Soulful Eyes

Normally I would not Post this here, but in my scraps, yet I really like how the eyes came out and I do not plan to finish this.

Between my frantic speed reading and on the occasion typing, I managed to find some time to snap a picture of my Dog Niko lying on the ground looking to me. The way he looked at me was more than cute though. It was, well, it was almsot Soulful, like he was looking right to my soul. I've always felt that Animals are actually one of the purest of life forms, and it has been shown that domestic Animals will try to save a family member if something is awry. Some can even be trained to do so. Niko Knows all too well my feelings, and can sometimes detect them before I do and prevent them. More than once I have begun to feel sad, and then Niko will come over with his ears back and just lay his head on my lap. That's all, he will lay his head on my lap and look at me, as if to say 'Don't be sad, I'm here, your best Buddy is here, best Buddy.'

When he lay there, I managed to snap a picture of it and was thinking about painting it. I began to process but gave up because I simply did not have the time. I managed to do the Eyes, and I felt "Screw it. Niko's eyes are like his best feature. This is getting on my DA/FA/SA/JP."

So, here it is. Also, Ref Photo can be seen here: http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/7835/dsc00141oo0.jpg
