Erik, i thank you for your kind and constructive feedback. It means a lot to me a luminary like you takes time to look at my work. This is not fun. I appreciate your work very much and i am sure you are one of the greatest of our guild. :yeah:

But you therein speak a point drives me in doubt again and again: the eyes (and sometimes the fur) of small animals. :mad:

My difficulty is the following. There is no question for me to sculpt the eyes of horses or cattles. This fits in my interpretation of the scale. Eyes of dogs do not. I know that maybe I'm lonely with this opinion, but an eyeball of a dog is large depending on the breed between 1-3 cm, is visible it even less - so we talk about scale eyes with reasonably 0.15 to 0.25 mm, which also in the original much less three-dimensional than the eyes of a man, for example. :affraid:

Here is to be found for my second handicap. I lack the skills to reproduce this "sizes" technically, I'm just honestly. I can not even see properly they. Therefore, I interpret in dogs the area of ​​the eyes only in the form of "eye sockets", in which a small point of color can be set (but not need). :shock: :( :stressed:

You can now understand me, laugh at me or the head shaking with compassion, but I can not give you any other answer. :sweatdrop:

Maybe you have some tips for me? :oops:

Just a little question: What is your next planned release? The boars or playful shepherds or something else?
