Why the Lack Of Small Eyes?
« on: April 18, 2020, 02:41:47 am »
I've noticed a lack of small eyed characters, most characters are usually big eyed (or even the max size eyes, which I find a little creepy). So what's the lack of small eyes about?

I don't know, I usually just leave mine at the default size. xD
For the sake of my own health and interests, I've left FH and I won't be looking back.

Have you seen what happens when the eyes are small? Characters tend to look ridiculous lol.

Yeah they do make the characters look odd depending on their physical attributes, but each to their own.

My character Doggy the pitbull has quite tiny eyes, if she had bigger eyes it would take the pitbull look away.

Tiny eyes look angry on most characters?
Huge eyes look fine on cartoon styled characters. Tiny ones on like... giant things
The Japanese concept of wabisabi:
The closest concept in english would be 'rustic'
They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?

I generally go with the big eyes, but it is personal preference~

I go with big eyes because they appear nicer and cleaner on my characters. Small eyes are barely visible and look funny to me lol.
