Thanks Devonna! I'll be doing more. I'm on vacation for a week so I'll be taking a short hiatus, but I'll be back on it soon enough. Have a great weekend everyone!

The shading is awesome and inspiring there is a depth here and I find that when I look into the eyes I get lost. I love these eyes but they are erie yet a window to the soul.

i agree with everyone that the eyes are very expressive! its amazing that you can create emotion with a few strokes of a pencil. in some cultures looking directly into someones eye is disrespectful. communication is done with body language and energy. i think thats why my salamander has no face

That means your lizard is a "class A" totem...It has no eyes so it wil never lose its power!
