Soft Eyes
I've always wanted to try to make a good set of eyes. After looking over the sets of eyes I use most from my three favourite artists - Enayla (MTS2), BitzyBus (TSR), and schuldig_seiben (MTS2) - I wasn't terribly surprised to find that they had used very similar proportions of schlera, iris and pupil. The main problem I find with most downloaded sets is that the proportions of the visible part of the iris and pupil are incorrect, usually too small, giving sims a disturbingly pin-eyed look. The sets I was looking at were all ones where I was happy with the proportions of the eye. I then created an eye of my own in Photoshop, using roughly the same proportions, and constructing it in layers so that all I had to do was alter the Hue/Saturation/Lightness of one layer to create different eye colours. And then, of course, I sat there for a while and did just that :) I'm very pleased with the end result, it's the first custom eye I've done since the Toad Eye that I thought was good enough to share with others.
