Big competitions that are widely recognized couldn't hurt. Hopefully you don't have to rush to finish it in time. If it looks good, use it anyway. Gonna do the same with my Entry for Comicon 2015. Ps. +1 for Temple Knight & Dragoner.
When selecting joints, I always do it in Outliner, hold Ctrl key and select joints one by one. Here are the advanced settings: Attachment not found. PS. I tested the model and animation in UDK, everything works just fine.
You could just use the tiled texture(from SD) on all 3 columns and sculpt and bake unique maps for each column in ZB Just combine/blend the Nrm maps in PS/NDO or in the material editor in-engine(UE4)
I have a feeling her forearms should be a tad longer, so her wrist could be the same level as her pelvis. Ps. You could take exploded shot with less subdiv level *hint hint wink wink*

man_o_mule- Thanks I can't believe I did not catch that! Working on all the areas that are of concern... and will post screen grabs as soon as it has noticeable progress. PS. I put more junk in her trunk. Will post screens soon.
I blur out (or re-paint) the AO in Photoshop if necessary. Mostly I just bake without the eyes though, since the shadow from eyes -> face is minimal and can be painted very fast in PS anyway if it's even noticeable.
hey tim thx ;) vahl.. its realtime.. all i´ve done in ps is contrast/sharpen/tiny bit level shifting You can play around with the shader if you want.. it´s on my portfolio :: Info Shader ::
Personally I think the filmmakers should have taken a leaf out of this book... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx82qBgyojg&search=bicycle%20repair%20man PS. How does Superman slow down in space? It's a frictionless environment. :P
I really dig that workflow, I'll have to try it when I start sketching in ps again. Good way to speed up the sketch process, gives these pieces a shared mood/vibe, but doesn't really restrict you much.
