@Zepic:
Thanks man! Glad I could motivate you!
And yep, I'am really learning a lot atm!
Alright I made a quick try.
Do you think this is more like the direction I should go?
But I also have to say that I really liked the lighting I had but you both got some really good points so I'll definatley try to improve it! I think the lighting I had is okay from the visual aspect but really crappy from the technical aspect isn't it?
Honestly, it's not that bad and I think that if you keep at it it has a lot of potential. I like this newest update but I really really want to know why youre set on those color lights. Also the fact you want this to be the best it can be and are finishing it means that if you continue doing that you could go far.
Thank you!
The colored lights are just there because I've read some time ago that white lights are the worst you can have in scene...so I thought I take colored ones. Also I love that blue, mass effect-esque lighting.
Further I think you can set highlights way better with colored lights instead of pure whites.
The reason why I want to finish this, is that on 8th April my study starts and I want to fully concentrate on it so I think its better to have no "active" projects stand out then if this makes any sense...
Okay, I've tweaked the lights a bit more and made them almost white with a slight blueish tint so they're not fully blue anymore.

C&C is really appreciated!
I was referring specifically to the red lights, why red and not orange. And then you have yellow lights. Why those the rest were fine.
Okay, after I've tweaked all the stuff again today, after about 4 weeks, I'am calling this DONE!
Sure, there is a lot of stuff which I could've done better but I learned really a lot during this project and so my next one will get better!
I want to say THANK YOU to all of you guys here at Polycount since you gave me great critiques and were super awesome helpful! THANKS!
Okay, enough talking, here are the final shots:
I know its far, far away from perfect but I'am fairly happy with how it turned out.
Dude its been a while since Ive checked this thread and I must say the final outcome turned out great! The lighting, the textures, the low polys all awesome!

I hope I can reach only 20% of your abilities at some time or another...
