I decided to take part in weekly cg challenge, subject is 'steampunk device', Not sure if this have steampunk look. It's still early work in progress though Critique is very welcome
the wheel arrangement seems very strange to me. I personally havent seen any planes with front mounted wings with the stable wheels at the back. they also generally point upwards a bit when they are on the ground, but since yours doesnt have a propeller, i'm not sure that matters.
The overall render s looking pretty good, but I think you have some weak designs in the wheels and the wings.
this might be to late but might be something to think about in the future. the wheels cant retract as far as I can see, which is making it look at bit strange when in the air like that.
secondly the wings are really strange as well, usually you want the wings low so they dont cover up the pilots vision. i assume you where going for a less conventional design, but to me its coming of as strange and not that durable. the wings need to support the weight of the entire airplane and push it of the ground, these wings look like the will fall of and drop the entire cockpit and pilot to its death.
anyways, i really like the texturing and the overall lighting, the design of the main hull is really good as well.

some progress
I'm aware that it looks strange but I guess it's quite a sensible solution with jet engine

I've made new renders:
I think now I'm done with this
