Post bad character designs
So glad I can post this
that's not muh sashi
>>340987083
god damn it i was just going to post that
Everyone in Blazblue
don't even try to deny it
post the bald douche brobag hardened criminal marine ex policecop officer roidpecs
i think he's been in every single game released in the last 5 years
>>340987083
Lost it at knee-nickles. Also, cannot unsee pizza grimoire.
HARD MODE: post something not from Japan
>>340987880

>>340987710
Is Simon a member of the Gay Pride Parade now?
>>340987470
Are you saying that based Kaneko's demon design is bad?
>>340988076
How do you miss the point of this character that hard?
>>340988356
What the fuck is that weapon
>>340987083
Holy shit, this is like every Nomura design ever combined into a single monstrosity. Who designed this unholy masterpiece?
>>340987470
If your issue is with his 3 design itself I'm extremely disappointed in you
I love this game but his "shorts" just confuse the hell out of me kek
How does he even put that on? And don't even me started on Auron, Lulu however is one of the best designed characters in the series.
I get that NMH 2 is bad on purpose but yeah
>>340987710
It doesn't look so bad if you cover up the face.
>>340988879
So you're confused by Tidus's overalls, but not Lulu's dress made out of belts?
>>340987295
The Murakumo Units are alright.
>>340989102
Looks like bog-standard weebshit.
>>340988517
I think I just beat your fucking game.

I will cut you.

Too distracted by those tits desu
>>340989396
>the bat logo on the chest doesn't match the bat logo on the belt
This triggered me.
>>340988740
What about the spiky hair that goes in 5-6 directions?
>>340989249
Absolute shit taste
This is how a dragon looks like according to Square Enix
![TH15Hecatia[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/wiKebPk.png "TH15Hecatia[1].png")
It almost amazing how shitty it is, looks like satire of jrpgs or something. A design like this should be studied to see how you can create the shittiest design possible.
>>340989396
I don't know what they were thinking with Atrocitus but i didn't like it
>>340987470
What the fuck. This has to be bait
>>340989440
Come on, Moot
I even had an ebin picture and everything
Oh well, here's the most egregious design from that game at least
>>340986840
I'm waiting, anon.
>>340989482
>Hat pigtails
LOL
>>340989146
That's because you want to fuck man ass.
>>340988665
The red circle lifts up and guns are stored there. The rest of it he uses as a bludgeon and for various special attacks.
>>340988356
0/10 taste
>>340989879
What is it with JRPGs and belts
>>340989648
Holy shit, I didn't even notice that.
God, I could post almost every design in that game. Just so fucking bad. So glad the character design in I2 so far looks so much better.
>>340989890
I 'should' hate it but honestly, it's not bad. It kind of fits him, really and at least it's nothing as terrible as anything in the first game.
>implying anyone here has good taste
>nerds so whipped by social pecking orders that they turn to making fun of video games for currying favor

>>340988879
I think you got lulu and auron mixed up buddy
>>340986840
I had forgotten this game existed,
Fuck you OP for reminding me.
>>340990154
>A spiky pompadour
Holy shit
so itt edgy chars?
>>340989318
No they're the fucking worst
>>340989879
Reminds me of pic related, also absolutely pants-on-head retarded.
>>340989989
That head size makes me feel really, really uncomfortable.
>>340990208
>those shoulder pads
Supes looks like he's going to prom in a John Hughes movie.
>>340987470
DMC3 Dante's design is my least favorite out of his 4 main looks but it's definitely not offensive as far as overall character designing goes.
>>340990219
tidus is a shit design though. and I like marche
>>340989624
What game is this? I intend to purchase it and then repeatedly move my hand from the base of my penis to the tip of my penis and then back towards the base in a rhythmic and continuous way. I will continue this oscillating movement at a rate of about 3 hertz for 800 cycles.
I am keen to explain why if anyone is confused or has trouble understanding.
Thanks.
>>340989749
I know posting compilation shit is cheating but what the actual fuck Nomura?
>>340990465
God damn, that color coordination and silhouette are atrocious.
What a mess.
>>340987470
>>340990559
DMC3 is his worst visual design but it is, by far, his best in terms of character development and personality.
>>340989989
Holy fuck that head, not great but it would be fine if not that head.
>>340990154
Is GunGrave fun? I liked the trigun manga
>>340990559
It's not that bad when you consider that he literally just kinda threw some shit on after getting out of the shower before getting to work. He didn't really have a whole lot of time to get dressed in the first place.
>>340989879
Tales games in general are like satires of JRPGs, only thing missing is the ATB "spam Attack to win" combat.
>>340986840
anything with belts
>>340989989
thin legs
>>340989989

