About the model - I don't think it's actually rough. there seems to be sufficient mash density. Try to convert the model to subdivs and than back to polygons. I don't know why or how but it somehow smooths the mash (EDIT: I think it smooths the edges). also try using render instead of screen grabs.
Nice model by the way!

For building a skeleton there's a free basic video tutorial in this site:

Also take a look in 'Maya > Help (menu) > Maya Help > Using Maya > General > Animation', and in particular '... > Character Setup > Skeletons' and '... > Character Setup > Skinning'

There's also a step-by-step tutorial for 'smooth skinning' that I did but I don't know it's exact location. I found it using the Search option.

Also have a look in FBIK (also look in Search)

Hope this helps,
Benny
