Re: Art book references!
In this day an age of sculpting programs like zbrush and muddbox I feel the need for tradiational sculpting methods is higher.

Re: Zbrush: Bad Padding Displacement Maps (Seams Artifacts)
That is a very extreme closeup. You'll probably find seams on any mesh if you're going that close. Regarding UVs: it's good practice to leave room for padding along the edge of the uv border, doubly so if you're using udims. -

I actually managed to find a screenshot of that scene that I sent to my friend (the 2nd screenshot below).
