I am just checking out your Cottage of Lost Play TB, and it looks really stunning! The exterior is especially awesome and one can really see how much time and dedication you have put into it! You seem to have really gotten the hang out of the resource pack as well and you use a large variety of blocks from it and you also bring in things like the custom heads or paintings that many don't know of, or that the cocoa plant depicts a lantern!

I've closely looked at your build and found some detailed things that you should be aware of; first I thought it's only very few things and that you're ready for the rank, but by now I've found quite some things that you should be watching out for as an Artist in any build, and I'd like to give you a week more time to think about and understand those:

• The floor on the ground level, as well as the walls and floor in cellars are almost always out of a stony material. That's because the ground is usually moist from the groundwater and wood would rot away fairly quickly.
• Don't use full planks blocks for tables, better use stairs or piston heads. The latter you can get by typing /get misc.
• A recurring thing to watch out for is occuring in many places of your build: Which materials to stack ontop of which. Generally no material should support another material, that's heavier. This concerns combinations such as stone ontop of wood, stone ontop of dirt or gravel, logs, stone and wood ontop of grass blocks: Imgur: The magic of the Internet, Imgur: The magic of the Internet, Imgur: The magic of the Internet
  Stone fences ontop of leaves can be discussed, I could agree with that its just an overgrown stone fence, but then it may be better to put the leaves ontop of the fences, not presume the fence goes through the leaves.
• Then, do not make arches using log beams, log beams should pretty much always be straight and without gap within them to keep their structural stability: Imgur: The magic of the Internet.
  
• Your crop fields are beautifully colorful, but for practical reasons I would strongly advise to make your fields in a more orderly fashion and group each type of crop together rather than spreading and mixing them together: Imgur: The magic of the Internet
• Floating is a no-no Imgur: The magic of the Internet
• This roof-extension seems overly bulky and massive to me. Try something with fences as support and plank slabs for a slightly slanted or even flat roof: Imgur: The magic of the Internet
• You could argue that this is a painting of a flower, but I would recommend fetching a flower pot and putting your flower into it, looks a lot better! (All saplings and flowers should go into a flower pot)
• Don't put furniture in places where it's clearly too tight and uncomfortable to use them. Detailed interiors are better than empty rooms, but it can also be too crowded Imgur: The magic of the Internet
• I think in the middle part of the building you forgot the upside down stairs at the roof: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Many of those things are things that you'll encounter in many builds as an Artist. I would recommend you fix those in your build and really think about them for a second to understand why these are important details! You're very close now, keep going!
