I like the first set of eyes the best as well. As stated above, the sketchy outlines of faces seem to be done in the manga style, thus the non-manga eyes look rather odd (and zombified, like AVEM mentioned.) I think you can get away with the second set of eyes if you're drawing in more of a shounen ...

Hi, sorry for the late reply...

I'm in NYC and would love to do a get together, but not before the new year. I'll be out of the city until early January. Let me know if you're planning on doing something in 2007. I'll try to be there. ^^
