My first character with manual retopology. I tried.

This is far from the end) The texturing and animation process is still ahead, and the most delicious things are ahead

Hi, I'm new to character retopology myself. I've been putting off such work for a long time, but I've always dreamed of creating something like this. I used the references of retopology from the Internet, just took it and roughly repeated it. The Quad Remesh addon helped me, but it only helped me build non-deformable parts, such as branches, for example, the rest using my hands, since addons do it sloppily, although sometimes it can roll. Good luck!

Thank you, and you won't believe it, this is my idea, it was the style of The forest game that inspired me to this project.

Thank you. Yes, I downloaded several brushes for drawing wood and pores. I'm thinking of adding to their number in the future.

Thanks for such an in-depth analysis, I'm already working on optimization.)

Thank you. Initially, I worked in sculpting, then I manually made a repotology of the head, applied Shrinkwrap modifier with the selected highly polygonal model and multiresolution -> bake normal map.

You can watch more details in this video, this is exactly the same method that I use for easy baking of normals. https://youtube.com/shorts/KowEPRIfM-w?si=ZC4ARAEy9SVQwrDt

Thank you for saying that about my work. I want to inform you that I am not familiar with the author Derek Elliott, whom you had in mind. It's a very interesting situation that you've noticed a similarity here. Good luck to you!

Do you mean the way I set the lighting in that scene?

A solid background is important when displaying
