The Easter Egg is pretty cool, and I thought the addition of the swinging pendulum was a nice touch to the clock. 

However, I think the pixel art of tools are a bit too simplistic to qualify for advbuilder. A more complex and detailed pixel art would be needed.




Try and build at least 1 more very well made build that isn't as boxy/rectangular, or a bigger and more detailed pixel art, and post pics of it in here.

Pixel art isn't that hard if you know what you're doing, look at these for some inspiration.

Better, But it still looks a little small. Of course, make lots of these, and you'll get ADV No Prob. And by lots, I mean 10 or more... But you should really try to be original with what you pixelize. Video game characters are usually the go-to choice, because they're already pixelized. Try one that's at least 75 blocks high, and around 50 blocks wide and see how that turns out.

As Takinomfan said, try building something really challenging that's out of your comfort zone. But your pixel art is improving and you are on the right track, whyitell.

Nothing personal, and probebly doesn't matter, but it has been made like... a lot of times...

Whyit, Megaman has been used to pieces... Glenn speaks true. Plus, I meant find a picture that isn't pixelized, and pixelize it. Any Google search will bring up that exact pixel image, and then all you're doing is copying. Try taking the isnperation from elsewhere. Ex: My Eevee and Jolteon were made by a friend in beads, so I enhanced it, then pixelized it. They turned out great. the Charizard I made by pixelating a scene from one of the pokemon movies, The Mudkip from the anime, the Rayquasa was from a painting, and Pikachu was from a pokemon card. The Meganium was a test to see if I could make a flat image... Didn't turn out so well...

The Lava spiral is great, but it's a square. If you like building that sort of thing, try a spiral that loops around the server. Not just one big one, but one around 10 wide that bends and twists and loops. If you could pull that off, Adv is yours almost instantly.

You have to remember that Adv means that you have already made lots of builds that took thousands of blocks and made them into something that looks worthwhile. Heck, try tens of thousands. The bigger the better.
