Hello all!
I have wanted to fill out an application for the build team since day one, but I didn't think I was known enough at the time, but now I've been on for a bit and have added a store to the mall and a house at Akkara (on top of my mine/base area, which is probably 70ish percent done). So here is my application

An explanation of why you think you would be a good fit for a build team:
My formal education (starting in high school) has all been based on art and design, with college courses and formal training in architecture, industrial design, and (most recently) character design and special effects make-up art. So I would mostly bring design and ideas for building, especially tricky and delicate patterns. I am creative and imaginative, and pretty good at finding clever ways to make design elements work within a build. With my architecture background I would bring a decently sized knowledge of many different architecture styles ranging form Eduardian mansions to post-modern cabbage buildings like the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao... I also have a large knowledge of existing buildings and archaeological sites to help with inspiration. Finally I have a good attitude toward helping with materials and time, and I am pretty quick at building, mining and teraforming.
Description of your build style:
I adore late victorian architecture, feudal Japanese architecture, and especially modern architecture (as in the movement in the 1960s that Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and Mies Van der Rohe were a part of, not post modern that Gehry, Lebeskind and Foster are currently a part of, although I like that too). I tend to choose a style and keep within it for all of my builds in a world, and for the server I have kind of stuck with the feudal Japanese style, but I have thrown in fantasy elements and a bit of antiquated South American style to keep it tied into the rest of what's going on on the server. In my personal survival world I am building all fantasy builds, and currently I'm working on a step-well and Colosseum, complete with naval battle going on in the center, and in the horror map that I'm working on for my let's play series I build mostly industrial sci-fi, which is to say dirty sci-fi, lol.
What you feel your best attribute of building is:
I feel my best attribute is my flexibility and ability to build from a LARGE span of different styles from different cultures and time frames. Apart from what I've listed, I also have a modern European cabin in sur1, I've built the library of Alexandria, a Ziggurat, Aztec pyramic and greek builds, Frank Lloyd Wright's falling water, dwarven mines many rockets, airplanes and boats.
Screenshots of builds you have done
The best way I could think to post screen shots was to put them on my gaming channel's tumblr page as I know it will be okay for anyone to look at them, and I wanted to post like 24 pictures, lol. The posts are for my horror world (the orange colored worlds) and my vanilla world, and then of course what I've done on the server, including sur1. Also if anyone wants to see my builds, I'm on a lot and would love to show the ones that are on the server.

probably in game; I have a discord, but I don't actually have discord yet. I'm working on it though, lol.
