it doesnt make sense to standardise npc eye shapes

[fallen zenith]

the various minecraft skin eye shapes (1x2, 2x2, 2x1, 3x3, are all useful for differentiating facial features and expressions.
I understand that eyes were standardised to 1x2 to maintain a consistent aesthetic, but i think the other eye sizes if used sparingly can make npcs appear more personable, without compromising the art style that wynn is going for

irl people have different sized eyes, minecraft people can too

[tacit sigil]

the 2x2 eye usually doesnt leave room for a mouth

[white zealot]

Both jofash and fruma have different eye proportions what are you on about

[gloomy onyx]

I mean, the class skins

[karmic rivet]

Who said that's bad. Some skins missing a mouth is just another differentiating facial feature. I personally never even noticed that mouths are missing. What's more important imo is eye color (and hair but that's kinda of another layer)

those are glasses

[orchid grove]

yea i agree

[gritty heath]

That's not a bad thing, its just a stylisation choice. Like anime styles not including a nose n stuff.

[fallen zenith]

well to be fair its not like wynn's npc skins have animated mouths. they only reason they're drawn in the skin is a style choice

[brittle crown]

mouths are ugly anyways

grian's skin doesnt have a mouth and it is peak anyways

[orchid grove]

mouths just look kinda weird in mc skins imo. it’s fine sometimes but i don’t think that every new skin should be one style

[gritty heath]

Main reason I'd say mouths dont really work because of the pixel size, mouths usually arent that thick and also have some level of curvature which just isnt expressed either, and you end up with a very neutral expression

[lofty lichen]

True I don't think adding mouths justifies taking so much personality

For us humans most emotions come in the eyes, but there's only so much you can do with 1x3 mouths

[orchid grove]

this basically

[stray marsh]

there's some NPCs with 2x2 eyes

qira has 2x2. That's not going to change.

Most normal civilians and stuff are gonna have 2x1 though.

This feedback is just what's already done. other eye sizes are used.

[orchid grove]

i think where people are coming from is that most, if not all, of the recently added/changed skins have 2x1 eyes so it's safe to assume that other new skins will be too. consistency is nice sometimes but if every normal civilian or minor quest npc has 2x1 eyes it's gonna make them all look the same

[gloomy onyx]

1x3?

[gritty heath]

A pixel tall 3 wide

[gloomy onyx]

How does that work

[stray marsh]

Pupil in the middle (fits more alien or unnatural things)

or sclera, iris, and pupil

[gloomy onyx]

No I meant the mouth thing
Do they mean like a lopsided one

Since Minecraft heads don’t have a center pixel
