"^ OP's point is that facts don't matter. If it looks wrong to him it looks wrong, which is quite true for a subjective topic like appreciation of art."

That... wasn't my point.

My post was in regards to people pointing out diagrams and drawings showing how Intrepid has realistic human proportions, when you take away most of the art.

And yet, the fact of the matter is that the art does in fact exist, and it's the artist's duty to take into account all aspects of what he's drawing like perspective and design, and make it such that the entire thing is coherent and aesthetically pleasing.

It is unfortunately true that even for a shibafu art, Intrepid invokes an unusually particular reaction out of people, and one that's not mostly in the positive. In terms of technical implementation Intrepid is only slightly better from shibafu's usual art - her pose is more dynamic, the detail on her rigging is great, and her face doesn't actually look bad. The problem comes from the execution of a variety of elements as listed in the original post that combine to create the impression of her head being small in relation to her body, which creates a particular effect that unfortunately manages to jump out so jarringly at people that the current majority rejection is the result.

Personally, I'm mostly analyzing Intrepid's art from the perspective of character design art, and not from a human anatomy perspective, and thus why arguments of "perfect human proportions" are something that don't convince me.
