Introduction to Maya - Modeling Fundamentals Vol 1
This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

Looks great! Kinda reminds me on Battlezone 2 scions pilot model (but I bet nobody here know for that game).

Keep it up!

We're not going to be strict about it, but in most cases, it's 1 or 2 512x512s.

I don't mind. I'd prefer that you finished one before moving on to another.

I'd suggest working a bit more on the textures. RIght now, you've pretty much just got straight colors for most everything. Instead of just having it be red or yellow, try to make it look like metal, cloth, etc.

i like the guy but the armor looks a little thin... by thin it looks like it has no depth at all. might want to fix that

And the armor doesnt look like armor, ide suggest you tweak your textures a little more.
