I made this WIP of a vultus luminaria from Pressure.

It's just been sitting on my computer for a few months and I don't plan on finishing it.

Learning about eyes of different animals in order to make a plausible searchlights eye!

Ramble about realistic eye down here:

So! The tapetum lucidum only reflects light, doesnt create it, which is why the normal searchlight doesn't work. If it could somehow make light, that would be inside the eye and render it basically useless, since the eye is already trying to take light in from the outside world.

This is why I am thinking about an eye with a bioluminescent ring around it! With that, and maybe some pigmentation on the inner circle of the eye to reduce flare and blur, you could basically use it like a flashlight!

However, this slightly less concentrated circular light might not be effective as a very concentrated light directly under the eye, kind of like a light on a gun. There would be no giant blind spot as well. It feels more plausible, so I might be using that one though critique is appreciated.

Now im not sure if I'm going for a compound or camera eye, but I think the easiest to research would be a camera eye, because I see like that. Panoramic vision could be achieved by an eyestalk, and I'd also possibly want them to be telescoping like a chameleons (makes far away things much bigger) in order for it to hone in and strike and catch prey everytime.

Open debate - are the Vultus Luminaria's main bodies black or some very dark brown?

Small Pressure comic based off of something that happened today

So who was gonna tell me that the Searchlights can destroy those hollow crate things?

For context, it had spotted me and so I went to the first hiding spot I saw, which was one of the giant hollow crates. Next thing I know, I see its hooks literally destroying my hiding spot and then they hooked me.

I was able to survive the encounter though!