jesus christ that hair, no wonder all the fujoshits hate her
Surprised this hasn't been posted yet.
>>340987710
what a fucking mess that game was.
Music was good, though.
>>340990968
what the fuck is under her jacket
>>340991170
Explosives
>>340990559
We all know that, in terms of Dante's design:
2>1>4>3>>>DmC
the pokemon xd protag
>>340991116
Is that Auron's faggot brother? Also her hair is the same thing as Tifa's.
>>340990968
the fuck happened to sora?
Deep Fear characters are the worst
>>340990540
It gets worse.
Like...HOW THE FUCK did NRS manage to fuck up Deathstroke when he's exactly the sort of tacticool, edgy character they specialize in? The fuck?
>>340989396
all the injustice models, or at least most of them, suck dick, anon, that game is ugly as sin
>>340989146
The face is the least worst part of it though.
>>340991296
oh lord, you weren't kidding. he looks like on of those mixed-matched custom made characters from SoulCalibur.
>>340990802
>its not bad because the throwaway plot justifies it
Surely he should be able to dress effortlessly?
>>340988879
it was apparently confirmed that Tidus and Jecht are wearing outfits designed for Blitzball, something about that knee guard being on their main kicking leg to prevent water drag, and the guard on their throwing/passing arm.
>>340989749
Please do not sully FFIX Bahamut's good name.
>>340986840
Holy shit I've never seen this character. That is the worst design I've ever seen.
>>340991253
I still can't get over what a stupid title "XD" is. What does it even mean?
Also that design doesn't look bad, looks like the main character for an Ape Escape game.
>>340991330
Oh for sure. Even some of the designs that really aren't that bad, like Wonder Woman, completely fall apart due to the modeling. She is so fucking ugly in that game, it's ridiculous. Doesn't help that the art style is ugly as shit too.
>>340991485
He looks fucking awful. He is way too overly-designed.
>>340991682
Would look ao much better without the stupid hair.
>>340991560
The design itself is a leftover from the original concept for Tidus, who was originally an underwater pipe construction worker.
>>340991557
Maybe. A big ass tower just sprung up out of nowhere, demons just appeared all over the city, he just got attacked in his shop. He probably just prioritized, you know, dealing with all of that shit.
Plus Mission 2 starts literally right after Mission 1 ends canonically, so...
>>340989989
It's so fucking awful god fucking damn HOW
>>340990793
Yeah, pretty good shoot em up
kind of dated thoughThe anime is fantastic
![StarOcean5-31[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/DaCsBpK.jpg "StarOcean5-31[1].jpg")
Are characters with okay designs that translated horribly in-game acceptable?
>>340991901
So something like this?
>>340991993
And what if it just started raining acid and Dante decide to wear a fedora to protect his head. And maybe it got and cold so he wore the first thing he found, a Mountain Dew tshirt.
Anyone can justify ugly designs with lame writing.
>>340990757
don't get why people don't like it. it's simple: pants, shoes, gun holster strap on and one red coat. what's so offensive about that?
>>340989749
Well dragons don't exist so they can be drawn whatever the hell you want :^)
>>340989989
Did someone cross Kenny and the Tank or
>>340992274
It isn't offensive, it's just not as good as every other design.
>>340989989
That looks intentionally bad though.
>>340991682
The XD was for XD001, AKA Shadow Lugia
>>340988356
>>340992414
It's Gearbox
Other lines from the other characters do make fun of him for his looks
But to me, it's not even "good bad", just straight up horrible to look at, even if it is in jest
>>340990441
>>340991014
I think the problem with Blazblue characters is that the setting is all over the place and when you try to put together all these thematically different designs into one story it only becomes visually unpleasant.
I get that it's a fighting game (and an anime fighting game at that) and the characters should be designed to be as recognizable as possible, but let's pretend for a moment that pic related is a character from Hyperdimension Neptunia or Atelier, would it suddenly turn into a good design for those franchises?
