Thanks for the tips! I'm watching the video now while I wait for computations to run. One of the perks of working from home: no one can judge my time management. :-)

It seems Blender does not have a projection brush, but one is in the works. So I'll have to reassess that situation when I'm actually ready to start. Also, I had forgotten about that photo resource. Looks quite similar to what 3d.sk have, but may be easier to just buy one item on here and I think the model fits very well with what I had in mind for Antonia's skin. The downside might be that there are probably a bunch of characters already wearing the same skin, but honestly that wouldn't bother me too much.
