Description
Blind Io is one of the Gods from the Discworld Series by Terry Pratchett.Any one who knows the Discworld will know where I'm going with this.
As with all my work, I say meh to the usual depications, and try something different.

It is a very nice and interesting picture. Well done! But the intention to write a comment was from the imagination the thumbnail picture gave me on the first sight that have very little in common with the desired theme of Discworld
As I am for years interested in "worldbuilding" I got the imagination on seeing planets instead of eyes.. kind of "thinking/creating of Worlds" or "Ideas of the Creator" kinda theme 
...sorry for my strange imaginations but maybe it inspire you for a new picture who know ?

I have to say that this is by far one of the more interesting pieces of Discworld fanart I've seen.
I rather like that you've dropped his blindfold and been quite tactful with the placement of his floating eyes. The reference pic used for the basic face is excellent too, it has so much character! Good use of darkness to enhance the stark quality of the eyes, and the small coils of light between each one really adds to the overall feel of the picture.
Fantastic work - instafave!
And like the others, I'll be looking forward to the possibility of future renditions of Pratchett characters. Might I suggest The Silver Horde or a more interesting take on Albert?
Keep up the good work!

You know, when I saw the name, the Discworld series' god was the first thing I thought of, but I was like "Nah, it couldn't be..."
Well, would you look at that, it is.
