HI Rip... Basically I think you need to plan these things more than they appear to have been, for example if I where to creat a barrel firstly I would look around for some refrence pics then draw a side profile to work out how many angles there are and faces I need to... Actually sorry i`m not gonna go step by step throu what needs to be done but i think that you need to consider stuff like textures, lighting, setting, and on and on and on.. The pictures show a definite style but I really think you need to think about these more before you can call any of them truely finished. Shows promise just try putting more time into them.

well none of them are really finished work, just afew "Sketches" for lack of a better word. and if I was to do a barrel I dont think I would go into all the work of finding reference pics, then drawing one, ect. those barrels are REALLY old, I made them when I first started using max. alot of those pics are when I first started using max.

I'm not a very good drawer so I tend not to plan things out because they will just look like crap on paper. I still have alot to learn (especially in terms of lighting) in the mean time put up with my crappy work lol

also my time is VERY limited, so I rarly have time to accually work on a model, and sometimes I lack the motivation,
