FULL VIEW + DOWNLOAD FOR BIGGERHmm. Started as a focus on eyes, ended as a focus on the fur. Makes me a bit sad that I went and made it all mystical and transparent, it definitely loses something. But I left the edges all gross and blank so I couldn't. But here's a shot of the solid fur if anyone wanted to check it out. [link]
Ugh, I haven't had any energy to do anything lately. I've been so sick for a week now and its really starting to take its toll. And on top of that, my ears are really beginning to ache, despite the meds I got put on yesterday to prevent an infection. My head, ears in particular, are so plugged up that at times I can hardly hear. Its starting to get really bad and the radio is sounding a little wonky.
Hrrm. Really pleased with this. But I had to force myself to finish it. Lately I feel absolutely no desire to paint digitally. My brain screams "WATERCOLOURS" instead of digital. No idea why I want to use watercolours so much lately. Maybe later when I have enough energy. My joints still feel like jello.
'Kay, I love that fur. <3
Comments and critiques appreciated!
Time to sew.

Aaaaah, eyes. So good. xD Wonderful bodyparts. To both look at and draw. Or look at drawings of. I guess this'd be an example of the eyecolour you'd like to have? without the fur of course, that would be a bit too freaky
I love it how you made iris so realistic. And the moon that's mirrored into the eye is really cool too. I stared at it for pretty some time. It's almost hypnotizing. Great job!

Eyes are wonderful. You can learn so much about a person just by watching their eyes.
I love drawing and painting them because you can do so much with them. Whether it be emotion, colour or lighting, the possibilities are endless.
My, wouldn't that make for a strange looking human eye. Would be awesome!
Though if I had the choice to make my eye colour anything, it wouldn't be that. For some reason I'm particularly fond of a solid lavender with darker purple accents. Nothing multicoloured, and I'm not sure why I even feel so strongly towards that one particular colour.
I've never actually painted them but I guess I should. I'll put that on my huge to-do list.

YAY INACTIVITY *crashes through wall* RAWWWRRRR
Your amazing detail and skill with eyes never seizes to amaze me x3
Amazing stuff! Love all the detail and individual furs you can see, and even the reflection in the eye, thats always hard to pull off but you did a really good job here! In a way it adds a whole lotta depth to the picture :] Celestial themes are always cool, and I agree as one person said, it'd make a kickass poster! >:3

This is really beautiful, I love it. The dusty look to it is my favourite part, it is so wonderful and perfect. I really like all the details in the eye and how well you did that reflection, it definitely feels quite magical. I also adore the fur of course, extremely well done, strand for strand. I like the transparency due to the colour it brings which is extremely pretty. The full fur does look very nice as well though. This would make such a nice poster for a wall I think.
Wow, that ear infection sounds completely hideous. Are you any better now? I really hope so.

Why thank you!
Mm. I've had a rough recovery. It was this past Monday that I finally felt well enough to consider "good". I go to sleep on Monday night, then wake up on Tuesday and lo and behold, I feel like shit! Crazy sore throat, extremely stuffed head (so bad that everything sounded really, really quiet), and my muscles and joints seized up so much that I literally felt like I got hit by a bus.
But. Now that it is Friday I'm finally starting to feel better. I'm hoping that the nasty nasal spray that my lame-ass doctor gave me are actually going to continue to clear my head.

I'm gonna be one of those awkward people who doesn't know which ones she likes better. -shot-
The other looks much more realistic, but yet, this one has a beautiful sense of mystery and magic to it.
I love how shiny that eye is...and...is that the moon and clouds you can see within it? Beautiful! <3
Great colour choices on the eye, too. They blend together really nicely. c:

I like the color and fur affect you gave it : )
In my opinion you could still make that look, only and that you should probably start the eye with very smooth blurry brushes and work your way to detail. Also, eyes look good darkest under the white shine, and lightest farther away from it, like at the bottom. Hope that helps : )

Hmm, maybe its the colouring or brightness of my laptop but the values seem okay. From the look of my screen its pretty dark where you said it should be and lighter too in the other spot. Maybe its just the screen.
Though I do see what you mean about working to detail with the eye. I didn't really start off gradually, I leaped straight to the details. Makes it kinda crazy looking.
And thanks for the critiques. <3

I like the purple-y glitter. I think it adds to it.
To bad people can't have eyes that color.

It's quite stunning! Dare I say...the mystical version looks better than the other one you linked.
Oh and, please get better soon!

Sorry to hear ya still feel like crud. :c
Even if this got blown a bit out of your original proportions, it still looks amazing. The fur and eye both. And the moon is a very interesting touch, along with the sparklies. 8D
