In the original one, having a sort of teal outline for the highlights makes sense for Fluttershy, but it looks strange on Twilight o~O

I know we should focus on the edit, but all I hear when I look at this is Twilight saying, “Where is your god now?”

Dude, seriously? I’m not having a good day, alright? I just need to calm down for a bit.

@Background Pony #2C58  
Bruh what is wrong with you lol

@cheezedoodle  
True

@Ihhh  
Kind of a moot point for a static image eh?

Whether or not eyes look dead has a lot more to do with how they move and whether or not the pupils dilate then it does with how they reflect light

I’ve been using the traditional solid black pupils with 75% opacity white eye shines and I think it looks good.
 
I think it’s the fact that movie pupils aren’t solid black that makes them look somewhat ‘off’ to some people, like me.
 
Here’s a few examples of my version:  

 
Nobody has mentioned the eyes one way or another.

It wasn’t just the comments, it was the picture and the description. I wasn’t pleased of what they were saying about the eyes. Seriously, I don’t know why they’re going against the eyes, but I think the eyes are fine. They’re just complaining about little things going on towards MLP Movie, and I don’t like that. It’s really starting to make me feel nervous before I get to see it, and that’s not fair. Because I’ve waited so long to see this movie. I wanna be excited to see the movie. I wanna feel the excitement. And I just want to hear the excitement/hype for the movie as well. That’s all I need. Anyways, I completely understand what you mean. And you’re right. sighs sadly I’m sorry. I think I might go lay down for a while, so that way I can relax and calm down.

All right dude, you seriously need to chill on this.  
If other people’s complaints are affecting you so much, you should probably take some time away from these images to get it out of your system.  
Or maybe just not reading the comments.  
I know it can be hard not to let negative opinions affect how you feel sometimes. But big long all-caps posts won’t help that.
 
Just take some time, don’t read the comments on these images. Let the negativity get out of your system.

I prefer the unedited version. The edited version looks too bright compared in the movie style. If I were to make an edit, it’d be removing the blue-ish outline around the shines. I would like a version of this but with different levels of opacity for the shines. Maybe something a little brighter but not totally white would look better than both presented here. Ideally a “game” with a slider and blue outline toggle.

The official ones look almost glazed over or foggy.  
I think the edited ones look better just because they look more like the ones from the show.

I fail to see how the official ones look dead.  
The edited one looks lazier

edited looks better, all the official eyes and art have dead eyes.
