I couldn't sleep last night... and thought it would be cool to a close-up of Reptile's eye again.
Somehow, I have never been satisfied with his eyes... and we all know that the eyes are so very important for the expression of any character!
Personally, I love drawing eyes of any kind... and this time I've tried to draw Reptile's eyes as realistic as possible.
And everything is done with traditional media!
Enjoy!
Drawing media:
Pencils, ink, brush, COPICS, markers, coloured pencils, acrylics (no digital media!)
Working time:
4 hours!
Size of the paper:
15cm x 10cm
Artwork and character © Patrick Reichel aka reptilecynrik

NOTE:
I updated this picture and decreased the saturation of the inner iris and I also added a slightly visible sclera (left corner).

Yeah, I could not get away from it......... ^^ Thanks for the comment!

Does this have to do this that Sauron joke I made over Christmas holidays?

Imagine Ian Malcolm and Sarah Harding seeing this in the Jurassic Park Mobile Lab window.
ARGH!!!
Shoo, SHOO! I blow in your eye!
PHEW, PHEWWWWWWWW!
Haha!
The way you captured the lighting and simulated the sub surface scattering and texture have me in awe. The eye itself could not feel more alive, intimidatingly so in fact. Keeping eye contact with Reptile would be hard with that level of intensity.
Damn man, if you taught university classes I would be booking it to Germany in a heartbeat, tuition charges be damned!

Thanks for the kind words.

I suddenly feel...really weak...(falls into your arms)
Yes...looks like I'll need to be with you for a few hours...or days.
I'm fine, thanks! ^^ It's been some busy couple of months and it won't get any easier in the future... but I manage.
On the bright side... this is my second traditional artwork this month! The year is starting very nicely. ^^
After all, TRADITIONAL MEDIA is my tool of trade and people watch be BECAUSE of it!!!!
And I am happy with this artwork here... I like it very much.
Like I said... work is fine... family is fine... lots if work but ok.

You know... I've tried to make it my avatar... and it looks alright but you know what the problem is? It doesn't look individual enough.
It looks like a "lizard eye"... like any lizard eye. A nice eye but still any lizard's eye. Could even be a crocodile... XD
So... I'll keep the REPTILE head so everybody can recognize HIM!
^__^
But yes, the eye is a nice avatar... though it's just a lizard eye.

haha you sould have drawn 2 itzy bity TINY warriors having a epic battle on the bottom of hes eye lid XD looks like hes really big ^^ or something like that haha
hha XD no but in hes world theirs micro races im sure lol whos knows what tiny beings live on hes body and yet he has no idea XD......i know wher i wanna live if i was a micro :p
This looks pretty great, I like the details in it. And even though it would make a great icon I think it would be a bit too detailed for icon size, and there are plenty of icons like that around already so it would not really stand out as much as it deserves. It deserves to be seen in a higher resolution like this I think so you can appreciate the details.
You know, I've made an avatar/icon version of this. The problem was NOT the level of detail... the problem was: it is JUST a lizard eye!
IT DOES NOT look individually enough. ^^"
It is just an eye.
In THIS size here, we can still see the special "eye brow scales" and stuff... but you cannot see it on the cube shaped icon.
And yes... you already said it: it would NOT stand out much!
Thanks a lot for the comment, man!

Seriosuly man, this is a gorgeus piece of art : D
I know you once did an eye of Reptule before, but with few differences and good improvement with the eyeñs details, like all this gradient and use of colors and texture on it, and of course, adding these eyebrows.
Also a nice plus with this zoom is that you showed us how Reptile´s scales has its texture, which is different with the eye that it´s soft and shiny and the eyebrows that looks the most hard of the scales.
A great art work and a good opportunity for the detials thanks to the zoom ; )

Awwwwwww, thanks a lot!!! ^___^
I've done a lot of "eye shots"... but have never been really satisfied. Anyway, this one is the newest and I like it.
The scales... are tough and I don't really know... you see... I'm always thinking about new ways to design the scales. XD
Sometimes, I want them like snake scales... or lizard... or dinosaur... there are so many possibilities!!
XD
Thanks for the comment, my friend! :3

haha you should zoom in to other parts lol like hes nostrils XDXD
when i start ill do that with my characters i like those parts on anthros like the nose ears (dep inside their eras XD) and eyes of course i like to explore every single microscopic place in and out of my characters lol........and other places XD PS - never knew your Reptile had green eyes tell you zoomed in they look very healthy ^^ lol
As a matter of fact this green part in the eye is supposed to be less green... it is a part of the iris, which is mostly yellow. ^^
And he has also a white sclera but we cannot see it so often. In fact, his eye colour would be yellow... with some green splashes.
