Need Help: Eyes


Recommended Posts

I'm just wondering if anyone has any articles, or video's on how one does the new Death Company eyes... they are infuriating me those tiny orbs seem to be like the eyes are popping out of their head.

 

I'm not AWEFUL at eyes... for example: http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll310/LanthierFamily/Warhammer%2040k/Empire/Front-Empire-Spearman.jpg

 

Its just I can't seem to get the DC eyes right with how they stick out ... and its really frustrating me, even leaving the area around the eyes black looks wrong because of how the face is modelled... and short of getting my pliers and "Fixing" the sitatuation by cutting off the heads of all my un-helmeted marine's I'd really like to not give up on what is proving to be very difficult for me to accomplish. and every so frustating.

The trick is to fight the instinct to "center" the pupil. Spend some time looking in the mirror and at some photos. You'll notice that a person's eyelid tends to cover about 25% of the top of their eyes, so only when you "open your eyes wide" do you start to look like so many minis out there. Centering therefore isn't natural.
