Hello, how could my retopo be improved?

Hey, I am hoping to improve my retopo I would appreciate if anyone could help? as I am not very confident right now. thank you!

I also put a image of the full model so I will apply what I learn to the other parts I retopo.

Definetly try to avoid a lot of thin polygons. Most of them arent even very visible.
About that wrap, try to do one continuous piece instead of multiple rows of polygons. Low poly models dont have to follow the flow of the high poly. Hope this makes sense.

@teodar23 Thank you I will get rid of thin ones now, I was very uncertain because I am hoping to create a hero asset. I felt I was adding too much and I think I have underestimated the power of baking.

I'd recommend making the cloth its own seperate mesh. This means you can break up the model and focus on the individual parts. Get the main areas and details you want to capture first, and then work on connecting them together. I'd also recommend making those edgeloops more evenly spaced, it will make your wireframe both look cleaner, and be easier to work with.

@An_Unclean_Hippy Thanks for your reply do you think I can split them after in Maya or should I just completely retopo each part individually?

Retopo seperately. It doesn't matter if they clip into eachother a little bit because your bake will correct any evidence of clipping.
