Why does it look unsettling?

Because it lands in the uncanny valley on purpose: human proportions with clearly non-human surface and eyes. That discomfort is the point of the style rather than a flaw in the result.

Can I make it less extreme?

Lower the intensity and the glaze and eye treatment both pull back toward a stylised but recognisably human portrait. At full strength it commits fully to the doll reading.
