Eye am so excited (Patreon)

Pretty exciting day! Got his eyes done (minus a final clear coat). I may make a tutorial for the new method in the distant future but for now would prefer to keep it to myself. Been something I've been thinking on for more than a year :D.
I absolutely LOVE how they look. Would love to use this on a smaller scale for plush eyes, it looks much more alive/3d than embroidery.
He also has an interchangeable right eye, that has the iris/pupil much higher for a crazy look. Everything is being left to dry atm.
While the paint layers were drying on the eyes I reworked the tongue 'slit' in the back of the mouth. It wasn't wide enough to fit the tongue all the way across. I've cut it and now the tongue can fit as far back into it as desired. You can either have it sit flush with his teeth or stick far out the mouth, with no worry that it'll fall out. Kind of like a coin slot.
Will be trying to work on the brows tomorrow. I think he will look much better when they are on, considering how much of his face is taken up by them. I need to redo the airbrushing around his eyes since I did a little operating to make them sit lower. They looked a bit derpy up too high previously.
