Making Progress

[kiyakotari]

My eyes have improved by leaps and bounds over the last few weeks. You may remember these prototype eyes that I shared a while back. The eyes below are the exact same pair, with some updates. (They're junk versions, full of bubbles and stuff, but I've tried a few different techniques on them and learned what I do and do not like, as far as results go.)



Getting close to the finish line, now.

Oh, wow. These eyes give me the shivers.

I haven't commented on any of your doll photography - I've been utterly sandbagged for weeks now - but it's really extraordinary. Wonderful, telling shots. And for me just saturated with deja vu - yes, that's what I saw, back in 2005.

I'm really glad you like them. ^__^ And yes, you nailed exactly the reason I decided to "upgrade" portions of the crew. As much as I love the older dolls, these ones are so much closer to what I saw in my head.

My first four (assorted colors, not pairs) eyes made by combining all of the different techniques and tricks I've figured out are in the pressure pot right now, curing. So expect to see some pictures of non-junk eyes very soon.
