So of course, when one builds a lot, it is common practice to take every chance possible to screenshot your precious creations. I can’t say that I’m terribly great at building(In fact, most of my builds are just marginally fancy cubes), but I’ll pester you with them anyway.
(Quick warning, I have sorted each one into a spoiler for future convenience, as most contain a story of some kind, which would take a while to scroll through, sorry if this counts as abuse of the feature)
Without further ado, have fun exploring!
Collection 1- Noob builds, a foray into my first days of Blockheads. Note that these are basic reconstructions, as the ignorance present in the actual works has been lost for ages.
Noob builds 1-The hobbit hole
The hobbit hole, as I have newly named it, was a simple vaguely dome-like shape made of dirt. Was literally an equivalent to a hole-in-the-ground, just not in the ground.

Noob builds 2-The tower of... Art
I’m actually not sure if the hobbit hole or the tower came first, but here is the second variant on awful housing choices. While this is just a basic sample, I remember the actual tower, while similar in design, contained many more materials and was a fair bit larger. More variants on this were made, including a fusion between it and The Rift.

Noob builds 3-The Rift
(No image available, sorry.)
The Rift… Is a complicated build to explain. It was the first in a long-ish line of mono-material, oddly constructed towers. In this case, the shape it took was that of a double helix, made of bricks. A lot of bricks. •-•
Collection 2- The Renaissance, an exploration of my marginally newer builds, created in a period I refer to as my personal Renaissance. This is when I re-joined Blockheads after four years, and my building skills decently improved but still needed work.
Renaissance I, the Cerebrellum
The Cerebrellum was the very first of these rebirth builds. Think of it as the catalyst of everything (literally, as you’ll soon find out) Built of red marble onto a steel floor, it was my pride and joy at the time (and still kind of is). The owner of the server it was built on adminned me a while later, and I built a few more things, slowly reaching 2020, and so on. The interior is a small maze linked by steps and elevators, it even has a few passageways that are semi-secret.

Renaissance II- La Grand Dedede
Contrary to reasonable belief, this creation was not a piece of pixel art, but a hotel named after the owner of the server. Really, it required little actual skill, but I stil smile fondly at it nonetheless. The structure is built primarily from marble, with a basic lobby and check-in, then 100+ rooms in total, split down the side by a large pillar of lapis. The roof of the build is crested with a dimly-lit marble-and-gold sign reading HOTEL. (boy was placing and naming those signs hard!)

Renaissance III-Unds V
Eventually, I heard of 2020, a server by the forums user Gaareth. For some reason, I thought I was conducting industrial espionnage (no clue why), and so changed my username from the classic Testificatering to 2TheUnds. After travelling for sometime, I got a plot and made this ugly little marble igloo with a satellite above. I destroyed it some time after and replaced it with the Unds V, where I established a building corporation (that immediately failed for lack of customers or presence of potential ones). For the overall build, I’d say I only

Renaissance IV-The Circuit
This was a bit of a hidden base I did. Not that bad, all things considered. Essentially consists of steel and cyberpunky paint, with quite a few subdivided storage rooms. Gained its name by apparently looking a bit like a microchip.

Collection 3-Modernity
Pretty much just builds completed after extensive exposure to the forums, I’ll keep adding to this one as I go along.
Modernity 1-Testifican Farms (Phase I)
Just Testifica’s farms in their earliest completed state. More detail on them can be found here and a bit throughout the forums.
Built on: Survival of Time, by PorkyTheChop
Modernity 2-Mountaintop basalt castle
A project that took longer than it should have, consists of a basalt frame filled in with other blocks.

Modernity 3-Desolate Isle and Tulip Megacentre
After coming in to a generous donation of many tulip bulbs and seeds, (thanks @kapaciarz!)I started building somewhere to store them. I first started with terraforming an island and placing two marble towers. This approach proved unsatisfactory in containing the stupendous power of Granny’s Sweater and so I built a massive cube capable of housing a decent amount of tulips instead. Though I’m not sure if the server will be funded after the Great 1.7 Expiry, so I should probably start moving them again. •-•

Modernity 5-My first (completed) pixel art (Christmas 2017?)
A little pixel art of something I had planned to draw (a sprite-ish character drunk on hot chocolate for Christmas) but never got around to. Made almost entirely of painted marble, though the dome and snowflakes are glass.

Modernity 6-Milla’s Message Hall
Planned for it to be a massive bunker-themed area, eventually gave up and just built a palace of dirt for milla, where people could leave their spawn messages. While made of dirt, it’s painted so that the intitial structure looks made of a blue-grey stone, and the domes like aged copper topped with golden tulip gardens.

Modernity 7-Valentine’s Day 2018 (Unihorse)
Here I desperately wanted to be a part of something. Made a quick modified sketch of a bit of a preexisting character, then slowly built them in-game. More info on the building process exists here

Modernity 8-Addition to M6 (Pixmilla appreciation plaque)
When Pixmilla was first opened to the members of the forums, I randomly built a long wall of marble that was painted (I believe) to read: “Thx for everything Milla, ur the best!”
This is just a recreation of that, but with diamond backwall and ruby blocks.

Modernity 9-Cosmosis
“The Titan of Balance, Cosmosis looms over the world, its eight eyes analysing every corner. With the incomtemplatable power gathered in its hands, it manipulates every exchange of elemental matter and energy. Its breath the winds that drive the sun and moon.”
So here it is, a proper completed pixel art after many, many months. Apologies it took so very very long.

Well that’s it. I’ll add more as time passes, please make sure to tell me if there are any mistakes.
