No problem. I think I'm the only one who comments on the Reintalks- I guess the chatty people are all $5 donors :). Oh well! I suppose my essay-length replies will have to do for everyone!

2017-12-07 21:11:25 +0000 UTCVery cool! My eyes tend to be quite stylized and big, but this is still very useful, particularly the "3/4 semi-V" shape- I think I've just been "squashing" the "U-shape" I use for big eyes rather than drawing them as true 3D objects. I usually don't draw the underside of the eye, to the point where I find my faces look weird when I do- a bit of anime influence, I guess. But it does rob the neat little details like the "eye gland" (whatever it's called) in the corner- it was cool watching you add in blackness, then "erase" a dot for it! One of those things you can't do with pencil & paper, lol. The stuff about shading the eyeball itself is GREAT- makes me want to draw faces more up-close so I can actually do that, lol. In terms of art, I find I actually like the grittier look, right before the "smoothing out" and "over-inks" stage, where the colors are a bit scratchier. The eyes not being white is a pretty staggering realization, as the only time I ever noticed that was in your first Elphaba drawing, where I noticed her eyes had this greenish pallor to them- I thought it was a neat look, but hadn't considered that ALL the women were technically getting "lighter skin-colored" eyes! Very neat update! It makes me want to just draw a page full of eyes! Except of course I use markers, so that shit has no "undo" button when I screw up!
