Kerbal eyebrows [Ridiculous but might just work]

[Krullarikas]

I've been asking myself a very certain question numerable times that it's not even funny anymore.

"How to do we make Kerbals look more awesome". Then it hit me, well I think the more appropriate phrase would be - It Lithobreaked itself into my brain.

As all of you people know that the majority of life's numerous problems can be solved with one easy solution, and that solution is just slapping a pair of eyebrows on said problems and calling it a day.

This looks...odd. And very Spock. But for some reason...yeah, eyebrows improved the look. Huh.

Add a goatee, too.

Heroic sideburns FTW!

Hmmm, I don't know.
I feel I find the eyebrows on Kerbals to look as weird as a human without them.

I wish I had sideburns...
 

[Brainlord Mesomorph]

nope, I like them looking like string beans with googly-eyes stuck on them.

Mustache for the win!

Am i the only one thinking that kerbals should have unibrows?

[Mr. Scruffy]

I guess the point of the OP is that with the simple addition of eyebrows, it is possible to very strongly convey emotions on the kerbal faces in a very simple way.

I am not sure, though, if the game does that already to just the right extent and if adding eyebrows might not be overdoing it (remember that not only the expressions would have to be coded, but also their causes!). There´s only so many emotions the game needs to convey via the kerbal faces, after all. But if the Kerbals are ever to migrate to other games or media (like, say a TV-cartoon show or a "muppet"-movie) eyebrows would take them a long way. Imagine Bert from the Sesamestreet had no eyebrows - Ernie´s shenanigans would not be half as amusing. But if it ever comes to that, eyebrows could still be added for that purpose - it´d be a small change compared to what the klingons had to go through (and some excuse could be made up, like kerbonauts shaving them off for aerodynamic reasons in case of unplanned disassembly of the craft, or some outdated fashion-fad, or something equally silly).

I think eyelids could do a lot for emotion and not look so...weird. (Actually they look odd without their helmets and their hair is showing IMO,  at least the male ones. I see them as being hairless generally) At the same time, I love their simplicity of design and have grown quite fond of them

They've been without eyelids from the start, so, suddenly having eyelids would be strange.

They're aliens anyway...
