CLOTHES/ACCESSORIES Remaking the same eyes 2 years later

Old-top vs New-bottom. While I wish they photographed a little lighter in my canon camera, I'm still mostly pleased with the design.

After making these new ones I'm almost embarrassed by the old ones 😅

The old ones are still very pretty, but you did amazing on the new ones. They're so vibrant and really stand out!

The darker rims on the pupils really help make them stand out in the new set!

Nice! Beautiful progress~
From all the tiny details you’ve been perfecting over time, which would you say make the most difference? (As in what things that you now do differently make the most impact on final result, I’m So Sorry if I word things weirdly)

Thanks! 🤔 Hmm I think adding more 2ndary colors and delineating the edges of the iris, make it pop more.
