Thanks a lot for good suggestions and ideas in this thread! I have updated this image now, reworking much of the anatomical structure and many other things. I kept the original for comparison (at least as long as DA lets the old image remain on the server). Hopefully better!

- reworked back-anatomy, changed texture a lot
- changed the relative lengths of her arms, should be better proportion now
- changed her expression to be more concentrated
- lots of small other changes

PS: I notice I forgot to especially thank ofnuts and kimppi for taking their time to even offer pictural examples for improvement, great! And to everyone else too for good suggestions of course.

Anatomy works better now. The girl got more realistic muscular structure too, which is good. And a tan, which is a bit shiny, but... Well, I have problems in my images with this, I often get 'plastic-look' this way. This kind is very delicate thing to do, because hard shiny areas must be in *exactly* right places.

I think the image is really good. Ambitious goal reached admirably.

Good to hear it. I like it better myself. The beauty of stepping away from an image for a while! Thanks again for the feedback.
