Can anyone explain this trend (or if it's actually based on something real?)As far as I know the eye should be convex as it's a sphere...

>>8063705it's called artistic choice my guy. the goal of stabilization is to break the rules that you learned in favor of what feels and looks good to you. Fundies are just your tools.
>>8063705Its just a natural consequence of making your characters eyes/iris essentially so big that unless she has eyes eyes completely wide open in shock the eyes will appear more like rounded squares when they eyes are in their natural relaxed state, and when you translate that to a profile view you get this type of design.Also your exaggerated example you dont give anime artists enough credit. You imply that they draw it completely concave from my analysis in drawing anime they still give it a curve pushing outwards from the top of the eye until it turns into a straight line as it reached towards the bottom eye lid. Its subtle but it prevents it from looking like your bottom pic
>>8063793i didn't find the best example but rozen maiden's anime is full of way more concave eyes...
