Boredom Produces Artwork.

first attempt at space

So I was extremely bored Saturday and Sunday night around 1 am, pain pills make it so I cant sleep. So i decided to do a little work on Photoshop and here are the results.
Eyes are interesting to work with, because so much can be done with the pupils and the iris provides ample space for patterns and the high resolution image was fun to work with, simply because I could work with smaller patterns and adjust the pupil size while not fumbling with pixel ratios.
Note:all photos are much smaller than original. i normally work in 1280p X 800p
