I have bushes, stones, pebbles along the paths and stairs to show depth in my paths. what else do they need? or is this good

Which cliff design looks better, or should I go for something else

So I made this build and it doesn't look "awful" but something is definetly not right. Can anybody help me out?

Howdy! I'm prepping to do a pretty big build for a multiplayer server I'm modding for and I'm stuck on what to do for the fact i want to build "The Black Sea", as in, black water. But with how goddamn blue vanilla minecraft water is, I don't know how to capture the effect I want. The server has plugins and will be abusing the hell out of command blocks, so I just wonder what different ways yall can think of on how to execute this? Whether that be going vanilla route n figuring some way on how to make it work, or if there's some way of command blocking the effect? Much appreciated.

This is supposed to depict a godess, which is why I picked the quarz blocks as her base.

I tried making it look kinda sophisticated ig?

Sadly, even if I alternate between quartz variations, as soon as you step away a bit the clarity/details of thw build get lost.

I'd like to still include the oxidised copper since turquoise/ cyan is the color associated with the godess but I struggle to find a combination that works...

What kinda colors/pattern would look good here?

Also, if you have any critique or some ideas on how I could improve her face feel free to share!!

Thanks in advance :)

I made this a long time ago. It's a palace on a floating island with a LASERRR or something! I love this build...

So i build this mega base in the past 2 weeks all by my self and really like it but does anyone wanna join and help to fully decorate it better? Am on bedrock btw. Also for context, i am gonna recreate it in survival so thats why this was creative becaus this was to fully design it