THANK YOU CON MAN
Those sunglasses are completly out of place
>>340992264
Actually a design must make sense within context of the setting, the narrative, a character's background, and his/her personality.
Dante in 3 was a more grimy, 'rougher', less fancy Dante. It'd make a lot of sense that instead of actually bothering to get dressed, he'd just go for it. He clearly did not give a fuck throughout the entirety of that game and his design reflects that. With that in mind, the design isn't even that bad.
>>340992261
Jimmy looks much better, kinda like the goofy band aid on hid nose too.
And now I'm sad knowing sony isn't going to announce ape escape 4 this week.
The entire time I was playing Tales of Graces I couldn't get over how fucking ugly the character designs were, this one's the biggest offender though.
>>340991682
/vp/ crossboarder here.
Shadow Lugia, the game's legend, had the codename XD001. In JP, the game basically means "Shadow Lugia's Whirlwind of Darkness."Anytime someone mentions it, I have to do a doubletake because it's the fucking emicon little kids used on DA in 2005,
>>340992718
They could have picked an aesthetically pleasing design that also made sense within the story. Something shouldn't need a context to look good.
At first, the design looks alright but the longer you look at it it's pretty shitty. I mean, the fact that the sleeve isn't connected to his shirt, the turtleneck without any undershirt and the apron.
>>340991616
All FF9 summons were shit except Hades that was made into a side-boss.
>>340992731
I still like Spike's original design the most, not the goofy Super Saiyan shit he had in Million Monkeys or Sony Smash.
Also that's fine with me, I'd rather Sony just leave well enough alone than dig up the corpse only to shit on it then prance around the street with it.
>>340986840
Jesus christ, I never thought I'd find a hair design with more curves than the ones in Final Fantasy X and X-2
>>340986840
The most inexcusable thing about this character is the voice.
>Hey you know this edgy teenager
>well let's get a middle aged woman to voice him!
Lenne Hardt sounds like a middle aged woman trying to sound like a teenage boy trying to sound like an adult. it doesn't work.
She also voiced pic related in X7, but that entire game was bad voice acting so
>>340992985
His hairspikes look even faggier than they did before.
>>340992870
I don't disagree but the design fit the character well. It contrasted as well against the more elegant, more refined Vergil and his design. Classic red oni, blue oni.
I'm JUST saying that if you consider what happened at the beginning of the game and Dante's character, the design works, is all.
>>340993075
I love his single yellow patch
Looks like trimmed vagina.
>>340993205
I like the SSJ Gohan look on him, not gonna lie. It makes him more memorable imo.
>>340992870
I don't really see anything wrong with him. He looks juvenile as fuck but that's kind of the point of his current personality.
>>340993204
Every voice actor in that game was terrible, and not even in a funny way like with X4.
>>340989749
>Rear view
damn right
>>340993325
Didn't SSJ Gohan have a flat-top though?
>>340991253
His face is the only thing that really bothers me
>>340987710
Looks like Light from Death Note
>>340993075
Well yeah, I would rather it stay dead then have it fucked over. I also like spike's design, the spikey hair is kinda absurd but doesn't go to jrpg levels.
>>340987295
They're not so bad.
>>340993676
That's because Takeshi Obata did the character design for Judgement
>>340993676
He was designed by the same guy
>>340993576
No, but it was more evenly spread.
literally every outfit she wears that's supposed to be "normal" clothing is godawful shit that looks like patterns threw up on twink hipster clothing.
too much noise and the color palettes are hideous.
>>340993576
Well, I was thinking Cell games Gohan. I always thought Cloud's overworld model looked like Teen Gohan.
>>340993845
Jesus, this is terrible.
What the fuck is even going on here?
>>340993845
>Hey so Grant Danasty is a thief

