They Eyes Have It
In my quest to settle on a look for Vahaadi's face, I did a study on his eyes. Down at the bottom I also tried drawing Vahaadi making an expression inspired by Canadian-rainwater 's awesome fanart of Clopin from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame, but...uh...Vahaadi looks WAY weird, so it won't be sticking.

this is really interesting! I love your observations. So your conclusions are to stick with the eyes he usually has?
Sort of, yes, although this has definitely helped me realize that his dropped eyelid-look is way more effective when I'm careful not to overuse it and I emphasize the difference from his normal hooded gaze by drawing his upper eyelid distinctly taller and rounder. His eyeballs do not change size or shape when he's bored or smirking (which is more or less what I've been doing), just the amount of eye that we can see. Before, when I wanted to draw him sneering I would try and draw his eyes narrower but then I'd draw the same straight-lined eyelid right above as usual. Thus his expression actually didn't change at all.
