Critique my marquee art!

[TOK]

I liked the stark black and white one with the single large eye the best. To me, it looks very busy with two eyes.
The one thing I thought would be cool would be an intense splash of color around the "O".

I suck at image editing, so can't really pull off exactly what I'm saying, but did this just to convey my idea. I did blue, but another color that matched the rest of the cab would be great.

Hey Ragnar -

print off the cat eyes photo and ask some folks to read it to you. That'll tell you how others are perceive your art. It's easy to get lost when doing this type of work and before you know it. You make something only you can interpret.

A little artist trick I keep telling people is to squint your eyes when you look at the image, if you can't fully make out the "key details", then you'll need to fix the image to make it more clear.

Have you tried similar, using "Gamesomnia", his other choice?  Would it bring the eyeball more into centre, or throw it all off?

My brother in law is going to try out some ideas for me next week.

I'm going to point him to this thread for inspiration.  With one eye, Gamesomnia will be an option.

I printed out a color version of hte marquee and stuck it on the cabinet and back lit it.  My brother in law actually said he liked it alot.  I like it but don't love it.

So, I ordered it.  I figure that if I don't like it, I can always replace it later.  It's only $25 or so.  No a huge expense given the total project cost.

It's much like the image last posted (and in my signature) but with transparent images of donkey kong and mario in the pupils.
