[LunarKnite]

Yuzuru Akie aka Joe from Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2. The stripes. The class. The swag.

 

[ApharmdX]

I always loved the design of the male lead in Legend of Mana.

 

[Pegosaurus]

I pretty much love every navi

this is the best mega man design.


i'm a fan of Rita from Tales of Vesperia

also Sora in Kingdom Hearts 2

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

I love Team Magma Courtney and I really want a new Viewtiful Joe.

Bonus FEA Roy. I wish he got in instead of Lucina.

 

[Dr. Buni]

A couple more, sorry for the image spam

Tron Bonne, Mega Man Legends series

Roll Casket, Mega Man Legends series

Zero, Mega Man Zero series

Smithy, Super Mario RPG

Vivian, Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door

Pit, Kid Icarus Uprising

Inkling, Splatoon

Amaterasu, Okami

GLaDOS, specifically her design in Portal 2

Edit:

Skyward Sword Impa

I love her design in SS, too. It is a shame the Hyrule Warriors design is the one to get more love :x

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

One of my favorites. Super simple, but great.

Everything about Crono is ridiculous 90's anime and I love it. The hair, the scarf, the layered tunic, the baggy pants, it's all great.

 

[TI82]

I'm also a huge fan of nearly all dragon quest monsters designs especially the slime lineage.

 

[Relativ9]

Elana Fisher, because she actually looks like a regular ass woman.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

also Sora in Kingdom Hearts 2

Sora in KH2 has such a great design, I hate how they constantly go back to his KH1 design... why.

 

[Nachos]

I completely forgot Kirby, perfection itself:

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

I like most Guilty Gear character designs, but Zappa is something special.

 

[Slamtastic]

Good thread! nice to see some positivity on GAF.

Here's a few off the top of my head.

 

[Mazzo]

Anything Bengus draws

These are so interesting

 

[poipoipoi9]

Hinanawi Tenshi from Scarlet Weather Rhapsody

Kazami Yuuka from Phantasmagoria of Flower View

Kijin Seija from Double Dealing Character

Alice Margatroid from Scarlet Weather Rhapsody

Reiuji Utsuho from Hisoutensoku

 

[ShinMaruku]

Call me a perv but I do love

Kagura and Saya's outfits. Mainly Saya's because it's so reserved compared to Kagura's and the duo of them make perfect sense.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

I'm really digging the look of Vesemir in The Witcher 3. It sure beats the ugly armor Geralt is wearing in most of the released media.

Plus those spikes are geometry in-game, which is nice.

 

[Producer]

Roll Caskett's design

Also, this is the greatest idle animation of all time:

Nah, this is

 

[Hastati]

While the same-face phenomenon is in full effect, I really enjoy the wonky character designs in Terra Battle:

With the exception of one or two characters where it fits their personality, the character designs would probably fair better without the fan service, considering how gracefully they're drawn. But I still like the weird cyborg aesthetic a lot.

 

[Trago]

Definitely anything involving either high fantasy or science fiction and cyberpunk.


Garret from the Thief series.

Adam Jensen from Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Samus Aran from Other M.

Fucking everyone from Final Fantasy IV, VI, and IX!

 

[Mazzo]

I find some of these designs from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles very appealing:

3rd and 8th lilties are my faves

 

[Ryouji Gunblade]

I absolutely love designs in The Last Story. (Awakening Roy included.)

Totally freaked out when I saw that Smash 4 had a Zael trophy.

 

[Alo81]

I really, really like the Elite Knight armor from Dark Souls.

 

[Hikami]

Ritona. Just love everything about her design.

 

[AdaWong]

Two words:
Ada Wong

Bonus iconic version:

 

[How About No]

Leon and Helena in Resident Evil 6. One of the few good things about RE6.

 

[AAK]

Hilde from Soul Calibur 4:

Yoshimitsu from Tekken 5 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2:

Young Ivy from Soul Calibur 4

Shanoa from Castlevania: OoC

The Boss from MGS3:

 

[AdaWong]

Leon and Helena in Resident Evil 6. One of the few good things about RE6.

I will not accept the Ada Wong shade. Repent.

 

[iosefe]

White Mage Serah from FF XIII-2

much better than the default i think

 

[TheRedSnifit]

Best version.

 

[kevm3]

 

[Stairouais]

(anything by Toriyama really)

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

Elephant Monsters from God of War: Ascension.

Darth nihilus from KOTOR 2.

SAS from CSGO

 

[kevm3]

Something I like about a lot of the 80s and 90s designs were the simplicity of them. Nowaddays, it feels like information overload... 10,000 belts, buckles and accessories everywhere.

 

[kevm3]

 

[ahdurian]

Seconded every thing about this game was stellar.

could say it was....Geo Stellar

 

[kiriin]

Enami Katsumi's character design in general. She's mainly known for Baccano but does a couple games, notably Falcom.

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

Basically any of the colossi from Shadow of the Colossus. Except the 11th one. Hated its stupid sad face. The one below is the third one, one of my favorites in a game full of awesome designs.

 

[Sylvrfonic]

I think the design is simple, beautiful in motion and really works well within the setting.

 

[DeadlyParasite]

This badass right here.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Red - Transistor

Hawlucha - Pokemon X/Y

Garcia Hotspur - Shadows of the Damned

Shinobu - No More Heroes

 

[Vitor711]

Haters Hatin

The one thing DMC2 did right. The best Dante design. Even with the weird Diesel promotional tie-in.

 

[Dart]

Red from Transistor is a recent favorite, the art style is also fantastic!

 

[batfax]

Valkyrie from the Namco's Valkyrie series and Pete/Jack from the first few entries of Harvest Moon.

 

[Metaternal]

Strider Hiryu

Meta Knight (the cape turns into wings so I used both Smash portraits)

Nightmare (Soul Calibur 2 version)

Ratchet & Clank (pre-Crack in Time; Ratchet gets a little too skinny)

Sly Cooper Gang (Sly 2 version)

I'll just limit it to five. There's many I like already posted.

Darth nihilus from KOTOR 2.

I've had a poster of him in my room for several years and didn't even know what his name was!

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

Every character from No More Heroes and most characters from No More Heroes 2.

In particular Henry Cooldown, Shinobu and Skelter Helter.

So many awesome designs.

 

[Enigmatic Rainbow]

Artorias from Dark Souls

Roll from Mega Man Legends

HUcast/Kireek from Phantasy Star Online

 

[thefatness16]

I couldn't even choose for Okami, so I just went with my Favorite. Seriously love the art in that game.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

Might as well get it out of the way lol

 

[Sch1sm]

Garrus Vakarian - Mass Effect

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

I'm sure I'll get grief for it, but I thought the character designs and art for Borderlands is pretty awesome.

Will try to edit pics in lol Mobile sucks.
