Some kind of haunted tower...

Well, Iīm trying to do a short animation with those green things, and find very difficult to animate the eyelids. As they have no mouth, arms, etc., all the expressions, gestures, feelings and so will be shown through the eyes, so I want to be able to move the eyelids back and forward and from side to side... but sometime they "hide" behind the eye globe, so itīs going to take longer than I thought...

While I solve this Iīm creating some equipment for the soldiers, trying to keep the "cartoon" style. Next weapon should be a sword and maybe a cannon or a crossbow... Another problem is that greenies donīt have hands, so posing them with weapons can be a headache... but itīs funny!  :)

You might want to use morph targets for the eyes.

It looks great, btw

hihosilver:
You can also use bones, but you have to make sure that the pivot point of the bone is directly centered on the eyeballs or they will rotate oddly.  This is the same for eyelids, if you're not using morph targets, the bones for the eyelids should be centered at the center of the eyeball, not the eyelids, so that they rotate around the eyeball nicely.

These guys look great!  It'd be fun to work on a project like this! I love the simple approach.

They sort of make me think of lego-land animation work.

It would be so cool to fix these guys up for animation and have them marching around.

Khaspah:
Thanks for your advices. I think Iīll go for the bones option, only to know its use well before I try morphing anything.

Regards
