Alt skins and helmets (what's a blender?)

[Evreyenn]

Hi people.

I usually just draw fanart and think about possible skins, but with the halloween tennogen challenge, I decided to make my first skin. Maybe after that I'm good enough to do Wukong or Ivara.

Note: I started using blender three days ago; I don't know what the specular and roughness textures do or how to make dangly bits. Actually, I don't know anything about what I am trying to do, so results might vary.

 

For the halloween creepy thing I picked Saryn and wanted to give her a more Nidus-like infested skin. My plan is to make a high-res model that I bake and turn into normal maps(?), to which I can add details later in PS.
Right?
the dangly tentacles might be a problem, but I'll get to that when I get to that. (What am I doing?)

Still don't know what I'm doing.

I wonder if modeling stuff in zbrush or maya is as hard as this was, and what else I need to do, to make this look better.

Have another picture of my skin, even if you don't care (is proud):
