This guy, Kees Veenenbos, is mostly known for his Mars renderings (he did some work for NASA). This is his first attempt at the surface of Titan.

Is it so surprising? An awful lot of big mountains on this planet are very craggy (think of all the pictures of everest you have seen). Using those as a basis for mountains where there is less gravity suggests even taller, craggier shapes. And remember, they look dramatic, so in the absence of knowing they are smooth, it seems a good choice.

What about early visualisations of the surface of ice moons? I would guess that a lot of look remarkably like spectacular pictures from our poles, except with the sky full of stars and the local gas giant...
