Is This Picture Pretty/Cute?

After a slight disagreement with a friend, I want to know other people's opinions.Anyone find this picture Cute or Pretty...? If so, please also comment hy below, if not, also say why. (Geo, let them comment on it, but only comment on what I said, if they comment between themselves and I don't see it, you can remove it)

Kinda weird looking, but not ugly.

Undecided. At a quick glance it's "Yuck."
Then, after another second of studying, it's. "Wait. What was wrong with it again..?"

OH GOD.

What -is- that thing? What's with all the fish-bait in it's ears?
YUCK.

No.

Ew, no.

It looks like some hippie/elf cross breed that needs to be taken behind the shed with the 20 gauge.

The initial "Yuck" reaction comes from the eyes, since that's the first thing we really look at--It's similar to an "alien", and the eyes' shape quickly makes the noise look deformed and long--A quick glance, that is.

Least, that's my analysis

Yeah, the picture looks distorted, somehow.

Exactly.

If The Eyes Were Like, 'Normal' It'd Probaly Be Fine.

One whole ridge of the left side of the face is way up than the other side. The left eye is far higher and far more slanted than the left, it also has a more pronounced apex, and the right has a lower eyelid. Left eyebrow has a higher curve and is different than right, nose bridge isn't symetrical and is tilted right, mouth is tilted left. Chin isn't aligned with face, and is slanted right, it's also far short. Left ear is both bigger, less angled and different shaped.

But even with all that, it's a pretty picture. The shadowing is done pretty nicely, and the color palette gives it a vivid air.

The details on the character make me think that the author was attempting to make an expression and simply moved too many muscles on the face. That or was purposely made as to show a more "real" elf.

In other words, yes, in it's own way.
