Thanks very much Riddokun for your EXCELLENT eye research and development! And to Kayarnad for your further tests and development! This whole EYE thing has really opened my EYES about more interesting looking characters. EYES really are a major important feature in a character! You can really see how many previous Vicky renders here at Renderosity have such DEAD eyes in their heads. There is no LIFE coming out of the eyes. This is why too I think the whole ANIME look revolves around the EYES and not ETHNICITY. Many Japanese Anime artists use BLUE eyes in their characters (or other colors like green, etc. This is because they also want to say that ANIME is not JAPANESE, it is a CHARACTER STYLE for representing HUMAN CHARACTERS. Its why Anime is so popular, I think. Artist Margaret Keane also understood this 50 years ago- that especially on CHILDREN and ANIMALS, very large eyes on her characters had a HUGE IMPACT on art buyers. In fact for many in the art business, whenever someone else makes big eyes on a character other people will say "Those are KEANE EYES". But since ANIME has become so popular today, people now say "those are ANIME eyes". But no matter what you call it, the EYES are the focal point for an interesting character and the eyes should have LIFE IN THEM. NOW we can say "Those are Riddokun eyes"!
