 (laughing, nodding head, waving finger) ahh, you guys (chuckle) are a tough crowd. But your scrutiny and objectivity are exactly what I'm asking for.

The front side hasn't changed much. At odf's suggestion I removed some detail from the breasts but it had no effect on poly weight so I've decided to keep the current level of detail. 

Because I'm working in subdiv proxy mode (rather than lo-res poly + smooth and undo as I did with the first version), I'm gonna ask for a little latitude for viewing the meshes. Though it's a bit difficult for me to work in this mode, it's easier for me to see how the "control" mesh affects the smooth mesh without the whole "smooth / undo" workflow I was using the last time.

Anyway, I've spent the evening detailing the back. Muscle flow and skeletal structure are the key points here. I'm sculpting the broad strokes of the scapula, trapesizus, latissimus dorsi and  dorsolumbar fascia here....
