I decided to just go ahead with retopo. Of course I could still sculpt more if I decide to or do it in the texture.

Clean work Phil, no critique.

Looking good on the topology. And yea retopoing = boring.

Questions for you: Do you plan on posing the model or is this for someone else. The reason I ask is that im trying to come up with the best method for posing. The last models I have done I pose a low res voxel first then sculpted details from there. The biggest draw back to that is symmetry. I could use a T pose to do all the hi detail but then using the pose tool in 3d-coat is out the window way to slow. Also when posing with voxels you have to be very careful since body parts get close together then they weld together. Example fingers. In the last models I have made I actually model the hands after posing.

Again Im just curious which way would be better. T pose - sculpt - texture - retopo - bone - pose or T pose low res - pose in voxels - retopo - texture. Anyone else have any ideas

It's probably best to do a T-Pose like this if you ever plan on posing it, then rigging later. I'm going to rig her in LightWave, then either render there or bring her into Unity.
