This is boring, but someone must do it.
The retopology is quite boring, but doing it, I improved my knowledge about topology, and this helps me to do good geometry during modeling.
My first job as a 3D artist in 2009 was as texture artist. I am confident with realistic / photographic textures, but I do a little effort with hand-painted textures.
Although I prefer character modeling, I frequently model hard surfaces. I have no problem with them, but I am a little slower than with organic modeling.
Character modeling is my best skill. For work I've modeled mainly cartoon characters, but I love modeling any kind of character: humans, animals, creatures, etc.
For me, sculpting is the most fun part of my job, because allows me to "forget" about more technical aspects... until retopology. Unfortunately so far I had only few chances to use it in production.
I made several hair and fur for work and for fun. So far, I've always used the C4D hair module.
I'm very meticulous about frame composition and it is one of my favourite parts when I make an image or a video. I love how with just the right composition you can convey the meaning and the mood of a scene.

Cinema 4D is the first 3d software I've ever used, and still today it's my main application. I think it is a very smart software and I love its speed and its customization. I often use it with V-Ray as render engine.
I really love Zbrush, it's been the first software that made me feel free. I also enjoy Mudbox, 3d Coat and some other, but Zbrush remains the best, in my opinion.
As a 3d artist I use Photoshop every day, for textures, matte painting, retouches and color corrections
Mudbox was my first Zbrush alternative. I used it mainly for texturing, but, at the moment, I am more interested in software like Substance Painter, Mari or 3d Coat.
It happens sometimes that I have to use Maya or 3d Studio Max in some pipelines. I have no problem modeling in these software, but I have never used them for lighting and rendering.

Aided by the fact that I hate the C4D uv editor, I've always used an external software for uv management. First I used Roadkill, then I found Unfold 3d and it became my current favourite uv editor software.
I simply like Topogun. It seems to me more intuitive than Zbrush or 3d Coat retopology modules, for example.
