Artist's Comments

"Their eyes were different, too. Not the gold or black I had come to expect, but a deep burgundy color that was disturbing and sinister."
~from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

That passage inspired my shift from doing a more natural eye color, to making the eye red.



Well this work is actually between a vexel and a photo manipulation because I haven't done the skin. I'm actually still working on it but I got impatient, so I decided to upload this. I'm gonna try to make skin more realistic in the final vexel, with an appearance like moonlight. But that might change seeing as how I liked this one enough to put it up on DA. In addition, I need to work on making the eye more realistic. It looks to me like it's made of glass.

Any comments on the nature of the work or the choices I've presented reguarding the direction in which I'm taking this peice are welcomed.

I will refrain from using the "Encourage Advanced Critique" option because I don't want to discourage anyone from leaving simple comments. I know that happens to me quite often.
Wow this is probably the longest comment I've ever written.

Might scrap this later.

I looked at the original stock image and I think you did a really nice job here Jason.

OMG MY SIGNATURE IS SO COOL

If you want a less 'glassy' look, try using fewer highlighted areas around the iris, but instead have one or two highlights within/very close to to the pupil itself. Other than that I think it looks great!

Thanks for the advice. Personally, I think I followed the stock too closely when I did this, thus resulting in the bad highlights. I'll probably make a "take two" so to speak and fix stuff like that.
:icondczed:
Mmhmm, doing a second take is always good practise :aww:

I'm Jason, Sean sorta introduced us (is that the proper way to say it...?) during that orchestra festival thing.
Plus you added me on facebook so that's how I found your DA page.

I really like your comment signature by the way.
