Hello. Is this tank good or not?
How can i make it better?



Everything is art really, it is just a matter of looking at it that way.

You should make it look more like a tank, it didn't even look like one when I looked at it in normal resolution.

I see it's probably going to be top-down GTA style, but in which case, refine your shading as the turret for the tank looks too plain, as is the tank itself.

Yes topdown.
Is this better?

I think it needs more dramatic lighting.  There isn't enough volume in the tank.  It's a good start though.

It lacks detail and is sloppy, but I think it has the volume that your piece so greatly needs. Quick little throw-together so I don't have to type too much.

If you want realistic style, than begin with a big form (light and shadow) and remove detail and texture (they is disturb your's understanding from), something like on picture on Pixelfish. After big form you added some detail an texture. But if you want just graphic style than clear you texture in some piece and do accent on some contour lines (in shadow side). Please continue  :)

You didn't get the point he was trying to say, it needs depth, and yours lacks it.
Whats more, your tank's turret, not the cannon, is very misshapen. Round it out better or turn it into a different shape like a rectangle or a hexagon, for more readability.