>>340994415
reminder that he fought Vegeta and Frieza while he was 4 years old
>>340994593
No he was 4 when he was kidnapped by Raditz. He was around 6 in the Frieza saga.
>>340994479
>Shanoa is that sexy bitch who uses runes
>ok so i'll just fuck that shit up
>>340994720
my mistake but that's worng too.
he was born on 757 and Raditz arrived on 761
Vegeta and Frieza saga happened one year later, in the same year, so Gohan was only 5 at the time.
>>340986840
Everything about that game was a bad design
>>340991816
>>340995036
Meh, close enough.
>>340994151

To this day the only role of her's I really liked was in Trailer Park Boys.

It is also a rocket launcher and a surface to air missile launcher.

Holy shit I've never seen so many godawful designs in a single game. Even Nomura would laugh his ass off at this shit.
>>340996314
I forgot the pic
>>340989624
her shorts remind me of a corn tortilla and that bracelet thing on her right arm reminds me of a corn husk
>>340996510
Probably. I'm surprised she never returned.
>draw a girl
>call it an alucard
Why are all the mysteriosu girls half-naked
I actually like most of KH's designs but even I can't excuse this piece of shit. (Not a character design but whatever.)
>>340990672
not even the worst in that game
>>340991682
I love this motherfucking game so much god damn
>the "how the fuck am I supposed to walk in these" style of heel is the new hotness
>>340996867
that really should have been the incomplete X-Blade and the final version was a proper sword
>>340991816
Going through the unlockable concept art of Injustice made me shake my head so much
While they had some good designs, there were so much better designs they could have used. I think Aquaman had some of the ugliest armor I had seen and a lot of the skins had clashing patterns
>>340989396
>>340997013
Is every single design in that game a fucking mess or what?
>>340996867
This is autism. This design, I mean. It is pure, unadulterated, autism.
>>340997241
The werewolf design was pretty cool honestly,
>>340997062
to be fair it's not even a true X-blade since it was made using a cheap alternative by Xehanort.
The true X-blade is from 7 lights clashing with 13 darknesses. Why those numbers though is beyond me
>>340996893
>created a vortex in his mom's vagina just by being born
After this I officially take back everything negative I might have said about Genesis, or the rest of the franchise. This goes beyond even parody tier retardation. Fuck this game and fuck Square Enix.
>>340997241
yes
it is the most complete raping of a property I've ever seen
>>340997226
Fucking lord, that is some bad art.
>>340997241

>>340987083
>yfw Humans can't even equip this fucking sword, only Bangaa
>>340997394
I really hope it's an edit.
>>340997441
Thank God
>>340997514
Actually it's not even that.
It's present in the attack animation for some skills, one of which is the Bangaa Bishop "Judge" skill.
as a gameplay item you never actually get to equip a physical Judge Sword.
>>340989318
Nice deviantart drawing
>>340986840

Whatever
basically same shit in every thread where people post a bunch of jrpg characters and get angry that its not realistic. has there ever been a dumber argument? the only metric that i can respect for why a character design is bad is if its a blatant rip off or generic. being creative is never a bad thing
Oh I forgot to include Judgement's original the character
>>340997542
Nah, this artist was retarded. Whoever illustrated the early Injustice comics gave Bruce and Clark the same face as well.
>>340988356

>>340991116
Came here to post this
>>340997818
>being creative is never a bad thing
I don't think so. I prefer bland but on point over fashion disaster/ pointlessly overdesigned characters.
>>340997696
thats a shit ton better than luso. saying a lot but why the fuck do judge swords have chains around the hilt and connect to the sword itself?
>>340997818
>It's "original" so it's good!
Nah, you just have shit taste.
Trevor's design isn't that bad either especially compared to the rest of the cast
>>340997982
"bland but on point" doesnt get points for design it gets points for contributing to an atmosphere. I dont see how anyone could praise "realistic" designs when by definition it is lifted right out of a historical source and has no original insight
>>340998130
No, its unique which means its not bad. I say that and you are misquoting me.
>>340997982
that kinda comes with the anime aesthetic tho. It over the top nature is what sets it apart from realistic themes.
>>340997918
Why does he need two pocket watches?

