I think there’s more to art than just the technical skill of the artist. I’d say it also includes things like design, storytelling, style, context, and other stuff. A character can still be poorly designed even if the best artist in the world draws it. That design obviously affects the quality of the final piece in how people see, interpret, and react to it.
I’m certainly not putting down the skill of Six - It was a YCH of a pretty unfortunately designed character. It’s just that the character hits a fair amount of the bad OC design tropes.

You did the best you could with what you had to work with, I can respect that.
Just one small thing though, I think the nostrils might be a little low. There’s a lot of empty space above them which looks a little strange.

I don’t think I was being overly negative. They’re uncontroversially bad design choices, and I think it’s worth talking about character design, character tropes, and artistic artifacts of those choices on a site which is largely about art.

Nearly anything can be made to look good if done well, and this is no exception.
