This is the "hotel", it's a salvaged build of something that just wasn't turning out quite like I was envisioning in my head. I dunno, there seems to be something not quite right or missing or something with it. Maybe someone can help me figure out what it is.


Front View

Side view. Three of the four sides have this face in different materials. (Netherack, Soul Sand and Smooth Stone)

And then there is this.........



This is supposed to be a kind of earth ship thing. This build has caused a lot of issues and, looking at it now, looks like the top should be raised up with a layer or two of sandstone. (opinions?) I'm thinking something to adorn the top as well like an arch or spire or something (again, opinions?) The rail will be taken away once all the work is done as its there as an easy way up and down with materials.

I was thinking to use this as central spoke and have other domes or rings come off of this one but am questioning that now. I'm not sure it would look right?

There will eventually be a ruined city under it but this is where I'm at with it now.

Opinions are welcome and will hopefully help me figure out what I'm missing with these.
Thanks in advance.

You could add some balconies to your hotel. That'd help it some. Although in all honesty the faces on the sides is what is throwing off the look.

As fot the spaceship thing, you could leave the top flat except add things like small towers and communication dishes. Stuff you'd see on any ship, even modern ones.

Spaceship is cool.


For the hotel, I recommend getting rid of the sandstone. The color just never looks good to me, dunno why.

That's just me though, trying to help out.

Oh! And like this other guy said, balconies!

^ That and the soul sand. Other then that it looks awesome.

Will have to play with the balcony idea. I was going to make this a cube with faces on all four sides but just wasn't feeling it by the time I finished the third. By then I was invested in it pretty fully with time and materials. I was hoping to save it by giving it a nice face in the front. Not sure what would look good for a balcony though. Smooth stone or stick with the sandstone?

I think with sandstone, the color just doesn't look good against neutral colors like gray or brown. I think that's what's off about it, in my opinion... So stick with making it all sandstone or just go with something else that looks good together.
