Honestly, you are looking too much into this; I don't like the skin and that's that.

If you're looking for criticism, well, I'd make the cape have vertical lines that flow down the body, instead of across. I'd also try making the cape match in contrast with the blue somehow - probably not possible, maybe use some of the other colors as shadows and highlights?

Thinking of it now, I do like the head and legs to some extent but most of everything else turns me off, especially the cape.