>Belt
>Belt
>Garterbelt?
>>340989989
What about that red haired tranny when she tries to run like naruto
>>340997918
It's not so bad.
Get rid of the stupid weapon and attached chain, change his face and make his clothes a little less spikey. Could be alright at the very least.
I defend a lot of the shit Capcom does with Street Fighter, but this design has always been shit. Even for what it's going for, being a sort of meta take on a KoF character, in particular intentionally being similar to Vanessa, it's shit. It's so over-designed, yet somehow bland, hideous, and it doesn't even fit the series.
>>340998292
>>340998329
No, you can make things look unique/unrealistic but still good. Most of the examples in these threads that were defended by that post just look awful. Being unique isn't a good thing if it looks like a disaster.
>>340994479
The "spear" is retarded too
>>340996689
Reminds me of the nipple gun chick from Austin Powers
>>340998519
All SF4 originals are shit except Juri who looks decent.
>>340998538
actually even awful designs have their place in video games especially these days. welcome to post-modernism
>>340998186
A realistic design can look unique an interesting without having to look retarded though. I'll take a realistic looking characters over a character who looks original but awful and nonsensical in every way any day.
>>340990280
>>340991631
>>340993104
Original Musashi actually looked pretty good too, unsure why they went full autism with the series.
>>340996867
How do you hold it?
>>340997331
Fucking lel, is that true? I never finished DoC.To be honest, that would make having a vagina a lot more practical
>>340998673
Juri's better than decent. She's pretty great actually and is by far and away the best SFIV newcomer. Abel isn't bad either, if just a tad boring.
SFV's newcomers have been so much better so far. I hope we get more of them.
>>340998174
Too many belts and nonsensical clothes but the other designs are way uglier
>>340998519
>Out of all the Street Fighter characters, C.Viper gets chosen for MvC
>>340998784
at least the swords you have are swords that look like swords.
I mean you start getting shit like this
First thing that popped into my head
>>340998030
Maybe it's just simbolic. Judges, law, chains?
>>340998732
Sounds more like bullshit logic to avoid criticism to me unless it's being a parody.
>>340997818
Shit taste
>>340998335
One to beat people with and one to actually fit in a pocket
>>340992618
The sword is cool though
>>340992830
The shape isn't bad, but the colors in the details ruin it all
>>340998959
I really like the chick with all the rapiers. It's like her design was wasted on that shit game.
>>340998905
Right? Jesus. I hope she doesn't come back for SFV either.
>>340998292
>its unique which means its not bad
Not really. If I were to design a crossdressing turd with a shark head it would still be a shitty design even if there's nothing similar to it in any medium. Originality is important but you can still fuck it up, also it's not the only factor that defines character design.
>>340993845
>FUCK GODDAMMITSHIT GET ME OUT OF HERE FUCK
>>340998292
This is unique.
>>340997818
No one hates those designs because they're not realistic, people are shitting on them because they look awful on every single way, and no, looking like a special snowflake doesn't automatically make a design good.

but that looks good.
I've always hated the human design in Gears. They all have these awkward giant legs and crazy think ankles for no real reason. The game would be a lot better if the humans had more realistic proportions and were fighting giant locust soldiers.

being misterious usually means being an social outcast, so you don't know how to dress properly
>>340999647
Maybe it's just their legwear

Everyone only seems to have the sword and not its owner

Beyond her hair trying to look like I snake I don't really have issue with her.

That's not bad, seems like you aren't picturing it at it's full size of 13 feet tall and weighing 3 tons

I-it's not bad because it's unique!

Fucking THANK YOU. Never fucking liked that generic 'chunky' design.

Everything in that game is brutally over designed, he's just slightly less over designed. Still looks awful though.
His arm bracelets look like lobster tails.
>>340999647
Those are fucking ugly, I understand they wanted a grim and badass art direction but almost every character just looks too fucking unappealing to the eye.
>>340999513
Imagine getting hit by that.
>>340999770
>People who judge art when they can't draw worth of shit.
Dammit, they've got me.
>>340999859
It looks like shit no matter what size it is

>character inspiration: AXEL
I thought she created Axel and square enix stole her amazing designs
>>340992618
It's like Shanoa with JRPG design autism cranked to the max.
>>340992618
Fuck off

>Character in the OP looks good

What a faggot.

CAWABUNGA, YOU GOT IT WHISKER DUDE!

It's done intentionally to make them look bigger, their torsos and legs are just fucking giant for no reason and it makes any movement they do look super awkward.
It's the same shit with WoW's no forearms.

>trying to figure out where you hold it
It... The fucking keychain bullshit isn't the hilt, is it?
LET'S PUT SOME ROCKET HEELS ALL UP ON THIS BITCHI actually think that the Zero Suit is otherwise improved on with the Smash 4 design, but it's still just so retarded that they added a dumb pair of rocket heels to the design. Note the garish, clashing colors and design of it that don't mesh well with the rest of the suit. Intentional, sure but fucking ugly. They're not even elegant like heels are supposed to be.THEY COULD HAVE JUST BEEN BOOTS, SAKURAI
Every single character from Kingdom Hearts, except the Disney ones.

Now don't get me wrong, as I'm not really a fan of KH, but honestly KH1 Sora' design was cool. And the Organization XIII coats are actually really slick. And I think DiZ and Xehanort's Heartless have great designs too.
Everyone else's are just typical Nomura trash though.

>>340999770
I wonder how old this person is now. Do they remember creating these? Are they ashamed?

>>341000652
My main issue is that the disney characters look extremely out of place compared to the humans.
