Casting Resin "Follow me" eyes

[Temperance]

I've had people asking me questions about casting resin eyes, so I thought I'd make up a nice tutorial:

Very clear and easy-to-follow.  Thanks, Temperance; this will come in handy to a lot of people!

Paint trays.  Must remember that.  The molds they sell in the craft stores are useless for eye shapes.

I took me a long time to figure it out XD
I had tried ping pong balls cut in half, but they failed.  Then, one day I was wandering through a dollar store and went "Hey, I could use those!  If they don't work, I'm only out a dollar"

Best dollar I ever spent ^_^

That's a good way of seeing the loss of money. xD

I should try that sometime, I'm a bit too pessimistic.

Also, how can you see out the eyes of a fursuit if you have these kind of eyes?

They're like, glassy and covered with paint so you can't see anything.

Good tutorial, too bad I'm not artistic enough to make a fursuit of my own. xP

Frost Wulfe: Correct me if I'm wrong Temp, but I think you see out of ducts underneath the eyes, coloured black of course, which are added on later? Not too sure.

[Temperance]

Yes exactly.  There are screens under the eyes that you see out of.  I use a stretchy black fabric that when pulled tight you can see through.  Before that, I used pantyhose. 
Buckram is pretty common as well for screens, and some people use darkened lenses like those in sunglasses.
