I can recognize each and every one of the characters that those blocks of simple colors represent. That is admirable in and of itself. It's not just "neat" it's part of what makes those characters well designed.

Surprised no one has posted anything from Pokemon yet. Lots of great designs there.
You think all of those are good character designs?

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?

The strongest character design in the series, easily. The color scheme and streamlined but distinct look worked so well. Aveline was a close second though.
I disagree . Aveline is the BEST design in the creed franchise..
Like , everyone is so far behind ..Such a shame they used their best story and best ideas on an entry most didn't play with such limited scope.
Wtf you guys, how did it take 165 posts to get to the obviously objectively correct answer???Recently it's 2B.
I'm a big fan of the official Blizzard art. Sylvanas looks dope.
Sylvanas and Hsien Ko were great answers, and swell undead ladies.

Other thread has people keep saying "Japanese artists the thread" and yet this thread is almost exclusively Japanese designs too.
I guess that just boils down to Japanese character designs being more memorable and a sort of high risk/high reward design philosophy in Japanese designs.

Yes! I spent so much time drawing EJ when I was in middle school cause I thought he was so cool. And I was never much of an artist but with tons of practice I got pretty decent at drawing him.

Pretty great design, but I feel that Darth Nihils from KOTOR 2 looks ethereal and really nails the sense that he's a force of nature more than just a person in body armour.
My second option is Kreia from KOTOR 2. While at first glance it's rather plain, she's one of the best written characters of all time, and the more you interact with her, the more the design gains depth in small touches that were added.

There's a lot of character designs that I love, because I love a lot of characters in video games.
The BEST one for me though...every time I think about my favorite designs, I always come back to Sweet Tooth's modern design from Twisted Metal:
I don't think there's any other character that I see where if his design is in a game, it makes me want to play that game. I already really like clowns, and Sweet Tooth to me has hands down the best design of any clown in video games. It's menacing, it stands out, and I just think it's damn cool.

Well dmc 2 dante still better
Also my favorite! I really dislike the dissidia designs though and think they look pretty bad. Original is best, and KH versions are okay. I also really like the SeeD uniform.

Really like it when female warriors are depicted in plausible combat attire.
This right here is my favorite example.
Some other ones.
Dame Ravness from Tactics Ogre
Agrias from FFT
Shanoa from OoC
Chris from Suikoden 3 has always been a favorite of mine.

Some really cool posts so far. Some obscure ones that I'd intended to post, but pleasantly surprised that they'd already been posted
Although, .. I dunno how 5+ pages have gone by without

This is a tough category, because a lot of older stuff is harder to see, but for me this is the answer. Still incredible.
My First choice. SOTN alucard for sure

Punished Noctis with raiment from FFXV:
The best.
I agree with this due to emotional value. The transformation into this is what got me.
This ranks highest on my list design and lore wise. Every Witcher outfit looks unique and has a reason for looking that way. A school that determines way of thinking and fighting style. Giving the impression that Geralt has mastered them all.

I hate this designs simply because of the 5 year old joke of the COCKpit
Yesss
