Well, there may be a nearly 50/50 split there hornet ;). I'm one of the ones in the realism camp. Despise toons and comic book characters myself for the most part, even if I can appreciate the artistic nature of them ;). I'd like to see more realistic figures myself, but I wouldn't wanna be on the committee to decide what a "proper" face is. What IS a proper face when something that looks good to you may not look good to the next guy?. I think we're all better off deciding for yourselves what proper faces are. It's just that most Poser users are hobbiests and don't get into the nitty gritty of modeling, rigging or texturing, so the "realistic" decision is sort of being made for those ppl thru the market. Of course, if you don't like you don't have to buy, but then you'll have to learn now to do it yourself ;). It's the way the world works really, in all things. LOL

Edit: having said all that, I reserve my right to critique, even if it's not favorable to the artist...lol. I've actually learned some things from the things I did that ppl hated the most ;).
