OP

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, definitely should have given examples.


For me -- bags
See Bruce Wayne in Batman Beyond. There's a "bag" or fluids, as anon above you pointed out under his eye. It's usually drawn as a "U" under the eyes. And yeah, it could be argued that's just enhancing or highlighting the shape of the eyeball itself, but it's certainly not as prominent on Terry.

When I think dark circles, I think Shinsou Hitoshi from My Hero Academia.

Aizawa lands somewhere in between depending on if he's tired tired or not.

I mean it mostly bothers me because I have (genetically?) Dark circles under my eyes and I can tell when they're "bags" (if I haven't slept for days!) vs when it's just the normal dark circles (genetics and poor sleep as well, actually even when I rest I still look tired lol). Anyway, it's more of a projection of myself on those characters in terms of what I have worked hard to find personally attractive in myself (dark circles) vs not (bags), so the issue is when people conflate the two, shattering my illusions lol

Re: OP

Yeah, this is exactly what I mean then. I agree that Bruce has straight up bags, and frankly not even particularly dark ones. But Hitoshi has what I would call dark bags, because I think of the little wrinkles are saggy skin. I would say that Aizawa's artist is making a distinction tho, since there's the wrinkles, but also the sinking fat bag the previous commenter was talking about.

Buuuuuuttt, I think I'm coming at this from the opposite of you. My eyes tend toward the skin underneath getting kinda thin and wrinkly/saggy when I'm tired (rather than an obvious fluid or liquid bag, though I have had those too), and people have definitely said I had bags, especially since I don't get dark circles.
