^ new 16mm vs old 10mm eye

The 10s looked almost right except for the obvious gap around the edges, so I went for eyes in the recommended size that were a similar style...

^ both new eyes

:| except now I think I should have gone with 14mm. Maybe even 12mm...

>_> off to shop for more eyes again...

hmm... I do like the style of the one on the right better, although the one on the left seems to be fitting the slot better?

Yes, but the iris area just seems too large... perhaps I'll swap her eyes with Shard's while waiting for the ones I ordered in other sizes to get here...

Oops, I posted the same picture twice instead of posting the one where she has the full set of new eyes in... fixed now.

hehe i was wondering if there was a difference in the pics before.

I think the iris size is a preferrence thing, some people like them to be huge and others like them small (like me).

Well, there's nothing wrong with the eyes themselves, they're just wrong for her character... and I thought they would look more like the small ones...

So, it looks like the small ones are "animetic" and the large ones are "catseye"...

>_> off I go to find 14mm animetic eyes in purple...

Wow yeah, from 10mm to 16mm is a really big step, I think the size recommended by the company is often a bit too big. I'd go with 12mm or 14mm indeed.

Oddly enough, my AOD boy's recommended eye size was 14mm, but 16mm work best for him... :shock: Hujoo Sara seems to the opposite...
