Make more styles of eyes?  \(=^-ω-^=)/
Then it won't always look the same

I always see different, cooler/cuter eyes when I watch anime/view cover illustrations/etc. so my style isn't static, it's kind of hundreds of styles put in one.
Recently, I've really been interested in Accel World's Chiyuri Kurashima's eyes. The use of a dark shade of the iris colour for the surrounding cornea (instead of default black) gives a good effect in my opinion. They still use the double light and dark 'U' though, which I've honestly loved since it first started appearing around 2005.
Here's a pic of Chiyuri: 2.bp.blogspot.com/-s_wQfo4_0Xk…

Ooooh the eye style is quite unique *u* I really love the shinyness in Chitanda's eyes from Hyouka; 1-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/bo…
That was probably the reason why I started to make my eyes so much more shiny xD

Yeah I started out with a style similar to yours which I found in a eye tutorial, except it used light shades of the iris colour instead of the snowy-white. I once read a guide which explained lighting, and that everything in the vicinity of reflected, or in the path of refracted light would have a tinge of that colour added to it. While the eye's moisture doesn't seem to reflect different coloured light, I just find that having a slight hint of colour in the shiny parts makes it look shinier and either cuter or interesting (I can't tell since it's always female characters with these kinds of eyes, and they're already cute) o(*゚▽゚*)o
