Okay, I have to be a bit of a nerd on this one. How big of a canvas do you paint on? Those eyes are absolutely stunning. How do you paint that much detail. Like, my settings are 4k by 4x and I don think I could ever pretend to get close to that.
Thanks! 😀 I usually paint at 6K at 300dpi. I was trying a new style for her eyes with this piece, and there's maybe a half-dozen layers in them. Honestly, there's not much special about the method I used, except that I added a line pattern in the iris. Here's a closer look.
I used a lens flare I rendered in Blender to get the shape and color for the lines. It's an add-on called Flares Wizard. Layer set to overlay with a little painting on top. Here's a quick walkthrough:

Nerd out aside - Unbelievably gorgeous! ❤️❤️❤️
But the highlights add such a glassy look to it as well. It's so pretty!
You did not have to do this but I appreciate it immensely. You're the best.
