The question comes down to what you are doing with your art?

Advertising? A book cover? Poster to sell a product? think advertising companies. The people they typically use are not ugly, homely, etc.

In the galleries here, illustrate a story then vareity is what works and you need homely plan janes to make it work. That said illustrate a story for the place you can't mention here with a 50 year old looking V4 is not the fantasty character that is going to draw in readers.

In my opinion each has it place depending on the project at hand and the target you are trying to reach.
