Description
did you know that different kinds of animals have different reflective colors of their tapetum lucidum? dogs and cats usually have green reflections, crocodilians have orangey red, some fish have white, etc… reindeer tapetum lucidum even change color over the seasons, being yellow in the summer and blue in the winterthis has been on my mind for a really long time with regards to my polumorphim, though i never actually had the opportunity to draw it out until now. im not sure what color exactly their eyes should reflect, ive personally been torn between red, yellow, or white myself since ive started working with them. im not going to leave them without reflective eyes, due to the species being largely nocturnal and the tapetum lucidum is an adaptation for seeing in low light, but theres a wide variety of colors to pick from!

I personally really love the blue and green colouring - I think the cool colours look nice due to the cool palate of the character~ but they all look great, Vinny! I didn't know that there was an animal that this changed colour for depending on the season! Very fascinating

I love when folks give their characters Eyeshine ~
*I thought I was the only one!*
I really like when some colours fuse into pretty combinations,
such as pink and yellow : c2.staticflickr.com/6/5182/565…
and of course, bi-coloured : aws-cf.imdoc.fr/prod/photos/9/…
