can add detail by putting small things on the exterior such as fence rows on walls (as a decoration), flower boxes outside windows, chimneys, designs on walls, and whatever you can think of. Use blocks creatively. Also, I love to decorate interiors because they make builds come alive. In an interior you can add a fireplace, a living room with a couch (stair blocks) and carpet, a kitchen (hoppers/cauldrons make good sinks, and furnaces with a trapdoor on top are good stoves), bathroom, bedroom, study, and more. You can decorate interiors however you want and they're a lot of fun to make.
I hope these tips are helpful! I attached a few screenshots of my builds as examples. Good luck and have fun building

Have you made the rooms yet? Take some screencaps and I can give ideas that will fit into the space.
For inspiration here are some pictures of the vault home my friend and I made

Here is a 5 block wide one with an overhang, and a 4 block wide design

Okay, I've made 2 smaller designs. Its hard to fit anything smaller than 5 blocks wide, though

@ItzShaddy I have completed your skin! I made two versions, one with blond hair and one with brown hair.

@FameNotLame Thanks for the vivid description, Jack! Here is your fisherman skin. If there's anything you'd like me to change, please let me know.
Edit: I realized I gave him grey hair instead of white hair. Let me know if you want a version with white hair

Hi, I'm Offginks and I enjoy making digital art. I am offering free human skins to anyone who asks for a request.
Guidelines:
1. Skin must be appropriate, no nudity, offensive words/symbols etc.
2. Skin must be a human character, simply because I am not good at making animals
3. Skin design should not be derivative (I will not do a "teen" skin with headphones and a hoodie, mob face skins, things you see everywhere)
4. Skin will be uploaded as soon as I can get it done, within 5 days or so. Probably sooner!
5. All skins I make must be on the Steve (4 px arm) template, because the program I use only supports that. Plus, it offers a bit more detail.
Please describe how you want the skin to look, what color scheme to use, and if possible feel free to include an image reference.
Here are some images of skins I've made, all done from scratch. Thank you for reading

No problem, if you could upload some pics of your courtroom I can try making something that will fit in the space.

I put together a small and simple judge's bench. How large is your courtroom?
