I hope you're not going to smooth that, because that topology is a real mess....

What exactly is a real mess? Because in my eyes, I'm just starting, it looks fine.

Take a look at the topology thread at the top of this forum to get an idea how to better layout the geometry.

Very intresting zico_samagoria, I didn't comment on the topology because I don't know what stage your at for your model or what your going for. You said your self you were just using your imagination.

Anyway, it would have been nice to see a concept, but it's no big deal.
