good, but i have a question:
why did you take screenshots of the render window instead of just saving the render out?

lol good question
I usually take screenshot of preview render window since it faster when I want many angles.
I only use render out function when Im presenting a complete finished project.
But yea , I never really thought about this point. Thx for that advice. I'll do this next, time I it will surely make my image quality better

Looks damn good for a "first big project". The only thing I'd say needs a bit of work is the armor on the front. It seems a bit too plain. Unless, of course, you'r going to texture some detail in there. Also, I think it'd be cool to add some battle damage.

thx for your comments guys

but Im not skilled enough now to texture it. In fact, I still dont know how to texture. I was introduced a bit about the Hypershade, materials, UV editor, projections, etc. but there's still some things I dont understand.

Right now Im working on an interior project, which I really plan to texture. I just learned about GI and lighting , I probably search for texturing help once Ill finish modeling my scene.

Thx again for your advices
