I think its time to go looking for tutorials on modeling. Its a nice step into starting to model. Looks like you can position stuff well. You just need to expand your skills as you get deeper into this addictive hobby. Oh and prepare to lose hair . Some others may just say its a bunch of primatives. I say its a start. If you want people to go wow though, get ready for alot of hard work. Even the best get hints on improving there models

using primitives won't neccessarily help you to use less polygons, take the head for example. Something a lot closer to Megaman's head could be modeled in far fewer polys than that sphere uses. Its a case of getting your vertex's in just the right places and turning the right edges. It can seem daunting at first but one day it suddenly clicks and you come along in leaps and bounds. I did with 3DS max... I just bought one the many "bible" type books for it and within a week was storming along. After you crack modeling comes the joy of unwrapping the model for texturing and creating the texture maps, another totaly new skill in itself. Its a lot to take in and takes some hard work, but it can be very rewarding in the end. Best of luck

To make the polycount lesser? But why does the head got so many polygons? Make the head lesser than 50, like I usually do... How many polygons are in that 3d, anyway?

Poly's are calculated out of triangles. Triangles are calculated out of faces, a face do not necessarily need to be quads (it can be higher, but no less than a triangle). A basic cube would be made up from 6 faces, but because the faces are quads, they need to be split into triangles to be shown in openGL, openGL would handle this job automatic. Anyway, the cube wil then be made up off 12 polys.

So if you have a head totaly made up from quads as faces the poly count wil be equal to the face count times two.

But its seldom that a head is made up from just quads, usualy most quads, some triangles and some pentagons here and there. It's just a mather of how you model.

I strongly recomend you should take a look at some poly modeling tutorials (3dcafe.com, highend3d.com etc..)
