In 3D, lighting is everything

Consider this stunning figure. Cartoony, but a striking female character, yes?

Then consider this one:


Isn't it just evocative of the handiwork who is unable to make pleasant images of humans, just sardonic charicatures of them?

The main difference is the lighting. In the nice-looking version, the lights are:

 light_source{<000,150,500> rgb 1.5  rotate 60*y shadowless} 
 light_source{<000,100,500>,  rgb 0.3 rotate -60*y shadowless} 
 light_source{<000,100,500>,  rgb 3 rotate -120*y shadowless}

Amazing.
