[WIP] Modeling my own room in blender. Tips/Feedback please?
Tried modeling my room with a night time aesthetic. But I feel like this is missing something and I am not quite sure what. This is my first time modeling something that isn't a tutorial. I am a complete beginner.Also, is something like this worth posting on Artstation even though it is like my first render ever and not that great? Or should I only put up "good" work on there?

One thing that might help it "pop" would be to add some off-screen lights coming from the left and right sides. Maybe there's an "open door" on one of the near culled walls, with warm light streaming in. Or maybe another window.
Warm light streaming in definitely sounds very cool. I will add that as soon as I get home.
But regarding off screen lights, wouldnt the image lose the "Night time aesthetic" if I add more light? As in I thought having the monitor as the only source of light would give it a "Night" mood. Having more lights would be against that? Let me know if I got it all wrong.
Look to movie lighting for inspiration. Go to screen grab websites like Evan Richards blog Cinematography Frame Grabs

As for when your art is good enough to post on ArtStation or anywhere else, go ahead and post it. Because if you wait until you're "good," you'll never post anything, because it can always be better. The one thing to keep in mind is that as your skills improve over time, it's a good idea to go back and delete your older artwork, to keep your portfolio representative of your current abilities.
You're right. I should just post it. I don't plan to go professional any soon anyway.
Does it look better? Dull? Critique/feedback please?
