Eye Style Exploration

Ferni Eye Mood Board

Different eye styles inspired by Pixar characters. Each conveys a different personality. Which one feels most like Ferni?

Round Face Styles (Current Direction)

A1: Current Design

Inspired by: Generic Smiley

Large oval eyes with small pupils. Friendly but perhaps too simplistic — lacks the mechanical charm of WALL-E.

SimpleFriendlyGeneric

A3: EVE Minimal

Inspired by: EVE (WALL-E)

Horizontal oval eyes, no pupils. Ultra-clean and modern. Perhaps too cold for a life coach — EVE starts cold and warms up.

MinimalModernSleekCool

A4: Cyclops Friendly

Inspired by: Luxo Jr. / Mike Wazowski

Single large eye is incredibly expressive but very distinctive. Makes Ferni unique but might feel too "monster-like".

Alternative Shapes

Pixar Character Reference

Key eye design principles from beloved Pixar characters

WALL-E

Binocular-shaped eyes with multiple rings creating depth. Expressiveness comes from tilting and focusing. Mechanical but incredibly warm.

EVE

Simple horizontal ovals, no detail. Emotion conveyed through shape changes (curved = happy, angled = angry). Clean, modern, sleek.

Luxo Jr.

Single lamp "eye" that is the light itself. Proves you can have massive personality with minimal features. Movement is key.

Mike Wazowski

Giant single eye dominates face. Highly expressive through size changes, lid position. Memorable silhouette.

Baymax

Two dots connected by a line. Healthcare aesthetic. Blinking is the main expression. Trust through simplicity.

Joy (Inside Out)

Large eyes with sparkle highlights and colored irises. Maximum emotion and expressiveness. Optimistic, warm, human-like.
