1. Shop out the light reflections, preferably with a smudge tool. Try to preserve the rest of the eye as best you can.
2. 'Fix' the edges and highlights (pupil etc.) to the best of your ability where necessary.
3. Make a duplicate layer, or a new transparent layer. It doesn't really matter which, though with a duplicate, remember to have an alpha channel.
4. Select the area around an eye and fill with gradient of your choice. Then erase the gradient that's outside the eyes proper.
5. Turn the gradient layer opacity down to display some of the highlights within the eyes. Personally I use a rule of 'stronger MC = higher opacity'.
After step 2, you should already have an empty eye of sorts, so steps 3 to 5 are actually optional if you've done a good job. This method can be rather time consuming, I'll admit, but on the other hand you have greater control over the eyes' expressiveness. That, and leaving a little of the pupil visible through the gradient can make the eyes look more natural (it might just be me, but an eye without any highlights is just plain uncanny valley).

I find them sexy. :3
Looks very good, Cradily. AC mentioned the only real error I could spot. TheKinkyFinn basically outlined the way I do empty eyes, myself, so I can vouch for its integrity. Though, I usually stop after the second step, though. I've never tried steps 3-5. I'll have to give that a whirl as well, sometime.

I'm fine as long as there is a "light crescent". Eyes with a solid color fill are where the uncanny valley begins for me. (Especially when it's all black or all white. *ugh*)

*nods* Yeah, I can see that.

Other than a few faint brush-looking likes on the edge of the eye, everything looks pretty nice to me.
Glad you like it. I'll try to pay more attention to that part the next time.
Nothing really wrong with this, but since you asked for other methods, I'll contribute...

Thanks! I'll try your method when I find another picture I feel like manipping =D

Oooh, tell me how that goes (did you use it in the new picture you just uploaded?)

I did not use it in that image, no. I made that particular image a long time ago, but neglected to share it before now. I'm actually trying to expand my horizons beyond empty eyes as of late, so it may be a while before I use the extra steps described by TKF. But with me, one never knows. Even I don't know what I'll do next!
