Description
This is supposed to be Maeve Reed/Conchenn's eye from Meredith Gentry... Her eye is described as Lapis blue with a ring of copper shot through with gold like sunbeams but I can't make it not look like some cheap ms paint job... Any suggestions? PLEASE????Related content

The copper before the blue needs to be a bit more even, on the lower left side it sort of goes wonky.
The black pupil is too black. If you notice eyes have different reflecties, shades, etc. Blur it a little bit, add some whites, oranges and blues to try and even it up. Remember to only add sharp reflections where the light source is, so not just randomly all over. Then you could probably lower the opacity on the colours, 'cause right now it's like IN YOUR FACE.
As an added, the skin is orangey but the flesh around her eye is not. Those should be a little more even. I find smudging and blurring solves everything.
<3 I like it, I only commented because you asked though. I dislike giving critique because it always sounds bad.

Great pic... I love it...
Though I think you should soften the tones slightly to bring out the natural colours a bit more. But other than that its lovely.

yeah, the character is like, a faery/goddess thing so i wanted it to be more supernatural but you're right, it would look more real softer... thanks, I didnt even think of that :-p

looks good
just one thing, maybe blur the line between the copper and blue a bit more; my eyes are hazel in the center and green on the rims, and the transition is rather smooth, but still definate so each color is it's own, not fully melted together but not fully seperated....and leave the sunshine as is that part is awesome
