I think I rushed into making these (or I procrastinated too long, whichever you choose) because there were some ideas in my head, but I never thought to test them out BEFORE working on a final project. I just jumped right into this and assumed everything would go how I wanted it, and sadly it didn't. There were a few ideas I had in mind that I didn't add to this, and won't be adding to future eyes of this series.

I'm trying to keep this one similar to the american zodiac, at least with the zodiac symbol in the pupil and designing the iris. However, all eyes of this series will be a similar style to this one with the glitter or something like it, and will all be different as opposed to the american zodiac ones. Hope you guys like these as much as the other set. Next is the Ox.

EDIT: I completely forgot to add the eyeliner on this one. I haven't done eyes in a while so I'm a bit rusty. I fixed it now. Hope you still like it.

Since a lot of you seem to question the colors I chose, I'll tell you now that I had a book of the chinese zodiac (I don't remember what the name was and I no longer have the book), and the colors used for each eye are the ones the book listed as the dominant colors for each sign. I'm sorry if anyone has a problem with it,or if you have a different source of information that lists different color(s) than the ones I chose, but the colors for my eyes are staying as is.
