I understand what you are saying. I myself do like all styles but realism.. Some people get so in to realism they stop seeing the most simple things. I've had people tell me that the person in my arts build was off.. and it was a NON human character whoms build for some reason they expected would be treated like a humans. My character that would probably upset those types the most would likely be my false angel character named Illiac since his build is made so ANNOYING AS HELL and HARD TO DO! *shakes fist at pretty pretty character* But I do love him.. xD but yes, his build is pretty different then a humans. If its human, even if its humanoid it shouldn't be automatically assumed to have a humans build..
But ya I don't really look down on others art myself, but sometimes I am a bit upset when the feelings I smell off it rub against me the wrong way if I really like it and wanna add it to my favorites. I like a lot of peoples art, when someones skill is still in the beginning stages I don't see crap, I see potential, so long as the persons art hasn't looked exactly the same way for years. I mean isn't every artist including ones self just a constant work in progress?
