Sure! They look adorable. Just make sure you have your licensing clean, and minimize the dependencies. See also:
 
100%, looking good! I tried it out but I used way to many dependencies.
 
For PdE 96 and anyone who sees this thread, I would take this as an example of why not to pose this sort of question on the Hub. For one reason, I have seen a number of people ask this same question in the past, and despite the resulting encouragement from many people, they never post their looks. I am not sure why this might happen in most cases, but to ask this question suggests a lack of confidence. Another reason is that you will not necessarily get encouragement by asking this sort of question on the forums, I think some of the responses here clearly show that. When you ask this question, you expose yourself to criticism that may not represent everyone's opinion. I highly recommend that you create for your own goals, share when you feel ready, and do it first and foremost for yourself. I for one, am glad that I never asked anyone's approval to post on the Hub. Fellow creators, please do what you feel is right and only if you feel at peace with it. Life is short.
 
Go ahead. The more creators the better.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There is a crowd for everything here. You shouldn't really care for the opinion of us individuals. Go hunt some metrics ;)

Concerning 'technical' aspects: Lighting could be better, which is quite relevant for showcase screenshots. Imo less uniform lighting, more shadows on the models, maybe different specular textures for better reflections and no shadows on the backdrop would look quite a bit better.

Thanks, bro! I really appreciate the advice, but honestly, I just posted this to showcase some of my latest looks. I'm not too concerned about criticism, and this definitely wasn't a post asking for anyone's consent. That said, I take all criticism, good and bad, as motivation. I'm still pretty new to the game, but I promise you'll be seeing some amazing content from me very soon!
