In all honesty I'm surprised we DIDN'T get this as an eye type on valentine's day, so here's a proposition!
A heart-shaped eye type for Valentine's day! I think it would work well as a brewable item, probably somewhat lower level. Seeing as the other baldwin eye type, dark sclera, has more of a 'creepy' vibe it'd be nice to get one that has more of a 'cute' kinda vibe. My first thought was that like other Valentine's items it'd be exclusive, but I did a bit more thinking. Dark sclera was released around Halloween, but is a permanent item. I think Heart would work well in a similar way; introduce it around Valentine's, but it's a permanent eye type. I think it'd make the two items a nice contrasting pair.
The biggest con I can see is that, as with a lot of eye types, it wouldn't be very visible on certain dragons (aka most small-eyed adults). Considering the fact this applies to basically every eyetype that stays within the eye lineart (including dark sclera) I don't think this is a con specific to this eye type.
I did do a quick 5-minute mockup. Not sure if they look better with or without the pupil. I'll definitely toy around with this a bit more later on and try to get some really solid mock-ups done, but I think this gets the general premise across.
Version 3.0. Heart-shaped pupils too. I think this really ups that whole over the top cute look this eye type should be going for, and makes it match far better. Probably my favourite of the 3 versions so farplus it's better drawn
and yeah. its not the best on adults
If you've got any idea for what the brew would require I'd love to hear it, and I'd love to see a different take on what the eye type could look like. What's above is just the first take on it that came to mind!
