"Follow Me Eyes" by Bob Schneider

Here is an easy way to give the illusion that the eyes of a stained glass figure are following you.
The eyes of the figure are set back from the plane of the face.
The 3-dimensional eye-balls, when seen through the hollow sockets, appear to always be looking at the observer.
This is a great technique for animals, dogs, cats, deer, and birds. A person's face will also work: Jesus, Einstein, Charles Manson, wizzards...well, ok.....not Charles Manson. :-)

Here is a SIMULATION of how the eyes "appear" to follow a moving observer. The eyes are actually stationary, but always seem to be staring at an observer.

Instructions on how to create this effect are available.
