Not that I understand all of the issues with this, but how is the looping with Alyson/Ryan. I have seen how doing it right improved your work.
LMK
Looping, well the arms are good maybe a bit more for the bicep. The abs are good. The back is good as well except for the shoulderblades, those need alot of work. The neck is good. The shoulders blades, legs and feet need redone IMHO.
Much of the legs are fine except for some poles that have way too many edges (6) coming together on a single point,and they are in bad spots. The calves need a little work. The feet are a mess.
On the torso there are those three (actually 4 but you only see 3) little finger muscles that flow back into the lats (I have forgotten what they are called.) Those also need redone, what is in there now creates numerous 3 and 5 edge poles.
One spot on the underside of the elbo has a six edge pole, that needs resolved. Definitely need some better edge looping around the shoulder, armpit, bicep area, the way it is you cannot get any definition between them.
All in all there is a massive number of 3,5, and 6 edge poles most of them are completely unecessary and cause multiple problems not only for morphing and mesh flow but also for mesh deformation when rigging.
This is just my opinion, and I am by no means a master mesh builder.
