i feel rather similarly... i don't much care for art based on real people, whether it be fanart or, for instance, comics for shows like buffy or stargate... it CAN and IS done well by some artists, particularly when they use the real people as a jumping off point of inspiration and fit the 'look' into their own style, but even comic art of fictional characters that tries to be photorealistic ends up looking ugly to me. =X it's illustrated, plain and simple. it just fit into the artistic universe of illustration, not photography.
