So I'm getting a new eye

[Kroker]

In a couple weeks' time, I shall be getting a new eye in addition to my usual (normal) prosthetic eye. For this one I can have my own custom design. So basically, I was wondering if any of my fellow Escapists have any good ideas (or maybe even your own designs!) to suggest. As a general idea of what I'm thinking of currently, here are a few images I dug up that I like.

I think you get the point. I'd like to go for something that looks brightly surreal and distinguished, without seeming like an obvious novelty (well, so it looks remotely real). Something inspired by a big blue supernova. Yeah, supernovae are cool right? Not to say the more whacky ideas aren't welcome. Other ideas so far have been a yellow smiley face, an 8-ball, a reptilian eye and an eye in the style of that of the Illusive Man from Mass Effect 2. So c'mon everybody, lemme hear whatcha got.

EDIT: If it helps at all, I have dark brown eyes with dark rings around my irises. Thanks to 'PeePantz' for reminding me that this could be a useful piece of information.

EDIT AGAIN: Another rather nice design.

I am of the feeling that a personalized fake eye can be nothing but novel.

And just go for a Sauron.

My suggestion:

Or you could just get some bad-ass tattoos and sport an eye patch...

Or or, you could head to 4chan to /wg/ (wall papers) and check out some of the creations there...

Wow, never saw this thread coming.

Hmmm, I'd just go David Bowie and get one with a different eye color than your "good" eye.

Also, do you have a picture of your prosthetic eye, so we have a reference point?

 

[voetballeeuw]

Just a bright red eye, scar up that side of your face. BOOM you're a Terminator.

 

[Xlr8DETH]

get the droid phone commercial eye

 

[Broady Brio]

Get a Red eye.

Who doesn't like red eyes?!

 

[Leemaster777]

I'm just gonna say Sharingan before anyone else can, but that's not my suggestion.

Just a bright red eye, scar up that side of your face. BOOM you're a Terminator.

This is the best idea so far.

oh, man. how has no one yet suggested a LASER EYE?
*edit* ok, so laser eye has been sorta ninja'd now...

i wouldn't actually suggest that, i'm just surprised no one else has.

maybe an eye that looks like an open mouth ringed by sharp teeth, like the Corinthian from Sandman?

 

[Souplex]

Get a normal one. People who wear those contacts with designs on them give me the willies.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Make it shoot lasers. And bears.

Ah touché my good man. I shall explain this better so as to avoid looking foolish.

Also, do you have a picture of your prosthetic eye, so we have a reference point?

Not currently, though I shall endeavour to put one up tomorrow. If it helps at all I have dark brown eyes with these dark circles surrounding my irises. In fact, methinks I'll add that to the OP.

 

[OmegaAlucard777]

Go for Illusive Man. That would be awesome.

 

[Sacman]

Get eyes like the illusive man...<.<
or JC Denton...

 

[nolongerhere]

Go for the Illusive Man one. And not just because I'm imagining it as Father Dougal with that eye.

 

[Naheal]

Go with a slightly red version of the illusive man's eyes.

Gogo renegade Shepard!

 

[busterkeatonrules]

If I were in your situation, I'd just have a perfectly plain ball made - but from an interesting material.

For example, labradorite!

The one I left there gets my vote.

As a point of interest, would you not be able to get a "normal" lens and then just use those custom contact lenses? That way you're not stuck with one design.
