Hey Suiters.
I'm building my first fursuit, thanks to the wonderful website Matrices.net .. Granted there's a bit of Artistic liscence involved due to A) species difference between Matrices and Rianith XD and b) the instructions aren't 100% but more like guidelines.

The only real area I'm having problems is figuring out how to do the eyes.

I want to avoid the Periferial Vision Issue that comes with doing normal "cartoon eyes" that most fursuits have, and that Matrices.net suggests. I know I'm probably going to still need a "Handler" but I want to make eyes that aren't as Tunnel Visioned.

Snapai on Furaffinity is useing Sunglasse lenses, and I though that would be a cool idea, but my Fursona isn't a dragon, like his. It's a Jackal.

Any suggestions?

Well, you could do similar, but with a round cutout, instead of a slit. It'd be harder to cut, but you'd get approximately the same effect.

You might also be able to find window tinting the color(s) you're looking for, then just use safety glass lenses, or clear plastic bowls, to do the eyes. Dunno if they make any "white tint" available tho

I don't believe they do--after all, transparent white is clear.

I remember reading somewhere that because of that, every time an actor wears those white-out no pupils contacts, most especially the scleral ones (the ones that cover the entire eye, not just the iris and pupil), they're working completely blind.
