it's the translucency that really gives the monsters inc eyes that special quality, a friend of mine is working on photoreal eyes at the moment and he is having a nitemare of a time with them user added image

I thought of the hat on the larger eye idea as a was scrolling too, then thought about how it would fall off too, then laughed when i read that you guys did all the same. I'm soooooo ispired howard, and that guy you linked too, AMAZING!
