[Experiment] Eye Color and Shape Control Test | 13 Conditions, 39 Images

Conclusions First

  • Eye color control is effective. Blue eyes: 3/3, green eyes: 3/3, amber eyes: 3/3 — all showed clear color changes from the control (medium brown)
  • Heterochromia shows color change but left-right difference is unstable. 0/3 showed clear different colors between eyes. The iris tends to shift toward gray-blue tones
  • Eye shape control is limited when japanese is specified. Big round eyes showed slightly rounder eyes in 1/3 images, while narrow almond eyes, droopy eyes, and cat eyes showed clear differences in only 0–1 out of 3 images
  • Removing japanese improves shape control. Switching the subject to actress (without japanese) resulted in big round eyes at 3/3 and cat eyes at 3/3. japanese appears to lock the default eye shape and cancel out shape prompts

Base Prompt

Base Prompt
1girl, 32yo japanese actress, {VARIABLE}, extreme close up of face, eye detail, soft lighting

To focus on eye changes, all images use extreme close up of face, eye detail. One variable at a time is swapped for comparison.

Evaluation Criteria

  • Color change: Does the iris color reflect the prompt instruction?
  • Shape change: Does the eye shape/size reflect the prompt instruction?
  • Side effects: Any unintended changes to skin tone, composition, expression, etc.?

Part A: Eye Color

Testing how well color specifications are reflected. Comparing control (no specification) against 4 color conditions.

A00: Control (no color specified)

A00: Control
1girl, 32yo japanese actress, extreme close up of face, eye detail, soft lighting
seed 1seed 2seed 3
control s1control s2control s3

Observation: All 3 images show medium brown irises. Seed 1 shows a close-up of the left eye with clearly visible brown iris. Seed 2 shows a slightly darker brown left eye. Seed 3 shows a front-facing angle with both eyes visible, both brown. Eye shape is natural single or double eyelid across all seeds, with variation in composition. Skin tone is natural and consistent.

A01: blue eyes

A01: blue eyes
1girl, 32yo japanese actress, blue eyes, extreme close up of face, eye detail, soft lighting
seed 1seed 2seed 3
blue eyes s1blue eyes s2blue eyes s3

Observation: 3/3 images show blue to blue-gray irises. Seed 1 has blue-gray on the outer iris with slight brown remaining near center. Seed 2 shows the clearest blue, with the largest color difference from control. Seed 3 shows blue-gray on the outer iris with some brown mixed in the center. Composition, skin tone, and eye shape remain consistent with control.

A02: green eyes

A02: green eyes
1girl, 32yo japanese actress, green eyes, extreme close up of face, eye detail, soft lighting
seed 1seed 2seed 3
green eyes s1green eyes s2green eyes s3

Observation: 3/3 images show green to olive green irises. Seed 1 has a clearly green iris. Seed 2 also shows olive green clearly different from control’s brown. Seed 3 shows green to hazel-green in both eyes. All 3 show clearly distinguishable color differences from control. No side effects on composition or skin tone.

A03: amber eyes

A03: amber eyes
1girl, 32yo japanese actress, amber eyes, extreme close up of face, eye detail, soft lighting
seed 1seed 2seed 3
amber eyes s1amber eyes s2amber eyes s3

Observation: 3/3 images show bright amber to golden brown irises. Seed 1 shows a noticeably brighter amber with more yellow than the control’s medium brown. Seed 2 is similar. Seed 3 shows both eyes in golden brown, clearly brighter than control. All 3 are visually distinguishable from control, though the hue shift is less dramatic than blue or green eyes — mainly a change in brightness and warmth. No side effects.

A04: heterochromia (odd eyes)

A04: heterochromia
1girl, 32yo japanese actress, heterochromia, extreme close up of face, eye detail, soft lighting
seed 1seed 2seed 3
heterochromia s1heterochromia s2heterochromia s3

Observation: The iris color did change from control — seed 1 shows blue-gray, seed 2 shows gray to purplish brown, seed 3 shows light brown. However, the core heterochromia effect (different colors in each eye) was confirmed in 0/3 images. Seeds 1 and 3 show only one eye, making comparison impossible. Seed 2 shows both eyes but both are gray. Some influence is apparent (color shifted from brown to gray), but the intended left-right color difference was not achieved.

Part A Summary

Blue eyes, green eyes, and amber eyes all showed color change in 3/3 images (9/9 total, 100%). Eye color control works even when combined with japanese actress. Blue and green eyes produce the most visually striking hue changes. Amber is subtler since it’s closer in hue to the default brown, but the brightness and warmth increase is detectable. Heterochromia showed a tendency toward gray tones but the left-right color difference was confirmed in 0/3 images.

Part B: Eye Shape and Size

Testing how well shape and size specifications are reflected. Independent from Part A, with only shape changing from control.

B00: Control (no shape specified)

Same condition as A00.

seed 1seed 2seed 3
control s1control s2control s3

Observation: Same as A00. Medium brown irises, natural single to double eyelid shape.

B01: big round eyes

Observation: Seed 1 shows both eyes with slightly more exposed iris area and rounder shape compared to control. Seed 2 also shows both eyes wide open, though the difference from control seed 3 (also both eyes visible) is minor. Seed 3 is a single-eye close-up similar to control. 1/3 images (seed 1) showed a clear difference from control; the remaining 2 did not. No side effects on iris color.

