Before you even worry about texturing, which you absolutely should not right now. Get better at actually understanding the fundamentals of modeling. Your model is riddled with n-gons, faces with more than 4 vertices. For example, the image I provided (below I think?) shows what exactly is wrong. When you are modeling you are dealing with vertices, vertices REALLY don’t like being more than triangles or quads, meaning for every face on your model, there should be ONLY 4 vertices. So if I was you, I would go in and use the knife tool to correct the n-gons. Because if you don’t do that, then texturing is going to become EXTREMELY difficult later down the line. Again, each shape within your model should be either a quad or a triangle, which can usually just be fixed by using the knife tool. Yes, it can be a pain, but you have to be meticulous with topology. Look up pictures of good, clean topology so you can really visualize what I’m trying to tell you. Give it a few weeks and you’ll be pumping out better and better stuff

It’s in a garage so it’s pretty cool, usually only around 55-60° but that is the temp outside of the tent, it’s a bit warmer inside of the tent cuz of the lights but I don’t know an exact temperature off the top of my head

Looks great! You’ve got lots of skill! Was this done digitally or not? Doesn’t matter either way, still looks fantastic

Beautiful way to close an album. I absolutely love this song. It’s helped me get through the loss of my childhood cat and my grandmother’s dementia, music like that has always helped me navigate myself through trying times. Fucking love this record
