Ha, hano, I didn't, but I can see why some people did. He has a very unique, unusual design. The leanness and long hair and even the outfit could suggest a woman at first.
Fans have compared him to Bowie, too. xD He's reclusive, reserved, withdrawn, etc., so I suppose he could come across as being a bit 'creepy.' Fans have also theorized that his "makeup" could be any number of thingsfish-like markings given to him by Granmamare once he married her and took up residence undersea, ones he developed naturally due to water pressure, ones he applies to himself to show his kinship with sea creatures because he is different from other humansetc.
"If you don't have anything nice to saycome sit by me!"

Yeah, but what did it for me was that it looked like he had on makeup
