INSPIRATION:

I really love the human eye as i'm sure a few of you have noticed, It's one of my favorite parts of the human body. Little biological cameras with direct feeds into our brains, it's almost a surreal concept in its own right.
Also taking a bit of inspiration from old Germanic runes. (Elder Futhark, etc.)

PROCESS:

Starting this one with a pencil draft, it took me a bit longer then usual to get this work rolling. I'm trying my best to stay disciplined and within a time frame, failed a little bit this week.

On to ink! Using a fine liner for most of the work on this one, I wanted to step away from the blacked out star-field background this time.

After blacking out certain areas of the eye with a brush, I switch to color. General rule for me is to start with light colors first, then move into darker colors over top.

Then it's a few hours of blending so that the color change is a bit smoother, then i'll call it finished.

Great artwork and post! Love seeing the progress :)

hmm how interesting it reminds me a bit of the book: Umberto Ec​o, Foucault Pendulum.WOW.

Thanks for the feedback!
I've never heard of that book, seems interesting from what I've looked up about it though.

This is nice, I like your style. Good stuff.
Upvoted and followed.

Thanks! I'm happy you enjoy it.

Thanks man!

You're welcome and thanks for the upvote!

A bit different because there's no black starry background, but still really neat. Super cool work! p.s. did you hide any secret rune messages in there? ;)

Thanks! Yea, I noticed I had been doing a lot of those backgrounds. Gotta change it up here and there.
No actual messages, just vague symbolism. haha

Vague symbolism is good enough for me. I assume you are sacrificing small rodents to Norse deities every night before you go to bed.
