Elf 3D Model WIP/TEST : Need some advice.

Thessera

Supposed to be low poly, but i love details way to much so i ***** it up.

I'm not gonna rig /animate this character, my goal was to make it as low poly as i could. ( i failed)

[ I want to use this model to practice on UVMapping + texturing.

and maybe export it to Zbrush to make a high poly version of it, using normal map. ]

I would like some  feedback on how i can improve this model:

- i'm  new to 3D, so any feedback is gold for me

Questions:

1. Are the edge loops as bad as i feel them to be?

I have a feeling that the edge loops in the face are poorly made.(idk why)

2. How can i improve this model?

your topology can def use some work.  I'd start by collecting a bunch of references

Along with the topology references get some anatomy ones as well.  Try pick what style you want to achieve - stylized or realistic, a mix of the two?

Find a direction and push it as best you can!
