Being this will be on stage for a magic show, I doubt very much the minor eye problem will be really noticed. I think people will be too busy staring in amazement at the lion as a whole itself anyways.

Well looks really amazing! I don't think there's anything wrong with the eyes! Only if you look really really close, but even then it gives it a little character.

AWESOMENESS! The whiskers are awesome. I bet you get paid a LOT. Can you put up a pic of the whole mane when finished?
PS:What are they going to use this for?

Wow, for a magic show? Neat! That's much better than using a live lion! Safer and cheaper too

You've done a very beautiful job on this! I know they gave you the eyes but that makes me wonder 2 things:

1. Are they Van Dykes taxidermy eyes?
2. How bid are they?

LilleahWest In reply to Sharpe19 [2009-02-08 08:16:51 +0000 UTC]

the eyes are like maybe an inch
and i dunno where they came from but they are taxidermy eyes

You've done wonders with them either way, thank you.

It may be partly because the one is more covered, but the tear duct looks longer too. Or maybe that is an optical illusion. All the same, it looks really good and makes me even more excited about the mythic cat quad!

It does look like the right (our right, not its) is a little lower on the eyelid than the other side, but it still looks magnificent Are you going to give him a big fluffy mane?

primal visions is forking out a whopping $60 per square foot for super long realistic fake fur for the mane (i hesitate to buy fur that is $60 a yard!!!! per square foot is just...woah)

Sweet deal on the commission
I also agree, the eyes do look a bit off. Might want to fix that mess up of theirs

LilleahWest In reply to RaptorArts [2009-02-07 08:02:06 +0000 UTC]

i think it is the eyelid, the one side is covered more than the other. do you think that is it?

Ya that could be it.

Oooh. It's gorgeous already.

But I agree, the eyes seem to need a slight alignment tweak. Otherwise it looks great! I look forward to seeing what you can do with it!

StevenRoy In reply to LilleahWest [2009-02-07 08:15:15 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, upon closer inspection, it's likely that it's an optical illusion caused by the eyelid. In that case, it will look fine from other angles.
