I've been needing to take a break from my to-do list for a while, so I sketched these eyes. Well, they started out as sketches, but then I started getting pretty serious about making them look good. I must say that I've improved a lot since my last eye close-ups, as you can see in #FGEyePractice. Realism seems so effortless now.
Kudos to whoever can guess all of these species!
Enjoy!

A little warning to whoever decides to watch the playback... This was originally going to be an announcement post, but then it turned into a doodle compilation, then it finally became eye practice. Ignore my dragon-sona's little rant. X'D
The Colors! Gallery moderators will look at it as soon as possible.

Love the fur and scales around the eyes, too!

Re: Thanks for the concern. I'm ok. I guess I've just been feeling a bit more visually expressive with my art lately, heh.
13 Feb, 2017, 3:18 pm
Reply: Thanks for being honest, I appreciate it. Anyhow...
I think the main reason I started putting less effort into my art on here was because I learned to draw on my tablet. But I don't have many watchers on DA yet, and my main audience is still on Colors. I don't really want to leave anytime soon, so I'm going to take your advice and start working harder on my Colors artwork. Now that I think about it, the things I drew two years ago did tend to have more variety, which might be why people liked them more then.
Anyway, thanks again. X) Sorry if I annoyed you or anything.
13 Feb, 2017, 5:11 pm
Re: Don't worry about it! I'm not disappointed at all. I completely understand since it's something all artists go through. Just take a break for now and I hope your motivation comes back soon! ^-^
(I'm still gonna throw pie in your face though >:) )

Reply: Thanks!
Oh, it's not the actual button that's broken - just the undo function, it stopped working some way into the drawing.
I once tried changing the button setup on my DS for fun, and I couldn't draw with it at all. XD
14 Feb, 2017, 1:14 pm
"Thanks" *bob eats pancake*
14 Feb, 2017, 1:24 pm
Re: Awe thank you! ^-^
14 Feb, 2017, 3:38 pm
Re: thank you! I try really hard make it look good ;w; am glad you like it! Sorry it took me so long. :s
14 Feb, 2017, 4:56 pm
Woooo, this is amazing!!
14 Feb, 2017, 11:44 pm
Re: yup it has! :D
Not to many distractions because I really don't have any :P
Though I am addicted to a new show now >:/
It's called full metal alchemist: brotherhood. Yeah anime :y
But it's really interesting quite sad to. I don't watch to much anime but dang it's really good!
15 Feb, 2017, 1:16 am
Re: haha yaeh, I really love how you did Catch hair, that was one of the things that keep bugging me as his hair, then I realize the angle I had his head tilted I made his hair too long, and I really love how you feathered out his hair, I'm not very good at it, but I try.i also try to incorporate my painting style which is expressive realism, but I tone it down some, I took different colors and place the in different areas, you can see it the most in catches cape thing around his shoulders and a little bit in the fluff on Eira. I was going to do more of a night sky but remember they kiss in the morning ( technically they were inside but that would have been boring X'D) I'm happy with it, there a few things I could have done different, but 5 hours is a long time for me xD I think this has been my longs one yet, I don't know how you do it Fade, but you and your ship pic inspired me to finish this :3
15 Feb, 2017, 1:31 am
Re: Thank you ^-^ and Happy Valentine's day to you too ^-^
15 Feb, 2017, 2:16 am
I've been binge watching it for the past few days so I'm on the 46th episode? Any way this is like the third anime show I've tried I've only completed one though. :o
That's only because one of my friends is an anime nerd so he made me watch fuli kuli I think it was called?
The first anime I watched was Pokemon (but let's be real it's not really a real anime anymore) So then I started inuyasha but I was sick of it by the 55th. I might go back to watch it I heard mob pysco, attack on Titan, death note, and one punch man are good to.
Ok I gtg now see you on the 27th :]
15 Feb, 2017, 3:19 am
Re:thank you! >///< I'm just glad you like it! I remember to use the hot and cool technique to use warm then cold then warm then cool colors, I think the best place to see it is in Eira hair. I did try to have a more detailed and realistic style like yours but it's hard for me to say focus on one thing for so long 'xD but I did feel really good after getting it done, like I actually created something really good. I mean my other picture are to but I always feel bad that I don't spend a lot of time on one thing.
Oh, really? That's cool! I didn't even really know I have a Style it kinda changes with each picture X'D but shiny and flashy things are one of favorite.
Haha yaeh, I love CatchEira to <3 it's ruined me X'D
*^* ooooo I can't wait to see what you have planned! I will most likely draw some more to, I still have to finish the other WIP I have thought.
Oh and I might have other posts in the RP of Catch dream with Catty nothing big though,
15 Feb, 2017, 3:55 am
Re: haha yaeh, I can't help but think of other ship now to Because of CatchEira X'D. And I did noticed @Creahra post a pic of it, even though I'm not a part of FaF and I don't really get involved with RP I'm not in, but it does seem like a cute ship. :) I'm tempted to draw a pic of them even though I don't know their story.
I will most likely just post it in this last RP room, seen we are going to have a small time skip are next session, (it will most likely be the rest of the night and part of next day and the group is on the move again, I'll have it were Catch keep his distance from the others while they are in town from embarrassment and how he looks but he will follow them more when they leave the town, I'll have Anna notes explain better to) @ turtle is also going to set up something as well
15 Feb, 2017, 3:59 am
I wish I could show you my actual acrylic paintings ;w;
15 Feb, 2017, 4:12 am

17 Feb, 2017, 2:45 pm
Re: Yeah, I guess Panda did XD i was just being paranoid because i had originally involved something along the lines of what you had for the picture you titled "atmosphere" didn't want to make it like that just in case so, i decided to ask some advice.. XD atleast im cautious :)

Re: Thank you! I've been planning them for 3 years!
18 Feb, 2017, 12:16 am
Re: Oh is that so? Sorry to hear that Fade. I have had these flees on my mind for 3 years and i haven't gotten around to making them. That's why it took me an eternity. Meh, hope you are well! Even with a tight schedule :s ^-^

(Why did I not comment on this yet?) You're very skilled! Those eyes look positively photo-realistic! Also, I love that little rant at the beginning XD I knew your dragosona's eyes weren't actually like that, that's why I drew the silly fanart of her XD
21 Mar, 2017, 8:56 pm
OMG THIS IS SO AMAZING!!
