The pupil is slightly elevated compared to the on-camera pupil, but the size is the same (two differently sized pupils didn't look right, looked like the character was on drugs or something). The slant of the lid may only be slightly different from the on camera eye (or maybe it isn't it's very hard to tell by eye), but it looks ok to me. I forshortened and shrank the off camera eye a little bit. Using the same expression as I posted before, this is new version:

I was just wondering if you guys had ideas about how to handle this. I also tried moving the off-camera pupil toward the other pupil, instead of away from it, but then the character looks kind of cross-eyed. If I try this with my eyes, I get a weird looking lid shape on the off-camera eye. I started looking at Garfield cartoons to see how Jim Davis (I think that's the cartoonist's name) handled it, but what I realized is that a) those characters have eyes that overlap, which I don't want mine to do, and b) the slant (when a character is angered in a 3/4 view) on the off-camera eye on his character ends in the middle, it's just that it's covered by the overlapping on-camera eye, making it look "correct". My solution before was to alter the slant of the lid on the off-camera eye so that it cuts the pupil in approximately the same way, but now I find I don't like the way that looks. So if take those same eyes, and simply shift the pupils over, and use that for the 3/4 view, it looks like this:Īs you can see, the "off camera" eye now looks weird compared to the eye that's toward the camera the pupil doesn't interact with the lid in the same way, giving the expression a different feel. You see what I call my "slightly annoyed" expression.
Here's what I mean: In this frontal picture, for instance, For some expressions, this looks okay (I have many different sets of eyes in a switch layer), and some expressions it doesn't. So, basically, I was trying to use the same pair of eyes in my character's frontal pose as in the 3/4 view. This is more of an art/aesthetic question than an ASP problem, so I hope this category's okay.
