yes, fantastic detail, very surreal and reminds me of artwork I'd see for A Clockwork Orange or a snipet from Fahrenheit, it has this eloquent beauty

i love the detail in the pupil. (is that what that is? the pupil?) i skipped eyeball anatomy in highschool. either way... great stuff!
rudra
rudra on May 03 '06
the pupil is the black center

the doily makes up the iris





i like the concept, but....



the caruncle (inner pink corner) is at a very sharp upward angle, and should be either horizontal or angled slightly down



the arm making the lower lid looks weird - i think it's because in general the lower lid is thin and the upper lid is heavier



and the arm should extend so that it extends the length of the lid, with the cup at the corner of the eye





possibly nit-picky, but anatomy that's close but "off" bothers me

outlawpencil on May 03 '06
Interesting idea, but it seems a bit overdone. I'd focus on the iris-as-table and drop the eyelid-arm. I think those ideas compete for attention. The perspective seems awkward.

This is definitely my favourite of your designs thus far, but you keep amazing me every 2 to 3 submissions.

Just letting you know...

This has to be one of the nicest pieces of vector work I've ever seen.

There is so much detail, and it is so aesthetically pleasing, it's just amazing. I don't know if I'd actually wear it, but I'm giving you the $5 anyway due to how nice this piece is.

the anatomy comment really bugged me.



rudra... (say it like "newmannnn")



congratulations on your bionerdery. however, if the perspective were looking up at the eye, from down the nose (and you seem to be very familiar with down the nose...), the caruncle would be at a perfectly acceptable angle.



possibly bitchy, but people who flaunt their "irrelevant knowledge" bug me.

Nice design, a lot of work obviously went into both the concept and creation.

I keep looking at this and hoping that it gets way over 3. This is just too fantastic of an illustration and piece of art in general to be not recognized and printed.

i agree with PhoenixPatronus, I think some color would be helpful... i liked this design the longer i looked at it.

gishmi1ish on May 08 '06
Very creepy, and very well-done. An interesting thing to try would be to have the flowers in the vase be longer and stemmier and leaning far to the right... and then they could maybe look like lashes. *shrug* But maybe that's just getting too literal...

Joining the choir here....this is a truly lovely shirt. 5$ To those who seem to think this should be a physically accurate representation of an eye in all respects, I ask: Is it just a picture of an eye? No. Then allow the artist artistic license...yeesh.



Since I'm a big fan of both M.C. Escher's "Eye" and Charles Allan Gilbert's "All Is Vanity," it makes sense that I'd be superkeen on your work, too. Keep it up!

I was just looking back on this design and reading through some of the comments and I want to Thank All of you who really supported this design. It is still one of my favorites. Perhaps I should do a Rev 2 of this design with a splash of color added.



Again Thanks.
