A co-worker found a great piece of oak driftwood, 4″ long by 2″ wide, from a beach of one of the Finger Lakes, Seneca Lake.
I was really surprised to see an eye made of wood shaped by nature.
So after some close examination and careful thought, I decided to grant the eye an iris and some scales.
The iris is made from layering Realistic Water with painting some flecks and the pupil.
