Need feedback on Modeling + Zbrush
polycounter lvl 2
In the past few months, I have been working on improving my workflow with maya modeling and I also began learning Zbrush. I know I have a lot of time to spend in order to get where I want to be, so aside from "finishing" my pieces, (nothing is ever truly finished), I would like some feedback on where I can improve. Here is a google slides presentation on what I have recently done.

Within Zbrush, I think i need more time messing with the tools to make rocks or other basic shapes. Once summer is started I will be able to do more in Zbrush.
Since my F11D Blaster Rifle ( first order stormtrooper blaster ) is looking pretty bland with Mia material X shaders, i am going to UV and throw it into substance for some height maps to update my normals and better texture maps.
Also, here is some work I am doing on a vehicle. I have heard from some people that it looks cartoonish, but I am thinking that painting it in substance painter will fix that issue. Right now my task is to finish up the UVs
any advice, tips, concerns would be really appreciated!! I feel like the back is pretty vacant in terms of the space filled, but I don't want my Low poly to go over 15k quads, Right now its at 9194 + 1600 for each Lowpoly shock. I will probably be taking some of the loops out of the Shocks to get it a bit lower still.
Thanks for checking it out!!
heres a render, no where near finished but ya.
Im digging how the lowpoly looks almost identical to the Hipoly when the edges are softened.
