This whole thread has me lolling but I may as well chime in.

Connor's eyes are, I would say, stunning. Perhaps inhumanly so. I dont know if the shade of blue itself is particularly intense, but he does have a very pronounced limbal ring around the iris. I'd swear I had read somewhere (a year or more ago) it's a benign concentration of cholesterol, but I can't find a source to support that right now, and most descriptions I find just refer to it as heavy pigmentation. Anyway... That darker circle around the iris really emphasizes the color within, dividing it from the white of the sclera.

So, in his human form, Connor's eyes are pretty intense. When agitated or highly aroused, shifters and elders both get an unnatural flare to their eyes. For shifters, it's similar to the natural color of their eyes. For elders, it's red. While Connor is a Patron-sponsored character, this is a mechanic I've had since BBN launched.

As for the symbology of anything, most of the characters' names and certain features were chosen to reflect certain traits. I won't go too far into it as I don't want anyone to think I'm putting on airs and see myself as writing the next great American novel or something, but there is some symbolism and I'll let folks draw their own conclusions. I love reading them.

Cheers.

Connor is a beautiful character, and his eyes are lovely. (Although, Connor and Ronan really need to have bigger muscles to match the actual dialogue where at least Ronan is described as having huge muscles, but seems to have a similar build to others, possibly even overshadowed by Seth's buff bod... and just because they're supposed to be big, strong, and scary werewolves. They probably both need more body hair, to emphasise the fact that they are werewolves, too.)

I always appreciate real and fictional guys with ridiculously blue eyes, especially with two obvious shades, or the coloured ring, or a combination of the two. I'd say more of a azure, or turquoise kinda blue rather than a too pale blue that looks kinda white or grey, but that depends on the guy's body and face if it works or not.

You just can't beat beautiful, blue eyes, especially on a beautiful, light skinned or tanned, muscular (and moderately hairy, but in a sexy way, not a gross and haphazard way) adonis, in my opinion.

(Although, angry, glowing red eyes are pretty hawt. 😍)

I really hope that Connor and Ronan can be repeat and reciprocated interests for Alex, as they're both so hawt, plus their rough and ready attitudes, and the idea of a protective and 'obsessive'/'possessive' (in a good way, not a creepy way) mate, is really sexy.

Yeah, I've had a love-hate relationship with muscles in Daz (the software I use to create the images). Folks may remember a scene with Santino when he was bulging out of a badly fitted suit. I have since learned how to fix that issue, but it kept me from going really heavy with the muscles. And, adding a lot of vascularity to a body is another layer of complication. Since I started, there is an asset I could buy and use to add more vascularity to models, but it would change how they appear. Once BBN is finished, I will debate whether to do a remaster and, if so, I'll make some of those tweaks.

Body hair is a long-standing issue with Daz and the subject of many threads over on Discord and among VN creators. I have since found a body hair resource I like, but it wasn't available when I started. That said, there is an in-character reason Ronan is fully shaved and that will be shared eventually. For some of the other characters, it was simply an asset issue.

Cheers!
