So you may notice a little bit of a difference with Chase, and I would like any input you guys may have, and that is if you like his eyes being darker shown above? Just trying out a few new things

I thought the darker eyes was chase turning to the dark side cause of the cardigan

When the small, fuzzy monster looks down on you, its time to shed the cardigan.

I’m more partial to the brown eyes that you’ve been doing, but then again I’ve become adjusted to them, I don’t know the dark eyes almost give it like a Mickey Mouse feel I guess that’s what I thought of when I noticed it haha. I didn’t realize anyone could understand Monty

thanks P. Kelly, I’m not sure how I want to make those eyes yet, and Chase is the only one who can understand Monty (besides animals) but that is a story for another day Thanks for input!

What vastness the word skee has. one simple shout can mean a simple “no” all the way to “STOP SMOKING CRACK DAMN YOU”, except in cardigan form. truly an amazing word

Loving the black eyes for the panel above when he’s looking so desperate, but I adore the brown eyes usually.

Probably because I have brown eyes. I’m partial.

I’m not allowed within 15feet of a cardigan any more. It’s what happens.

browwwwwwwwwwn eyes please. (unless chase is possesed, in which case, jet black eyes are fine, as they represent the evil inside )

Dammit, Monty! He’s a doctor, not an addict!

I like brown eyes, they’re just very much a warm colour and makes Chase’s features look a lot softer. The jet black eyes seem a bit too cold and harsh and not really that suitable for Chase. However, like these other kids are saying, jet black eyes are the way to go for demonic possession (check out Supernatural if you want to see demonic possessions in the realm of fiction).

For me black eyes does not work for a few resaon:
1/ it’s the color (black + white pupils) that you used for animals, and then it creates a gap between him and the rest of the humanity that is not needed, because, since he seems softer with brown eyes, his goofiness and weirdness works better than with cold dark eyes (same paradigm as for the whites vest )
2/ the dark eyes emphasize too much the expression lines under the eyes, which besome the single spot of his emotions once you can’t work on shadows in the eye itself
3/ while you could work on the form of the cheeks and of the eye for the animals, the need to recognize the human head form to get what mc cloud would call identification (I’m not sure of the proper word, I read it in french) to the character which only permits the inference of emotions from the reader to the character, this need to have a “neutral” form doesn’t really allow you to make Chase the contorsions that make animals and monsters funny and still emotion-proper.

I hope my hieratic english does not endammaged too much what I wanted to point out, once again, it’s not my mothertongue, and not even the language I learned at school.

I agree but je suis un putain de cuistre malgré moi. (I translate, I’m a fucking pedant)

I also wanted to make a note for Motokool. I’m really in love with this intensity and darker colors… I think Jervis’ eyes in particular really help the horrifying mood you’re doing. I love the style. Keep it up!

*Jarvis, sorry

oblivionjones

I forgot his name was Jarvis (choke!) JAR-vissss…sorry haha you can smack me. I really do love Motokool, especially the latest update, and I can’t wait to see what “goes down” soon.

I prefer the darker eyes to the lighter eyes.

The darker eyes are nice, but I think I’d have to toss my vote for the lighter eyes, definitely.

I want the artist to have my babies

Indeed sir, you are just a whore. For class that is.

sagocha

Very well put, a whore indeed.

I may be mimicking, but I like the brown eyes, as well. He can’t be as ridiculous and lovable with harsh black eyes. It’s a little too Heathcliffe from the Wuthering Heights. As far as I know in literature they always give the “bad guy” or at least “unlikeable” guy dark eyes and sharp features. Chase is too naive and sweet for that. I know he’s not really naive, but I just like to think of him as being innocent and in need of backup. Like why won’t they just let him wear his cardigan and be happy? It breaks my heart haha
