Let me do my little say, 'kay? :3 Since you're asking on oppions on the eyes, I'll do that right away:
V1: Not the best, imo. =/ His eyes aren't balanced. The lines that connec the similar points in both eyes are not parallel. The right (for the picture) eye is to high.
V2:Same as ^, the right eye is still too big compared to the left eye, even regarding the angle you drew it in.
V3 and V4... Sorry to say, but can you hint me on the difference? =/
About the rest of your drawing:
I don't know the Shuro Chara anime, so all I keep thinking about is Meowth. XD
I like the way you shade, it's really smooth. I am learning to gradient shade, but it's not working too well. XD It's still a little cell-shaded.
Maybe, if it's not too much work, you could try to move his mouth more towards the left side? Somehow his face seems a little unbalanced. =/ I don't know for shure though.
Oh, and just a little question... :-/ Why don't you try giving your transformed anime-self 4 fingers? :O I've noticed the shape of the fingers in
this picture is really well done. :O
The difference between V3 and V4 is the coloring of the inside of the cat ears and the shading in the mouth.
V1, V2, and V3 had brown as the inside color of the ears and didn't have very good shading in the mouth.
Yeah, If you didn't know about the Maneki Neko, the thing that Meowth was created from, it would be easy to associate other things based on it to Meowth.
Thanks, I'm glad you like the shading. However, I wish I could cell shade...
I'll try to shift over the mouth sometime while I'm home this weekend. I'm using my laptop here, but I have the full-size Maneki pic on my computer at home.
Why don't I try giving him 4 fingers, or did you mean 5? I know in the Nekoban Ryo pic he appears to have 4 fingers, but he has 5. You just can't see the pinky fingers. I'm glad you like the fingers.
