NEED OPINIONS one more time..

Thanks to all those that commented for the awesome feedback last time... ONE MORE TIME if you please...

Is THIS better than my last attempt at improvement? (Compare here: LINK )
COMPARE LINEART ONLY.. As that's obviously what I focused on this time.. I'll work on coloring next time.. Maybe even color this, I dunno..

After reading the feedback from last time as well as msn conversations with friends about it, I basically went back to square one, looked at some of my better drawings and figured out what I did there, looked over some tutorials, dug out my old notes from college drawing classes, looked at some other artists to try and figure out what THEY did correctly... Then while drawing I did my best to break my horrid habbit of RUSHING while drawing, inking and cleaning it up... Going over everything as finely as I frankly even know how to do.. Surprisingly only adding an extra hour and a half on to the work involved..

This was drawn with pen on paper, NOT in photoshop with a tablet like my last attempt.. And then extensively cleaned and picked over in photoshop to get it as refined as possible... I'm happier with these results than anything else I've done recently, but I'd like other peoples input on it.. Seriously..

Also this 'is' supposed to be the same character from my previous attempt, just... heavily modified to fit what I was doing and to correct certain errors, like the "masculine" face.. Which I think I fixed.. I hope..

....Anyway, enough rambling.. Is this better?..
