I'd have to disagree, I don't know about anyone else but wall eyed or cross eyed critters look kind of bizarre to me but I've seen others overlook it and gush about how great a piece of art they got was when the character has eyes looking in two different directions, or even some pretty awkward anatomy.

Not that that is any excuse to produce poor work but it's a case of an artist as a customer notices these things, non-artists? Not so much.
