Love it! Maybe add some tangling wires to the last power mast and maybe one leading to the trailer or diner. Good that you removed the cracks from the sand.

If you don't got them already, check out the curve to tube and curve to ribbon mesh in bonus tools. Since you are working symmetrically, I'd just draw the curves on one side and convert it to tube, then adjust the tube's shape from there. Very fast and simple. You can mirror the geometry afterwards. Also another quick and…

So here is mine =) Your background and person perspective do not match at all. I can see, that you understood perspective and constructed it loosely correct in the sketch, but the character does…
ok i dont want to sound harsh, i think you have an eye for form and skill for 3d but.... wouldnt worry about gloss maps till you can nail a diffuse map you have gone from adding a few large colours to dirt, normals and spec without considering the medium detail. again, how do materials intersect how does dirt build up, how…

Now I'm not saying it won't happen, but it's not really something that's sought after today and…
