In retrospect, who would ever have thought eyes are extremely hard to do? I have a new found respect for eye decals that are placed correctly or painted correctly.

The same would apply to a case such as Rogue, only in a different direction. A fraction of a millimeter is all it takes for an eye to look ridiculous, be it upwards or to the side. The Rogue situation was just more noticeable because of her bigger manga-esque eyes.

Glad you wouldn't. I do, though. Eyes break or make a statue.

...Thanks. There were more pics of her posted, but I'm not gonna get around to look for them.

Nobody else talked about the She-Hulk PF either, but hey... My Elektra PF is also perfect, for what is worth. (Really, she is perfect.)

Sorry to repeat myself - it's the angle where the hair lock blocks the view the least, but I can see it just fine regardless. It IS a good thing the lock is mostly blocking it, though, because...

...exactly. That's because both of them have big cartoony eyes and it's therefore MORE noticeable, the key word being "more". (OK, it would actually be "MUCH" more, lol.) But I see it without having "super vision like Superman".

Thanks. Yeah, I'm not putting up with it any more.

Sooo, how about those decals. How does one go about placing them? I mean, are those full pupils? I guess some kind of cropping is in order before applying them.

Agree 100%. As Humans our brains are wired to notice the finest nuances of the Human face for reading emotions or recognitioin and which is why we can tell immediately when something is off. For a statue, it's the same mechanism at work.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

SS still hasn't put up the hi-res pics for this. I always rely on those to get the best look at the pics.
