Indeed. 
Your reworked nose looks even better than the one I suggested and it's better anchored to the face (it was floating
a bit before and facing forwards instead of ¾ view) and the arm is much improved without losing it's stylized comic look.
The chest is more proportionate, the far shoulder is (correctly) partially visible and the shirt collar more believable.
The shadows of the face and neck are more in line with the rear lighting as well. Great touch-ups DD.

My goal was not to redraw everything the very best I could in my own style and take over.
This was never going to be a collab, it's all DD's piece, I just wanted to draw attention to a few of the areas that
I thought she could improve/learn from and show visually what I might do differently. Asked her first before posting it as well.
Think of it as a red-lining... without the red lines.
Cheers!
Onward to Liam then!

Perfectly fine with that, CR, you brought out the shoulder and adjusted the silhouette of the arm to be more correct. However, the dips between the muscles in the upper arm are never quite so distinct and you showed some high-points in very odd places.|

Looked like you gave that arm a bunch of muscles that weren't quite anatomically correct. DD's response is much better, but it still looks like there's a grand canyon between the muscles.
Be Well!

Technically you're partially correct. You're also totally missing the point.

All the shades! I don't think I can see clearly anymore *giggles*
So.. worked on Liam and also a tiny bit more on the whole thing... took Fireheart's comment on canyons aswell and slightly, just slightly smudged the top "muscle-line".
As far as I've noticed, there are many degrees of muscles.
And Mike has bigger muscles then the ref you used, therefor, more shades *nods*.
Thanks for the feedback!

Heh, you know that I know little about the process of making art. However, the years as a massage therapist did leave a mark and I do have a thorough, 3D understanding of muscle anatomy. So I look, and I see, and it bothers me if things don't look right, for a given level of detail.|

So I know that the shoulder muscle (deltoid) is a big old heart-shaped thing, wrapped around the shoulder joint, so it looks like an acorn-squash. And the 'point' melds down, under the competing swells of the biceps and triceps. And, unless the person is really buff and deliberately 'flexing', they all blend together like gently rolling hills.
DD's original image mostly ignored that level of detail, so it didn't bother me. Your response added that detail, but the shapes were off, irregular, and the definition lines between the muscles were etched much too deeply. I understand how DD's smudging technique would minimize that, but the shapes were still... off.
So I commented.
Be Well!

Love the atmosphere of this one.
Let me guess... after repeated reminders and a bunch of pink post-it notes
someone still forgot to pay the base upkeep and the porters shut off?
Thanks ddgryphon!
@CR: 
Absolutely not! I always pay my upkeep! Aspecially when there are pink post-its involved!
There is a light at the last porter that signs that it's still on .
Next time I'll make it animated okay?

Yep thanks, lot of renovation needed on the new house (new to us that is) which is keeping me busy, but i'm finding some time for fun stuff too, namely CoH Even started a new Robot H3NRi pic tonight, though my old hard drive was unsalvagable unfortunately so having to start again with a lot of stuff, including all the settings and add-ons i had for GIMP, it's coming along though
Welcome back H3nRi... again.
F.Y.I. Speaking from long experience hard disk drives are rarely completely unsalvageable,
data reconstruction cost prohibitive perhaps but rarely is the data totally gone. 
As I think I mentioned on DA, this is one of my favorite pieces of yours all time
Thanks Caemgen!

Its a very nice piece.
*oogles action Deedee!*
*looks sad* Several people have now notified me that my website has been listed by google as being a bad site with badware and stuff. It appears it's been hacked and I'm working on getting it fixed again asap.
So till that time people may not be able to visit it. And as the rules of the FArt-battle are alo on there... that part may also be not available, temporarily.
I'm very sorry for the inconvenience and hope my website didn't hurt anyone. *pouts*
--update-- fixed! Google will rescan and hopefully give me back my Trustworthy badge!

Phew. I was going to read the rest of the stories up there, glad you have it taken care of DD.
Good to hear my stories are actually read *giggles*
Now, something else... I may be less online for the time being as I'm in the middle of a move. I'm moving back to the north of NL (which is about 130 km from where I am now) so that may take up most of my time.
The internetconnection in my new place won't be active untill halfway September somewhere (yeah, it takes about 4 weeks to set up an internetconnection in NL (with DSL that is, cable can go in a week, maybe two, but is double the price too)).
But I will, somehow, be there when the FArt Battle deadline is up of course. It is my duty! Hopefully I can squeeze in a few more hours to finish what I started for the final theme, otherwise I'll just put up what I got sofar .
Anyhow, till soon!
*waves*

Wow, DeeDee, I wonder why it takes so long? Here, in speed-obsessed California, you make the appointment for a day when you're just gonna be unpacking all day anyway, the tech comes out, and an hour later you've already gotten your email, checked in with your IM-friends, posted a witty comment on your favorite thread, and are considering whether you should play CoH or wait until after dinner. |

I just moved, myself, and it's no fun, but if you hang in there and keep pushing, eventually you have a nice new place to live. Now I just have to figure out where to put all of my Stuff!
Good Luck!
Be Well!

Hahaha, Mostly I leave drawing girls up to CR
. I may sneak in one or two occasionally though 
.
Anyways... (sorry Neko) been working on Mikey a bit more (oh.. I should not say Mikey... he doesn't like that!).
Didn't work on the eyes though. I kind of like 'm the way they are. It is what I was going for in the first place to keep the whole picture a bit more comic-like instead of realistic.
I hope my master approves!
