Sooo, Progress has been slow and steady since the midterm. A majority of my time was spent troubleshooting the aforementioned problem and eventually doing retopology. Currently my model has been retopped, and I am in the process of transferring details between my old high res mesh and the newly retopologized mesh. Retopology devoured a huge chunk of my time, now that it is finally completed I can pose and finish up my final render...
