Oh, thanks so much, Art Travesty Beta!!!!! I just re-did the right side of the neck, plus blending in a tiny bit of light for the larynx area, then re-blending, and adding a few dots for texture and I am soooo much happier with the final product! You are wonderful. If you hadn't made that first criticism, I never would have bothered to fix it but would have remained slightly unhappy with it, that "something" nagging me forever (especially the squatty-featured effect made by the accidental distorting).

*huge smooches*!!!!!!!!
