Yesterday:
ratbones: But what if Shen Wei really needs the glasses? The dewy Envoy eyes are all due to eye strain.
me: Obviously he needs a new pair of glasses to go over his mask
ratbones: i do want to see what glasses over mask would look like, though, lmao
me: I...might have to try my hand at that, tomorrow/your today evening
*fastforward through 9 hours of shut-eye and some fiddling with GIMP*
... I was expecting something colossally dorky but he just looks hot. Oh Shen Wei. You should definitely start wearing glasses over the mask!
Then I recalled that last year, I'd promised![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
starandrea to edit a picture of Ye Zun to have realistic blue eyes (instead of the #0000ff surreality of the manip she'd dug out), so I did that as well:
Not quite as happy with this one, but it does look slightly more naturalistic than the original manip. And I got to stare at Ye Zun's face! That's always a bonus. (He does look better with his brown eyes, but I'm not sure how much of that is my insufficient skillz and how much is the fact that 99% of humanity looks better with dark eyes.)
