here is mine from a straight on view and my WOLF eyes are half circles.

Humm..sorry to say this but the eyes on your doesn't work for both male and female. Chronicle have the references, we just need their artist to go with what it is and do tests. Off the shelf stuff just does not work if you want to get something right.

oh dayummmmmmmmmmmm.


custom it is ! bring it on.

Just to chip in and offer my opinion on the subject (I know you wouldn't sleep easy without knowing) I am of the opinion that, if I'm paying 5-600+ for a bust, or any kind of large scale statue really, I'd be more than happy to pay a bit more to cover the costs of acrylic eyes etc. I'm a Predator guy, I'm a sideshow fan and I own many of their pieces. But they have a bad habit of just painting lenses on masks etc, even at 1:2 and 1:1 scale and it never looks right. I do wish they would start using real lenses as it makes a world of difference, it really does. And it's the same deal with eyes. Now acrylic eyes aren't a standard in the hobby, so it wouldn't be the end of the world if they were painted, or even decals, certainly not a deal breaker by any means. But if the option is ever there, And I'm talking in general for any of your items, not just this... I say go for it.

The only way to find out is to do test fits.

well, maybe so. and yes of course. i want things right. but as long as they are acrylic eyes and they have a realistic look to them and are the right color and details thats what im wanting. things im posting are just more for examples more than anything.

but i think the painted eyes will cheapen the look. wont look realistic at all once it is in hand, acrylic eyes do look real in hand..

It's cool/ok that you don't understand. Most people doesn't even know how wrong this piece was pages back and saying they'll buy it. The off the shelf stuff would not work for so many reasons. I'll just leave it to the pros at Chronicle and if they need a help/fresh set of eyes to have a look see. We have people here really knows what they are talking about to help out.
