Date/introduction
Hi Bart, Eriol, and whoever else may be reading this! My name is Richard, more commonly known (at least on MCME) as Alpapy, I'm a 20 year old Aerospace Engineering major from the West Coast of the USA who has been playing Minecraft since 2013. I'm very excited to be finally submitting my artist application after about a year and a half on MCME. I joined around October or November of 2018, however, I didn't become an active member of the MCME community until around April of 2019.
Jobs and Plotbuilds:
-Anorien/Osgiliath
Birdo7 with ooitsBirdo
I worked on building guard towers around Osgiliath
Birdo6 with ooitsBirdo
I worked on further ruining and block mixing on the dome of stars and the adjacent tower which held the palantir.
Anorienstreams with TeamPalladian
digging out streams in Anorien (I do not have screenshots nor do I remember exactly where this was since it was a few months ago and I failed to take any screenshots then)
-Moria
Two dwarven houses in The Central Dwelling with NicovictheSixth (at the time Nicovicthefifth)
(2nd photo feat GingerlyGinger1 lol)
-Moria cave smoothing with TeamPalladian (was his trial job for foreman, can't remember exactly the name) (also I don't totally remember where it is because Moria is a maze so I sadly don't have screenshots)
Theme Builds
-Annuminas Ruining (7911,64,40475)
Initial planning (I have since learned to use red for buildings)
mostly completed pre-ruining theme
Ruining concept in front of finished unruined theme
Finished product!
Additional Builds
Art Gallery for Mithlondel (exterior only)
Singleplayer city
(sadly I lost this world when i forgot to copy over my Minecraft data when I got a new computer but thankfully I still have a few pictures)
Interests
My favorite styles are elvish and Gondorian, however, the styles I am most comfortable building as of right now are Gondorian and Dwarven (more old Gondorian but the new style also comes fairly easily to me). Based on its appearance in the movies Mordorian styles could also be very fun for me once that is underway. Outside of Lord of the Rings, I like to build things from the Hobbit and Simarillion (lol jk). I have recently taken an interest in medieval Scandinavian architecture and have been building longhouses in my survival worlds and realms (I love the iconic roof style).
Motivation
The first time I logged into MCME I was in absolute awe of what had been built, a feeling which is still there every time I get on. My motivation to apply, I'm sure isn't particularly unique on this server in that I love Tolkien's Middle Earth and I love Minecraft. This server to me is a place where a bunch of people who love these same things I do can work together to do our best work to honor the most expansive and detailed fantasy world ever put to paper. When I first heard about the server in 2018 I knew it was something I wanted to help with, however, my major is very demanding and I wasn't able to get very involved until much later. I can't promise that MCME is or will be my top priority but I think I have more than enough time and skill to be a valuable contributor to this incredible project. There are admittedly many parts of building that I have much to learn about, but I’m a quick and eager learner. Before my Annuminas theme build, I was almost completely incapable of doing vegetation and block mixing, however, from a few misc jobs on osgo houses (which i didn't list under jobs because I dont remember who lead them or which houses I did) I think I got a fairly good handle on it and have really put it to practice. I am proud of the progress I've made and the builds I have contributed to the server and will continue to do so regardless of the acceptance or denial of my application. The purpose of my application, I suppose, is that I believe I have more to contribute and I would be able to do more to help as an artist. Specifically, I am looking to help out in Osgiliath and Moria as currently my most comfortable styles are Gondorian or ruined builds, however, I would also love to contribute to other projects with a bit of guidance until I have its style mastered.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
-Alpapy
P.S.
(The server seems to have reset the date I joined to November 2019, however, I am certain this is in error, especially since i was a part of the battle of Helm's Deep with Node last summer, and this glitch may explain why I no longer have access to some of my older theme builds)
