Her big eyes ruins the movie for me

Besides the unsatisfied ending, Alita's big eyes is another bad decision. It is not a cartoon but a CGI movie with real people in it. Kitty cats with big eyes are adorable, but "a cyborg girl" with such big eyes is just weird. I was wondering what would she look like if they had made it right. Here is an attempt with my unprofessional photoshop skill:

Which one do you like?

I kinda liked the uncanny valley look. The photoshop one looks weird, although I acknowledge that that might be because it's a photoshop of a photoshop.

"a photoshop of a photoshop"

Haha... My skill has improved a level or two by now.

I wasn't faulting the skill, I was just saying that - to be fair to your argument - it's hard to make a decision based on the photoshop because it can't be easy to take digitally-enlarged eyes and return them to normal without spending a LOT of time. Frankly, you probably have better things to do.

I don't need to spend a LOT of time. My GPU does that for me if you know what I mean.

I know nothing about photoshop. Or, very little, anyway.
