Interesting thread. Wide variety of tastes.
Love the Shadow of the Colossus designs. The Dark Souls armor designs. Both of those also translate to in-game very well. Sam Gideons suit from Vanquish too.

Less bulky, wider nose, doesn't have that hunched over stance.

Ganondorf is a good example of a character that I don't like in artwork very much. I think the in-game model is great though:

Then you realize the eyes in her head arent eyes, they're just holes in her head and her actual eyes are the ones attached to her arms.
Yeah, some of the designs in this thread are the exact opposite of what I find appealing.
The moe girls, especially.
Hero from Dragon Quest VIII. A color scheme which reminds me of Dragonball all the time (giving me nostalgic feels) and a kickass bandana which at the time, I hadn't seen on many heroes. Anytime I see him I just want to play the game again. Also,
I adored the character designs in DQVIII. Hell, it was basically the reason I played the game. (The story ended up being too simple to compel me to keep playing.)
There were a bunch of great designs in the original 151 Pokemon, and they were all done by one guy.
Also, TTT2 redesigns of Tekkens' "fighting moms"
Jun, Angel, Michelle and Kunimitsu.
Classy, stylish, nice color palettes and practically every single one of them is over 35 (or 40) years old.
This is not only rare in fighting game rosters, but also gaming in general. Gotta applaud Namco for those designs and their inclusions.

A few of my most recent favorites
Racer from Fairy Tale. I HATE Fairy Tale but I am in love with this character design.
Big Band is awesome and he looks awesome
And this Frog from One Piece Movie: Strong World is ballin

Yup, pretty remarkable stuff considering.
I'm serious. Tingle don't give a f*ck. He is the only one from Zelda to have got its own spin-off. Go home Sheik, go home Midna!
All NA hates him but he still got two games, the 1st has even been released in Europe thanks to the superior NoE and the second one is one of the best and funniest DS point & click game.

You sir, have fantastic, grade A taste.
I agree with Puppet Ganon. Cool design!
Also N from Crash Bandicoot
Also thought Crash looked cool!
But for me it's gotta be the Judges from FF12!
I in particular liked the character designs of Leanne and Vashyron of Resonance of Fate.
The clothes are exaggerated but still sorta down to earth, and while Leanne looks kinda like a innocent girl, even a bit doll-like, she really kicks some ass. And everything is so wonderfully customizable - different clothes, hair colors, even eye colors can be changed around.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
The next zelda game needs to look like this.
ew, wut? no.
Agreed, it needs to look like this again.
The other artwork looks like a generic fantasy design made for F2P facebook RPGs. Also, brown hair. Make it pink again, then we can talk.

Nope. We need to go back to this:
I would kill for a cell shaded Zelda game in this style.

Everything Miyazaki. Odin Sphere.
This.
Also, many of the designs from Fire Emblem Awakening are very good. As you can tell by my avatar, I love the Dark Flier's design.
omg...LOL!!

Really anything Akira Toriyama has done, i just love his style.
I'm a sucker for cleavage when it comes to female designs , so the dragons crown sorceress is just about the best thing ever. I have the mind of a 13 year old some days.
Click for picture, it's huge
For mechanical design , I prefer wispy thin unearthly looking robots. The evangelion units for example , although classic go nagai robots have also looked pretty cool. Simplistic anime style is king. For a game reference - Zone of the Enders is pretty close.
Creature designs I've always favored grotesque monstrosities - take for example, the monster designs for biohazard 2 .

The most underrated and my personal favorite Capcom artist. Though I guess he only really did two series for them.(DMC1 and Sengoku Basara 1-3)
His work on the PS2 Shinobi games was always my favorite work of his. Specifically Nightshade(Kunoichi) which has some of my favorite female character designs with Hibana and Hisui.
Jeanne's new design reminds me alot of Hisui but I can't prove that there's a connection!!
It is really a woman very rude so i like!Mila's design is also pretty great.
Strong and sexy without being over the top (at least in her default costume)
Yeah, same here...Love the look of the ones you posted too especially
One of my friends keeps trying to tell me "all his designs look the same"...pfft.oconnomiyaki

How could I forget the badassness of the Phazon Suit?
Retro is so Godlike. Mama Robotnik's Metroid Prime Research thread can fill this entire thread with all the awesome artwork that ended up being cut from the games.

I like dark, evocative imagery, and usually tend to shy away from overly busy artwork.
The Gold-Hemmed Black Set from Dark Souls. I am a huge fan of the majority of armor and design choices in the Souls series.
The Queen from Ico. I just love the whole composition of the throne room, too, and the color choices for that whole event.
I like Kamitani's art when it's more in lieu of this.
The next zelda game needs to look like this.
Plot: Link has to get home before his mom discovers he snuck out to go LARPing with his friends instead of cleaning his room.
Plot twist: Link is 32.

The more you learn about these seemingly random, vulgar, unearthly, disturbing monstrosities, the more you realize this is how they were seen in myth...as thru a master's particular eye.
As "cold" as the artstyle and as masklike the faces seem at first glance, it often shows off the humanity within the characters portrayed far better and deeper than most. They exist almost as bridges between the mundane and the fantastical, the perfect entrants to games where humanity is valuable enough to fight for...but just as often as currency to buy power.
Clashes between titanic, dogmatic, inhuman entities need portrayed, and Kazuma Kaneko is there to both will them into being and describe them in pictures.
What's best about this is it was largely aimed at to be easy for 3D teams to integrate into being.
Large blocks of simple color with matte shading, deep angles, and deep shadows. Allows for choice detail and keeps the "muddy" look that haunted alot of low-budget PS2 games from gettin' in to Atlus' fine masterpieces.
