To be quite frank, it is pretty cool with the shadows and all but more on a kind of eerie level instead of cute.
and yup those are some serious baby blues!

I agree, this is a little on the scary side, rather than being cute. I think that's because the light is coming from below, and we frequently see that type of lighting in horror films (just think back to camping with your friends and putting a flashlight under your chin). I really like the image, though, and those are some great eyes.

Thanks for the comments aribabybug and windrider86. It wasn't my goal to create a cute image so in that way I think I succeeded in creating something special (spooky in this way).
