Title says it all.

My pic:

Lara Croft from TR2, I'm pretty sure this costume design changed the way I view video game character design.

Original idea for a thread. Think we have the contrasting thread on the front page too.
Cool

commander video is pretty good

Midna's true form is also pretty fantastic.

Link.%28Breath.of.the.Wild%29.full.2009958.jpg

Best Link design along with Toon Link.

Spudnik Sweetheart · Apr 28, 2017

I always really like Ace Attorney as an example for good character designs. I think Dick Gumshoe is probably my favorite.

It's pretty easy to infer things from his design. He wears a tie so he should be formal, but the top button not being done shows he can't keep up the facade. The unshaven beard kinda suggests he hasn't been able to rest for a while. The trenchcoat and pencil kinda imply detective. The plaster shows he's both goofy and clumsy as well as hardworking, or willing to take a fall for the job. He may not work as a main character since his design wouldn't work for being iconic, but as a side character I've always really liked his design.

Miles Edgeworth and Phoenix also work as good examples imo.

I'm on a OW kick so I'm biased but Roadhog from Overwatch

The gun holster on his back is also a pig
He's kawaii

PapaEmeritus · Apr 28, 2017

This is a tough category, because a lot of older stuff is harder to see, but for me this is the answer. Still incredible.

Betty · Apr 28, 2017

/\ Roadhog is my husbando, love his design

Naked Snake & The Boss, though I prefer Boss when her suit's zipped up.

Correctomundo · Apr 28, 2017

I enjoy how the worst design thread is filled with serious replies, but there's a few sarcastic ones in this.

They better be sarcastic.

Cool drunk detective-guy Seabass from The Evil Within. Whatever you say about the game itself, he's pretty fly

the-evil-within-the-keeper-and-sebastian-castellanos-wallpaper.jpg

He still looks good without it, but too bad there wasn't an option to get the trenchoat back.

Speaking of cool-jacket-losing...!

j.rob · Apr 28, 2017

DK and Diddy are timeless in my opinion.

hughesta · Apr 28, 2017

yeah RE4 Lion (in jacket) is probably the best ever.

It's a very summerish design with open clothes and lots of personality to it, i like it.

It still amazes me how well Team Sora pulled off this Megaman. Beautiful.

cubicle47b · Apr 28, 2017

Robo is probably my second favorite from Chrono Trigger. The whole cast is great, though. Dragon Quest enemies. A lot of Final Fantasy Tactics characters. Breath of the Wild and WInd Waker Link are also brilliant designs.

Jawbreaker · Apr 28, 2017

Lady Maria from Bloodborne.

wuth · Apr 28, 2017

cubicle47b said:

That whole cast, honestly...

Otakumegane · Apr 28, 2017

Absolute shame that this didn't end up being the final design.

Hoo-doo · Apr 28, 2017

I love everything about the Persona 5 character designs.

The Battle Maidens of Valkyrie Profile.

There are others for me that hit the right notes as well but these were the first that came to mind.

Vlaphor · Apr 28, 2017

The best fighting game costume of all time, hands down, and the perfect character to wear it.

Demi-Fiend from SMT Nocturne.

Mesoian · Apr 28, 2017

I won't front, other than the hair, I kind of love this horrid monstrosity.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.
