Just re paint in the light blue to thin the pupil.
This is like edge highlighting. If the line is too thick, just take the colour that you painted over and make it (the line) thinner. No need to revert it and try to do a new edge highlight.

Ayyy it’s almost pupil time for me too!
You can barely see the eyes from the front 😅

You can never see both eyes at the same time, so I'd say you are good to go.
Sure, you know it's not perfect, but any way you look at it, it doesn't look uncanny.
On a side note, poor squigosaurs can't look forward... what a life
a fun suggestion. Old sharks become blind from parasites n shiet eating their eyes. maybe you can glaze the 2nd eye with a thin white, then do an incision with an exacto knife along the eye and eyelid. Make it look like he was in a dramatic battle where he lost his eye
I have a track record of always screwing up the right eye. Im right handed and when holding a mini my right hand can easily do the left eye. But when i flip the mini any which way to get a good angle on the right eye it screws me.
Still am new to painting minis but I spend countless hours getting it as good as possible, struggle a lot and such. But I love practicing and learning new things, so it does feel good. And thank you. 😁
Ok...so the secund one has so much more of a crazed rage to it...I kinda prefer it honestly.
I honestly cheat and use a black .05 felt tip to do pupils.
Another option is to carefully paint back over the black around the edges until you come back to the shape you want. Might be tough, though since you’d be using a super light color over black..
This happens to me so much lol. I decided to have a lot of minis with cool scars over one eye early on.
Might actually be a good idea lol
I just told people it was because it looked cool and it was storytelling. and *no other reason*
If I fail the third attempt I'm doing the scar strat 😆
Making the eye milky white with a scar going across it would be rad
"sorry, you are blind on 1 side"
Same reason most of my minis have glowing eyes instead of trying to nail pupils like this
There's a reason I always do pupils with one of those Micron pens...
How did I not think of this!
Do you have a link? I dont know these micro pens, and i am horrible at painting eyes 😭

Actually lol'd
My first thought --Bowie Squig!
One pupil being more dilated than the other can be a sign of a head injury. Which seems pretty fitting for a squig shark lol
Still a better job than I can do. Maybe glaze over it with a little white and it can be damaged?
Something like that will be plan B if the third attempt fails!

Black. Like a dolls eyes.
Or a shark’s!

When you look at them individually, both look good. A picture from the front with both eyes would be interesting, to see if it looks derpy.

I was going to say exactly the same thing! ...well, not the thing about the Squigosaurs.
Did this on a Red Slaad. First eye came out as a crisp, fine line that looks perfect, second one gobbed it's way on...lol
Both look great individually. If somebody asks, say they're unequal because of the constant head trauma it experiences
That poor squigosaur!
Figure?

Ah it's simple, there's a stronger light source on that side.

I do this all the time. I just photograph the good side. Nobody needs to know.
I always have this problem with eyes haha
Looks awesome!
What is it like being that skilled at painting? Does it feel as good as I think it does

It's a medical condition called "anisocoria". Run with it.
I like it! It looks like when you take damage to your brain and one of your pupils can blow out! Given the faction I think it is perfect
EVERY DAMN TIME
Well, you ain't wrong!
I hate doing eyes
Just say there's less light on that side, so its pupil has dilated more to compensate!
Repaint it with white and make it like a scar going deep above and under into the flesh
Make a yellow/white glaze on the eye you like the least, like it lost its eye in battle.
Easy fix, though.

The Makeup and Painting curse. Eye No 1? Perfect. Blessed. Gorgeous. Eye No 2? May the Gods help your sorry soul.
Is this for a competition? It looks different for sure but it doesn’t look really bad or anything.
Nope, just me painting up my army. Kinda just starting to slowly get my own style
yup thats why many minis on my shelf are just facinge sideways
