Just tried doing a quick paintover with solid black, and it looks much better (though I’m still trapped a bit in “cannot unsee” territory). The issue is that the image is combining a common cylindrical shading technique with a vaguely cylindrical shape, making my mind scream “cylinder”. Getting rid of the shading blocks that association. Another hack to try is changing the white to something that isn’t the same color as the background, so it doesn’t look like a transparency.

Hey, wait a moment… Is this actually supposed to be a (new) Changeling Wife and not Pistachio like I assumed? Cause that would explain you changing the eye style.
Ah, but that’s where you’re wrong my buggy friend! I would hug the living daylights out of you if I could, regardless of if you were a changeling or not. As you totally are not. In fact, if you were a changeling, that would just urge me to hug you tighter and give you all the love you could consume! Shame that you aren’t a changeling, though. Truly.

I saw at least two other users mention the same thing, in detail, on a different image, so that leads me to think that it must have been a real spoiler.
thats new…
I was wondering where Daisy was.

Maybe this will help.

Do you mind if I use elements of your artstyle?
I think it’s just one of those things you can’t unsee once you’ve noticed it. Still a cute bug wife though.
Yeah, it looks like she has literal holes in her head. It’s… horrifying, to say the least.
That’s not even how tjpones drew their eyes before, so I can’t associate it with those.
Gradients are a horrifying thing when used improperly.

Oh well. It’s in the past now.

Oh crap I thought everybody thought I would be kidding. I guess I’ll do that next time. SORRY FOR RUINING YOUR DAY WITH PONIES
And also you know what I wish I could edit that last post but GUESS WHAT I CAN’T SO OH WELL
Edited
Could you please hide your spoilers next time?
Some of us don’t want to browse this site and see spoiler comments on irrelevant images.
Thanks.
