Felix's Polybook

Hello, I decided to post what I'm working on,  with the hope I will be motivated to finish the projects :)

Before starting the Pothead character tutorial I wanted to try a small project on my own (which ended up longer than I intended). 

The robot is modelled after Brian Marshall's design (he has hundreds of these cute robots https://www.instagram.com/adoptabot/    https://www.flickr.com/photos/adopt-a-bot/with/3814149727/ )

My purpose was to practice a bit of hard-surface modelling and texturing in Substance Painter. This is the result:

I wanted to make a simple scene with the robot and this is the result:

However I am not very satisfied, I think the first picture looks better. I should have thought of a story and environment before starting the project, not at the end :)

Any tips or ideas ?
