This isn't the way you're "supposed" to make taxidermy eyes, and we still need to do some more experiments. But I think it has real promise. I don't know why it feels so much easier to me to paint on paper than glass. It was fun to see how different the eyes looked after the glass was added - even the ones I painted really fast.
To see how to paint directly on the back of the glass, see Pia's post here:

If you'd like to sculpt a bongo antelope from scratch, you can see my two videos about the one I made 9 years ago here (but remember that I was doing a lot of experiments when I made him, and I wouldn't necessarily do it the same way now):
