Eye modeling help?

I’ve recently indulged in Blender for the purpose of giving a game model’s head smoothly blinkable eyes.

Here’s the head in question -

As you can see, the face is merely textured onto the 3d model -

I am unsure of how to create a blinkable eye with Blender. The mouth is movable and has lip vertices; I’ve had no issues creating movements with it.

Someone succeeded in doing it, they posted a showcase video -

The model is a .pmx file, and the head itself is a .x file.
I could put the head up for DL if anyone would like to help me out!

What I’m looking for is a tutorial on how to make the eyes blinkable like in the showcase video.

One way to do it is to have two head models, one with the texture of “eyes open”, the other model with a texture of “eyes closed” - then when it comes time to animate, you hide and unhide each model as needed to create the appearance of a blink.
