Well, I found a neat little picture of an eye on the internet, and had a cool little idea. I made two different versions, I like the outcome of each, but I thought you guys might give a better opinion. Also, the eye coloring is supposed to be extremely saturated, that is the whole point, I was trying to make the iris, pop, a little more.

Please give your thoughts, and how I could make it better, thanks!!

Everything except the pupil is saturated? Then you do selection around the pupil, chose gradient or block colour then overlay?

I'm merely guessing how you did it.


But, nice work. Maybe make the white around the iris darker?

In this one, I more just wanted everything to stand out, which is why the iris is extremely saturated, and the pupil is extremely dark, and the part around the iris lighter. I was thinking of a theme, and the most suitable was the eye is the window into the soul, so I wanted to give this person a very exhilarating soul, which, if you notice, anything that isn't part of the actual eye, is blurred and smudged quite a bit. I did this, because like I said, I wanted the eye to be the center of the piece, not the top left, this is all part of my style, I like the main part to be the main part, nothing else in the way, which is why in a lot of my sigs, you will see my name hardly noticeable.

Mehh, I wasn't wanting a glare or anything, I just wanted the iris, and the white part of the eye, to stand out a lot, wasn't going for anything complicated, just a neat effect :P
