Much better, yes. Another thing that bothers me on the brown one - the iris edge is too sharp.

I have no idea what the ring is on the blue iris - I don't expect to see that in the color map of the human iris.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
