I worked for hours on that one eye. I wanted it to be squinty rather than wide open like many others are done. If this fellow was going to wear bunny slippers, then he was going to look grumpy, not crazed.The slippers eyes are sculpted as buttons. I highlighted the rim edges of the button to emphasize the depth, but I think the button holes got lost a little in there.
I think sometimes the scale of these things is lost on the non-miniature painter. They are small.
Even for a mini painter, its easy to forget how small these are...adding the quarter to the pic really emphasizes it. This guy is a hoot!
