Rhino details: to add "eyes" or not?

I'm debating on adding eyes to the mouth n' teeth on my rhino. Think of the A-10 nose art:



I got a spare rhino side I use to test junk out before applying it to the real model. What do you think of eyes being added?





I need feed back on this, so help me out - Yay or Nay?

  1. I'm going to say nay this time. Purely because it makes me think of this http://www.solarnavigator.net/films_movies_actors/cartoons/cartoon_images/finding_nemo_dory_marlin_angler_fish.jpg

    Sorry.
    Ps. make sure to check out the competition I'm running on the badab vets

  2. I kinda like it as a throwback, but I just don't think it ends up working due to the blockish nature of the rhino. If you want I can try photoshoping an eye onto a side pic of my rhino?

  4. I'd say no. The teeth are a nice nod to the chapter 'mascot', but any further than that and I don't think it will look right. I could be wrong, but that's my thinking.

  5. Changing my vote to no. I did a quick cut & paste and it just didn't look good imo. The rhino is too boxy. Maybe focus on using the headlights as eyes?

  6. yeah i think the general consensus is no, so I wont be doing this for rhinos.

    They headlights DO look like eyes once painted!
