Let the Graphical Overhaul Commence!

I honestly think the redrawn eyes are just fine. And the iris isn't bigger than, say Mia's.


Mia's looking to the side, which changes perceptions about her expression.

Aeyr just can't win, can he? Poor guy...


Offered some suggestions in my latest edit. ... Tell us what's totally non-negotiable, and we'll try to alter Aeyr to be less creepy and staying within the requirements...

Aeyr's eye line is lowered and given a more downward slant, his iris' have been increased, and his bang line was lowered slightly to hopefully match the others a big more. How is this? Better?

Larger irises = Creepier... Everyone else's irises don't take up ~70% of their total eye area... And that makes it still feel wide-eyed... I think.

Shrink the hair's volume a bit? Because where the hair stops is where people think the forehead ends... Which could be just be me getting used to thinking of Big-Forehead!Ayer, and consequently being unable to see his forehead as anything but big... ... I guess you can't get the bangs to cover the eyes instead of framing them?

Well, there are a couple of moments at the end of his prologue where you see the slasher smile, but overall I thought I had fixed it since the concept post. Guess I made it worse, huh?

It's due to the wide-eyed look from having his sclera (the whites of the eye) visible all around his iris, instead of the old art, which had him look more (sedate?) due to his eyelid covering the top of his iris, and not producing the upper sclera for a non-wide-eyed look.

*twitch*... Ninja'd again! ... Sorta... :)

What I meant specifically is that such a large part of Aeyr's head (on the vertical axis) is covered by hair, it makes it look like he has a gigantic forehead. Does that explanation make any sense?

Agreed. Aeyr's hair makes up like... 40% of his face's height, while everyone else has it around 20%? Just a visual estimate there... ... No, wait, 30% seems like the better guess.

What I must admit I don't like that much is Aeyr's head: It just seems a little too stretched and pointy, seeing what a huge portion of it is covered in hair. Also, his grin on the old portrait was already unsettling, but with those wide open eyes his expression just looks insane. Of course, if this is intentional once his transformation has begun, that makes sense, but it is way too exaggerated to work for him during the prologue. At least, that is my impression.

I said the same thing in the Aeyr Art Post. ... I think... I guess his expression could work in the prologue if he's naturally that creepy/chipper when he's enthusiastic...?

Hmm... Where could this be? The door-thing looks like a computer chip. And the walls sorta look like circuit diagrams?

So possibly inside a large computer? ... Well, it's a dreamworld, why not? ... Although, I forget if we've seen hints of any technological enemies anywhere, either in the music or any other art.

... Perhaps this is what the inside of the crystals are like?

I'm the 43th view, and the first commenter? Huh.

Music

author=Housekeeping
I must be a decent composer because, yep, that's where the song plays. It also plays in Jimmy's house (the two areas are adjacent).


The name helps. 'Open Window' is a freedomy name.

Music

Sounds floaty 'cause of the ringing, sorta crystally things?

Amalie Redesign

Wait. So is the final version, including shadowing and stuff? 'Cause the old one seems brighter/less dull, and more consistent in the lighting.

And her dull eye in the new one is creeping me out... as it's more like she's just staring at her hand constantly in the new one, as the old one has her iris be more in the center of her eye...

Aeyr Wilder Redesign

His face seems either too long, or the picture is squished along the horizontal axis?

Smile feels like Slasher Smile, especially with the eyes... Which I think are a bit non-symmetrical?