B02: narrow almond eyes

seed 1seed 2seed 3
narrow almond eyes s1narrow almond eyes s2narrow almond eyes s3

Observation: No clear difference from control in any of the 3 images. The control itself already has a somewhat almond shape, so the additional change from narrow almond eyes was undetectable in 0/3 images. Iris color and skin tone remain similar to control.

B03: droopy eyes

B03: droopy eyes
1girl, 32yo japanese actress, droopy eyes, extreme close up of face, eye detail, soft lighting
seed 1seed 2seed 3

Observation: No clear downward tilt at the outer corners was confirmed in any of the 3 images. Seed 1 may look slightly droopy but remains within the range of angle variation from control seed 1. The droopy eye change was confirmed in 0/3 images. No side effects.

B04: cat eyes (upswept corners)

B04: cat eyes
1girl, 32yo japanese actress, cat eyes, extreme close up of face, eye detail, soft lighting
seed 1seed 2seed 3
cat eyes s1cat eyes s2cat eyes s3

Observation: Seed 1 shows a single eye with a slightly upswept outer corner, but the difference from control seed 1 is minor and could be within angle variation. Seeds 2 and 3 look similar to control. A possible change was observed in 1/3 images (seed 1), but this cannot be stated definitively. No side effects.

Part B Summary

Of the 4 conditions (big round eyes, narrow almond eyes, droopy eyes, cat eyes), clear shape changes were confirmed in only about 1–2 out of 12 total images. Big round eyes showed a slightly more open, rounder shape in seed 1, and cat eyes showed a slight upswept effect in seed 1, but both were limited to 1/3 reproducibility. Narrow almond eyes and droopy eyes showed 0/3 changes. Shape control is dramatically weaker compared to color control (Part A).

Deep Dive: Shape Control Without japanese

The limited effectiveness of shape control in Part B may be because japanese actress strongly locks the default eye shape (single to double eyelid, somewhat almond), overriding shape prompt effects. To test this hypothesis, the subject was changed to 1girl, 32yo actress (without japanese) and the same shape conditions were retested.

Base Prompt (Deep Dive)

Deep Dive Base Prompt
1girl, 32yo actress, {VARIABLE}, extreme close up of face, eye detail, soft lighting

The only difference from Part B is the absence of japanese. Note that seeds 42, 123, 789 were used here — different from Part B seeds.

D00: Control (no shape, no japanese)

D00: Control

control s1control s2control s3

Observation: Even without japanese, all 3 images generated East Asian-looking subjects. Iris color is medium brown, similar to Part B control. Eye shape is natural single to double eyelid, with no major difference from the japanese control. The ethnic appearance of the subject did not significantly change with or without japanese.

D01: big round eyes (no japanese)

Observation: 3/3 images show increased roundness and openness compared to control (D00). Seed 1 has clearly larger exposed iris area with rounder eyes. Seed 2 shows both eyes large and round, the most prominent change. Seed 3 also shows a clearly larger, rounder iris. Compared to Part B’s japanese actress + big round eyes (1/3 change), removing japanese dramatically improved shape control.

D02: narrow almond eyes (no japanese)

Observation: 2/3 images (seeds 2 and 3) show a slightly narrower, more elongated eye shape compared to control (D00). Seed 1 shows minimal difference. Compared to Part B’s japanese actress + narrow almond eyes (0/3 change), improvement is visible, but not as clear as big round eyes or cat eyes. The control itself already tends toward an almond shape, so the additional change from this keyword is small.

Observation: 3/3 images show upswept outer corners and emphasized eyeliner at the outer edges. Seed 1 has a clearly visible black eyeliner flick at the outer corner. Seed 2 also shows an upswept outer corner with emphasized liner. Seed 3 shows both eyes with upswept, elongated outer corners. Compared to Part B’s japanese actress + cat eyes (0–1/3 change), the improvement is dramatic. Note that cat eyes here manifests as emphasized eyeliner (makeup), combined with shape change.

Deep Dive Summary

ConditionPart B (with japanese)Deep Dive (no japanese)
big round eyes1/33/3
narrow almond eyes0/32/3
cat eyes0–1/33/3

Removing japanese improved shape control across all 3 conditions. Especially big round eyes and cat eyes showed changes in all 3 images. japanese appears to lock the eye shape to single/double eyelid, competing with shape prompts. However, even without japanese, the subjects still tend to appear East Asian, so there is a tradeoff between shape control and ethnic appearance.

Summary

  • Eye color control is effective: blue eyes (3/3), green eyes (3/3), amber eyes (3/3) all showed the specified color change. Color control works even with japanese actress
  • Heterochromia is partial: iris tends to shift to gray tones, but the intended left-right color difference was confirmed in 0/3 images
  • Eye shape control varies greatly depending on whether japanese is used: with japanese actress, shape prompts had almost no effect (1–2/12); without japanese, effectiveness improved significantly (8/9)
  • japanese locks eye shape: japanese appears to strongly default to single/double eyelid almond shape, competing with big round eyes and cat eyes
  • Practical recommendations: For eye color changes, simple keywords like blue eyes or green eyes work well. For shape changes, removing japanese improves control, but the effect on the subject’s ethnic appearance must be considered
