Aloha TC,
I was forced into actually doing real work for the past few days so I couldn't get to TC. Thanks for all the input! REALLY HELPS. I knew when I sketched in the new eyes they did change the look of the tiki drastically. I got that the old eyes gave the tiki a sorta darker look. and, your right, it was the major tone of the piece. I put in the spiral eyes, and it changed the tone. I kinda knew it when I did it, I just wasn't sure if it was an improvement or not. The original idea was something a bit mysterious and perhaps dangerous. After getting your feed back, and mulling it over, maybe spiral shell eyes are nice... in the next painting, I think ... I gotta go look at the canvas again!

Thanks so much!
Big Aloha from the Big Island,
