But generally I like my animations less un-tooned. Takuan, I think my gut-response is that I shouldn't be attracted to fantasy art. I tell myself that only real humans should make me look and wonder about sex. Jessica Rabbit is hot. Woof! But generally I like my animations less un-tooned.

It seems unnaturally pale gray to me. Homer looks like a clay-mation character, not a person. Mario looks pretty good, though I think his skin tone is a bit off. It seems unnaturally pale gray to me.

I'm really disappointed in some of the reactions I've seen here lately as to artistic expression. Why creepy? The EvPsych explanation would be because they signify disease. For the same reason that children tend to reject playmates who are perceived to be genetically defective. Or women tend to choose men with symmetrical features (asymmetry indicates genetic abnormality). Creepy? Yes. Interesting? Yes.

On the other hand, middle-aged men with uncanny huge eyes, a cap to hide them and a moustache can give that impression I guess. Let’s face it, Mario looks like a pervert.

Break one, you expose the other, so any detailed cartoon character is going to look weird. It's the same trick the Ren & Stimpy cartoons used to use with their "gross out" shots.
