The picture on this page is just some poor-quality MS Paint drawings. There's no context, and the work is just lazy. Look at all those examples surely one of them would yield something better.

Edit: since I can't figure out how to fix the link at the top: here's the article.

First of all you're gonna want to fix your article link. Second, "I don't like the art style" is not a valid reason. HOWEVER, this IS a poor image because it doesn't fully show the trope. There's no victim portrayed under the influence of mind control.

Motion to pull.

Fixed the title for you. Please read this post before you make another thread. That said, this is not a good image.

Edit: It's that little piece of paper with the plus right above the first post that lets you change the page link. Remember to type the trope name in CamelCase.

[down] Yeah, we told that person that it's not a valid criterion somewhere in the thread, I believe.

Sorry, I got confused by another thread where OP brought up that the art was lazy.

Should this be merged with Hypnotic Eyes? The difference in meaning is an extremely fine distinction.

Not really. One is a visualization of someone being hypnotized, the other is a set of eyes with a specific quality.

I'm okay with this, I believe it's actually something someone drew up for us.

Oh! The caption confused me, sorry. Improve that instead?

This imo needs a multipanel picture of the different forms from the Dull Eyes of Unhappiness look (the Anime standard), Glowy Eyes, Swirly Eyes etc.

I guess my issue is more that we are dedicated to cataloging media, and should go with something created by a third party, not something homebrew. I think Raso's idea in post 33 would be a good idea, and I would be willing to assemble it tomorrow.

Two cents: homebrew or "real life" images are appropriate only if there is nothing better from a published work.

Four cents: I think the subject in this image should clearly be a victim of mind control.

Since it seems the image should be about the victim of mind control, how about this?

Oh...but she has the eyes. I guess if you can't really see it, it doesn't work. >.<

Maybe two pics with "before mind control and after" would be better?

There are so many ways "Mind control" can be portrayed in the eyes we might want to just make a collage.

Alternative suggestion: fifth and eighth frame of this comic.
