As a matter of fact, the accurate way to depict surprised eyes is to widen them so that
you can see the white all the way around the iris, and to dilate the pupils. Your pupils
do not generally contract when you are surprised; they dilate to let in more light and
increase visual range to help spot potential threats (even though surprise isn't the same
as fear, it's still part of the fight-or-flight instinct).
There are various reasons why people tend to draw the pupils as contracted rather than dilated when drawing a surprised expression, but I think the biggest reason might be that it tends to make the eyes look more "dead," which helps to illustrate the effect that shock has on the mind. There's nothing wrong with doing it that way, of course; it's quite effective - but technically speaking, it's incorrect.
In any case, the most important element of the eye in a surprised expression is that the iris is entirely surrounded by white; it's not the size of the pupils, but rather the iris touching the upper and lower lids that makes the expression harder to read as surprise.

The medical industry likes to hype the flu-threat up a lot; yeah, people still die from
the flu, but the odds are so low that it's just not worth putting extra crap in your body
that can screw with your system.
The main problem is thimerosal, a mercury-based _neurotoxin_ which is used as a preservative in the vaccines. Thimerosal has been linked to autism and Guillain-Barre syndrome. Studies have also shown that people who have five consecutive flu shots are ten times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease.

Ah-ah-ah - 180 degree rotations are a no-no; especially when you don't have an extablished
visual context (distinct background elements) to anchor the reader's sense of placement.
Not to mention that something as important as a transformation is taking place. If I
didn't already know how the characters end up looking, I'd be confused by this.
Do not confuse the reader.
Confusing the reader is bad.

My embarrassing fact: My mom used to pet my hair when I was agitated to help me calm down
or comfort me (because I have Asperger's Syndrome and so when I'm in a bad way I can't
handle being hugged even if I want comfort), so I ended up developing a habit of playing
with my hair when I'm nervous, which is pretty much any time I have to talk to someone I'm
not really close to. Unfortunately, this can read as flirting, which can make the other
person uncomfortable and is definitely _not_ what I want. Ironically, I'm also asexual.

Hmm... It's a bit late for this to be occurring to me, but is there something about Eila's
vagina that makes those who enter it targets for demonic possession? I think this might
demand thorough investigation...any volunteers? (I ain't going in there, toooo scary!)
