Yeah, I agree Ronster.
When I made the mock up, the eye was actually green or yellow, i forget now. I made it red to make it a bit more Alien. However, I did it on my darker tv not monitor, so it looks more brown on there.Now looking at my monitor its too gaudy. Was just a quick knock-up job though to experiment with different animal parts. Almost gave it a beak but kept it simpler. Infact, i almost used parts of a Skeksis face from Dark Crystal. May experiment with that too just for fun. :-)
