@RedRogueXIII 44 tris where? That model only needs 20 unless you failed in the stage of optimization. I count 8 for the front and back, plus 8 for the bottom, plus 4 for the two sides. =20 tris
Those 20 minutes would have been better spend on modeling a silhouette only and not texturing at all, or on making a concept sketch. If you want to improve, go in batches of an hour, about 20 minutes modeling, 40 minutes texturing.
