There was one in The Flow - issue escapes me, but around 5-6/2010.

Janel Dudley used to have a good one, but I can't find it any longer.

Tumbled on to this some years back;

Looks like if you make the iris stringer streaky by folding it and stretching it repeatedly you can get it pretty realistic looking.


I haven't tried my self yet. Eyes have not been high on my list of to do's.
