Feedback on my render and model

Hello everyone, I'm new to Polycount and am an aspiring Character Modeler for a game studio. I'm currently in school, so my work isn't quite at the level I want to be at. I'd greatly appreciate any feedback on this current model and render I've been working on for a little over three weeks. The concept doesn't belong to me and is the property of Nivanh Chanthara.

The normal maps have a ton of errors in them. Forget about colors or materials for now, you need to work on your bakes. Cant say much else without seeing the highpoly and the wires of the lowpoly.

Alright @PolyHertz, thank you very much for the insight. I did notice that my bakes are off. What I've attached are my low poly and my high poly meshes. Is the overall edge flow of the low poly not accurate enough for the high poly? I thought that I could accommodate the edge flow by using the cage in baking.

The closer that the low poly and high poly match up the less work your normal map will have to do and the fewer errors and oddities you will get. The edge flow for your scarf in particular is extremely different than than the high res.

Thank you so much @JamesBrisnehan and I will begin to make changes to the scarf shortly.

Hello everyone, I know it's been a while since I've uploaded any feedback about my model and render but I've been working to re-topologize my low res model. I feel that I've made progress but I'm still looking for more feedback before my arstation upload. Thank you all for viewing my render and I'd greatly appreciate any feedback at all.
