Ommetophobia

Woop woop!
My first piece of uni work on dA horaaaaayy!

This was for our first assesed piece in 'conceptual thinking' class, where we were asked to illustrate a phobia.

For ommetophobia, the fear of eyes, I chose to try & illustrate a bit of the fear I can understand, which is the fear of your eyes being damaged. So here we have precious precious eye in it's eyebox, with the eyelid to the eyebox (lol) not there to protect it. C'mon it'd be scary to have no eyelids! The black...hand thingies, are representive of threats to the eye in general, since everything from dust to sunlight can damage our eyes.

I hope it's at least a little bit scary!
The black...hand thingies were drawn in ink with a brush & toothbrush, then I added a little colour & textures in Photoshop CS2 & Painter IX.

Comments & critique always appreciated, I'd be interested to hear what people think
