(Decision made! Thanks again to all who posted their thoughts and opinions! :D)

So I like to dress up my avatars for most of the holidays, and Halloween is by far my favorite!

But I find myself utterly torn between FIVE options with tiny little details that could make all the difference. The eyes.

The avatar is meant to look like a soulless porcelain doll who is possessed by a dark shadow, but I can't really decide which look best gives it that haunted, creepy feel to it. Solid black, white, wobbly black, hollow black, and empty.

I'd like a second opinion (and maybe a third, fourth, fifth, sixth, however many people want to let me know which creeps them out the most!) to make my final decision!



Solid Black:


White:


Wobbly Black:



Hollow Black:




Empty:



I'll likely be coming up with something of a creepy background story for this guy sometime soon, and if the admins don't post up a Scary Story contest like last year I might just post it here. Thanks to everyone who takes a look! And hopefully one of them will stand out as the creepiest! ^^

As an added incentive, I'll throw everyone who posts which they think is creepiest into a randomized raffle for a maxed stats Ny'vene of their choice from my sales stable! :D

(I may do multiple draws if enough people make a vote ^^ )

At 10 votes, 5 have been for the hollow black! Hollow black it is! And just because I have so many Ny'vene anyway... I'm going to give everyone a Ny'vene of their choice from this stable :)

(Pets will be given on first-request, first-serve. Hopefully no two people will want the same one but it's possible. >_>; )

I vote for the white eyes, because their color takes away the eyeshine, making the eyes seem more lifeless.

Empty truly does have a soulless feel, like it is devoid of life and also has a creepy possessed feel. ( Not to mention the empty eyes provide a good contrast to the grey tones in the face and overall has a cohesive look-but it may read as too realistic for the doll like quality you are going for-dolls tend to have eyes that seem disproportionate to the face by being too big or small for the face)

Hollow black for me

I like the white best.

Uhg. I understand your dilemma. Tough choice but I'm going to say hollow black.

He kind of looks like an undead circus ringmaster to me and the hollow black reminds me of a target, something common amongst carnival games and for me I always think of circuses and carnivals together? I dunno... I think it's to do with creepy clowns being at both. Anyways, I like hollow black best, though I almost said solid black. :O

The hollow black eyes best maintain the doll like features while keeping the soulless feel. (:

Best of luck finding one you like!

I'd have to say the Hollow Black eyes are creepiest to me. They feel like they stare into my soul XD I would have said the empty eyes, but they looked too.... human? Not sure that's the right word, but they were taking away from the doll-like illusion for me.

Solid black nearly looks they are bugging our of his head, white seems to blend too much around the nose, empty... meh, I think I would have to say Wobbly Black, as it gives a more "doll face" look.
