I need some eye animations for an electronics project I'm working on. Specifically I need simple animations of a pair of eyes looking left, right, and blinking. To get a feel for the effect I'm looking for check out this: https://learn.adafruit.com/animated-electronic-eyes-using-teensy-3-1/overview

My target format is an LED grid for each eye (specifically: https://www.adafruit.com/products/3162). This has 9x16 pixels - monochrome! - and is capable of displaying each pixel with 128 grades of brightness. Hence I think a cartoon style would be most effective - but I'm open to suggestions!

My plan would be to start with one style and simple animations. I'm happy to pay up to $25/30 per hour (though I'd need some guidance on how many hours this piece of work would take). If I find something I like I'd be happy to commission a couple of alternative styles and more varied animations.

No strict timelines but this is a small project so I'd expect it a draft at least within a week.

If you have any questions / need any clarifications please ask!

What kind of feel are you aiming for? Creepy eyes, cute eyes, intimidating eyes?

This sounds like about a two-hour project (maybe three if you want the two eyes to be discernibly unique rather than flipped versions of each other), and I'd be happy to do it! Here are a couple of sample eyes with no particular feel/aim in 5 colours each:

You mentioned you think a cartoon style would be most effective, but the wide proportions seem more suited to more realistic eyes to me.
