I'm thinking of going with plastic domes for my eyes. I've never been perfectly happy with my eyes and it's a design I've never tried before. The simplest design is solid black, which is more or less what crow and rat eyes look like but not jackdaw eyes. I'm not sure how it'll work with ventilation and fogging.

For shaping I think I can manage to get the eyes pointing kinda sideways and still have the forward part that I'd actually be looking through have low obliquity to minimize the optical distortion. I'm already expecting to have to set the forward part of the face a little forward of my face. If all else fails I can do the tear duct thing.

Anyone know if it's possible to put a tint on clear acrylic? I found a source on transparent hemispheres in the right size.
