How many dragons have you found in the real world? I have found quite a few. This one looks pretty cool. Just his face only profiled to the right. His eye has that black diagonal line going through it. And as you can see, im presenting you with the original and burn and dodge. Hope ya like! ^.^

That seeing multiple things is still something that I am trying to understand. I know that most of what people call "seeing" is really done in their brains. Here is a vivid example demonstrating that: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/356788/
I suspect that evolution has provided our brains with hardwired mechanisms for detecting well camouflaged animals and human faces hiding in the bushes because back in the good old days, our lives depended on seeing prey and enemies. The costs of a false detection would usually be lower - in the case of human enemies, much lower - than the costs of failure to detect something that was really there.

I've seen that experiment before. Or if not that, many others like it. Optical illusions are fun. Also, its funny you should mention that about the evolution thing. I was doing research last night about this stuff I see. Apparently the term for it is pareidolia. A recent watcher informed me of that term. And I read a few articles about how this kind of sight maybe an evolutionary trait. Although, if that's so. Than why did it suddenly happen to me one day at work. Never had I seen hundreds of faces before everywhere I went. And then one day out of the blue BAM! It hits me like a ton of bricks.
That is very interesting! I can appreciate how feeling lost and helpless might switch on a survival program that could be a life saver to someone who was literally lost and helpless back in the paleolithic, and our genetics has undergone very little change since then. This might sound a bit far out, but I wonder if a course in seeing hidden critters and faces might have antidepressant effects...
Well it definitely has helped me be happier. I see faces sometimes that if they look cute or something, it usually makes me smile or laugh. I use to be really depressed before I found this. Since then, things have really turned around. And I don't think your idea is that farout. Discovering these things for yourself or others seeing like this would definitely bring a less bleak of an outlook on our world. Show people true beauty in the mundane or dull.
One of the most fundamental judgements that any critter (including human critters) must make of their capabilities is how well equipped they are to survive. Being able to see potential food and enemies has been essential for survival for hundreds of millions of years. If one can perform this vital task well, its not surprising that one is likely to feel good about it and about life in general. And if your stomach is full, the critters that one sees can be fun rather than food.
You have 369 Watchers and nearly 2,600 Faves, which leads to the inescapable conclusion that lots of people viewing your art enjoy doing so. Furry yiff is an obvious road to FA success, and yiffery has an obvious evolutionary importance. Who would have thought that seeing and exhibiting critters and faces hiding in worn concrete and melting snow would do much the same!
