    I don't know either.
    But there's no pupil effect from this angle:
    So, I guess, it's just the angle the light hits it and the shape of the eyes.

    Uh, and did you paint the chest orb(s) from the inside?

    Looks terrific. Each time I see your profile shot, of the dragon, the shadow makes it look like you made a two headed dragon. I know it's not really but I had the same thought twice today

    The gold on the wings look great! Did you paint the gold pieces on the dragon neck and tail? Those pieces pop off very easy.
