Not to be such a debby-downer but isn't this in the wrong section?

I Don't know :S

I challange you to edit all your previous models, loose as many polygons as possible without loosing geomety.

Also practise texturing, you should look up how to do an AO bake for example.

Atm i'm trying to learn the program to make better models ,

That's why you should take his challenge, instead of doing more complicated models learn how to optimize you models and practice texturing

You basicly just select a model you made, and try to make it clean and combine it into one shape.


(Hint: There's actually a tool in mesh called combine that helps you create it all into one model together instead of seperate shapes)

Another tip for the clean part, use all the viewports. They will come into great help. Don't work in perspective only.

Noooope, combine tools will screw up your UVW's if you already have them, which these models obviously do,

Combining verts and stuff. You should really look over the second picture, modelwise. It has too many tris, and the smoothing is probably off where the rounder shape meet the spiky shape.

Texturing.. Well that's just a lot of practise and experimenting. But it really pays off. Textures turn your models from "lumps" to "actual stuff". Have a look here:
