Griggs,
That looks pretty good. In the original, the forearm had from left to right:
- a skin tone
- a light mic shadow
- a darker mic shadow
- a darkest skin tone
Using Trace (Adobe PhotoDeluxe), I select the two mic shadows and lighten until similar to skin tone. Then select the darker shadow and lighten to match closer to skin and light shadow. Select the bicep, darken some to more closely resemble forearm. Entire arm from sleeve to wrist is selected, slightly softened/blurred until skin-color and texture match left arm. A touch of Saturation may be needed. Add a little Noise to help remove unnatural smoothness. Some use of blending and cloning tools along the way will help give the arm the round dimensional muscle look.
