The hands look arthritic. Maybe this artist just happens to like cute anime girls with deformed leper hands, maybe that's his thing, maybe it was intended, but it sure doesn't look that way to me. This is how it look to me: hands are tough to draw, many artists have trouble drawing them, this artist is one of them. There's no confidence or intent in that linework. Stylization ultimately is based on understanding of the subject, then intent in the design. Without intent, some kind of apparent logic behind a choice, anything goes. Who's to say some random /beg/ drawing isn't the greatest piece of art ever, because it's stylized? We can go down that path but I don't think anybody really feels that way deep down, there's standards about what looks good.
