SWAT Kats with pupils
I have already posted them on twitter, but I also wanted to share the collage of images I put together where the guys have pupils while they're the SWAT Kats. It was shown in a model sheet that their pupils do appear under certain circumstances, but it only happens once in episode 4 and it's like a "blink and you'll miss it" moment.
I like to think the pupils make them more expressive, others prefer them without the pupils because they're more intimidating that way. I agree with both statements.

The shiny eyes in the upper right corner of the first image are equal parts funny and disturbing.

There was also Razor with heart shaped eyes. XD

Much like your pupil adding, Dark Kat I couldn’t resist doing this:

PFFFFT, I don't think I could put pupils over Razor's heart eyes without it looking extremely weird. xDD
But you do give me ideas for Viper's eyes

Re: SWAT Kats with pupils
Maybe he should have had round pupils instead, but snakes have slits so *shrug*

Interestingly, I think T-Bone having pupils in the second image makes him look more menacing. Gives him a proper "Kubrick stare" look.
It works... but maybe a bit too well.

Re: SWAT Kats with pupils
With the pupils, the line between the salvage yard workers and the heroes is greatly blurred. There's a clear perception that we're just looking at Chance and Jake in disguise. And without the pupils, T-Bone and Razor seem like real alter egos, almost autonomous characters.
My comment doesn't take away the fact that you've done an interesting job. The visibility of the pictures pushes for thinking.
