Silver Surfer: The Eyes

[Advanced Dark]

Do prefer the pic with the pupils (first released) or without (official site)?

No pupils:

Or Pupils vvv

 

[lordofthenerds]

Have to say that I like him without pupils more. Hopefully Story will tell us what the deal is.

 

[Excel]

theres a dif?

 

[Advanced Dark]

I honestly don't care. I guess when the trailer comes out online we can take a look at the stills to see what they went with...of course it could still be changed. I really liked both pics.

Edit: They eyelashes are gone on the "official site" pic too.

 

[Fantastic-Boy]

I don't care too!

 

[Advanced Dark]

I'm curious so I sent a message to Doug Jones and Tim Story and I'll also ask Doug on the 28th at the ArcLight. I'm pretty sure the effects are not even close to being done so it could go either way.

 

[TheShadowCat]

Do we have the option of "I couldn't care less"? I think SS looks incredible with or without the pupils.

AD, you're more likely to get an answer on the 28th than you will by email right now. Dougie just got home on Monday and is probably still winding down from the shoot plus with Christmas in a few days, he's probably really busy with that. From what I understand, he also has the Hellboy 2 script to go through as well. Have fun on the 28th and you better bring some Kleenex with you.

[Caliber]

Looks like Sliver Surfer to me either way.

 

[Nokio]

Doesn't matter to me, but I would go with the non pupil, but the eyes makes him appear more human. Either way is fine.

 

[LadyVader]

With pupils I say. Better/more realistic expressions. But he definetely does not need eyelashes.

 

[Mr. Credible]

i think it'd be hard to do him without pupils... it looks a little cooler, sure, but it'd be weird to see him interact with stuff/people. he'd look blind, i would think.

either way, he looks great.

 

[Psionic Force]

I prefer him with... you can get more emotion from them.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Look at the 2nd pic above. Those eyes look damn real. I'll betcha those are really Doug's eyes.

 

[LEX]

I liked the one with him sans pupils better, but now that I see him with pupils up close, I couldn't care less if they go with it. Either way is fine with me, as long as he still has his shiny surfboard and silver look.

 

[Sarg92]

The image with no pupils is much more closer to how he looks in the comics.

With pupils, he looks too human.

Eyes show emotion but Galactus took all emotion out of the Silver Surfer so with no pupils, you get no emotion.

 

[TheShadowCat]

Look at the 2nd pic above. Those eyes look damn real. I'll betcha those are really Doug's eyes.

The color is about right so it could be.

[Sentinel X]

i like the pupils.Even though pupils are usually an human feature...they look very cold and inhuman on him.

 

[Omega214]

Though isnt this silver surfer meant to be a human trapped in the silver coating?

i like the pupils, they look emotionally and graphically amazing

 

[liesse00]

I like the pupils

 

[Atomicchuck3k]

Without, it gives the surfer a more alien feel and makes him look more bad ass. You get emotions from the brow not the pupils. Besides, pupils make him seem to be from earth.

 

[Mr. Marko]

I like the pupils, it gives him more mood. It seems like this movie could improve on the last one! YES! Havn't seen much about Doom though.

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

No question, the one without pupils is more faithful to the original design and gives him the detached, alien look that's key to his character.

I hope they at least start without the pupils and then he could gain them when he defies Galactus, or some other key point at which his character becomes more "human" (it could be cool if they tie it in to Alicia).

When we get the trailer online, we should be able to get a screen-cap when he's looking at Johnny and see what they look like there.

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

It looks like he has the pupils here:

 

[CConn]

The one with pupils. Honestly, I never realized how much a pupils can play in defining a face. It just makes him look alive rather than just a big silver statue.

People have to remember, this is live action, not a comic book. The images you see in the books, no matter how realistic they are, are still cartoons.
