I can tolerate "stylized" and "idealized reality" in comic books, but not in 3D. It's the same as photoshopped magazine covers made by pretentious "art directors" that try to trick people into believing the model on the cover would actually look that way in real life. Either do outright toons, or do realism, but don't mix the two. It's different in comic books because there the "2D" adds a layer of stylization even if the item is depicted in a "photorealistic" manner with accurate details, proportions and dimensions. Love the old "Belgian school" where characters are decidedly "toonish" but the background is very realistic. But it is too easy to lie in 3D. People are already manipulated and lied to by advertising. I don't want Poser or 3D in general to add to that by promoting just another instance of an "unobtainable reality". That doesn't mean I don't want (some, most) of my figures to be "perfect specimens", so to say. I just can't stand any attempt of manipulation.
