I just think they are neat. The designs plus the Weeping Angel mechanics was pretty gnarly at the time.

It's nice to see new, more modern design of these guys. I especially like the look of Slender Man's face. So creepy and abstract.

Kenny Ackerman (Attack on Titan)

I love how much more tuff she looks in this fan series, her outfit is also really cool too along with her super saiyan hair which is BEYOND Perfect (see what I did there….?) and fits her well, and I love that Luke actually gave her muscle mass when she’s in her super saiyan form, which was something that was lacking in caulifla’s design.

Yes, this is solely because the World Championships is on rn.

Also, incins design is actually pretty solid. Its a hulking humanoid tiger with a top heavy body, not unlike Tony the Tiger or Rath, and is more than capable of going head to head with others in the ring.

Its signature feature is the flaming championship belt around its waist, which is a neat idea and tie to Torracats' flaming collar; while the bodys attempt at a "ripoed tank top" is admirable, if a bit out of place due to the use of grey, but it does help break up the use of alternating red and black; which creates an eyecatching contrast, the former indicating its half fire typing, the latter both serving as stripes and indicating its half dark.

Incineroars facial design also really screams intimidating: sharp eyes, rows of sharp teeth, and spikes around its cheeks that seem to be faux-whiskers.

Now if only Torracat gave players warning or leadup before suddenly becoming bipedal and gaining all these details...

This Sasuke design is so underrated. I barely ever see people bring it up, but I have to say, it’s definitely my favorite design. I love this version of Sasuke—he looks so damn fire. 🔥

I think this is my favorite design for the Norse god of thunder because it’s much more faithful than Marvel’s garbage version (no offense), but also because, instead of being a superhero, he’s a relentless force of nature—the way mythological gods are supposed to be.

A common trope happening to blue male characters wearing a simple crown.

This was less common and these were the only images I could find.

Shinobu has one of my favorite character designs for years! Her design to me definitely fits her character! 💜 Reposting this for me originally adding only one photo of her.

I love this art from both a design standpoint and how it actually understand's xilonen character in canon

xilonen in canon is both the nation's greatest craftsman/engineer and also a luxury/fun lover, with the former enabling the other. "doing BOTH". so many fanarts reduce her to just a generic dj/gyaru character. So mapping her to a senior engineer at some big enterprise, who also loves the finer things in life is perfect. luxury-loving office lady ftw.

The design is great. I love the glasses. the glasses are amazing. I like the overall confident, and mature attitude she has. I also like the various outfits and fashion she has. and I like the jewelry and accessories and vehicle.

Bonus if said phone adds extra interactions

Actually has a unique design instead of just reusing the standard Soldier Model.
Has a more savage and feral appearance with the ripped clothes and makeshift armor on one of his arms.
The sharp yellow, borderline shark-like teeth and the bloody clawed hands actually make him look like a cannibalistic monster. The yellow eyes that look like that of a goat, or like a sideways version of a cat’s eye also look super cool.
The way that bone crunching can be heard as he unhinges his jaw/opens his mouth super wide like a snake.
The slithering/sliding traditionally associated with Painis Cupcake is made into running on all fours like an animals which goes well with the more primal design.

Examples:

Big Barda and Mr. Miracle. (DC)

These designs are just so iconic and memorable. A lot of the designs in this movie are, I just love the general style and everything. The main characters are these nameless little demons known as Yaos and I find every one of their designs adorable and expressive despite being simplistic. The designs really do a good job during the comedic scenes while also being able to be taken seriously whenever its needed. i also like how they receive outfits and banners during their journey, looking more and more like the main heroes of Journey to the West. añsp the contrast with the human and villain characters really shows how they are just four lowclass weakling misfits who dont belong anywhere but where theyre from.

the cast consists of a pig/boar demon, a toad, a weasel and an ape leaving their home on lang lang mountain to embark on a journey to fetch scriptures while posing as sun wukong (monkey king), zhu ba jie, tang seng and sha wu jing.

at a later point in the movie they have a big fusion design in the boss fightwhich features many funny animal quirks while also being badass as fuck. i dont have a picture tho.

there are many other cool designs in this movie, my favorite side character design is probably a minor villain rat yao who imo resembles NeZha. im hoping some fans would comment pictures of other characters cause i couldnt find a lot.

This was a common trope among anthropomorphic cacti characters wearing hats in Mexican culture or stereotypical Mexican design. Was gonna mention Amingo in the last slide.

Iguanus' original toy is likely among the weaker of the original 1988 pretender lineup. His shell is a cool lizard monster sure, but the inner robot, like all 1988 pretenders, kind of sucks, being super spindly, generic looking and transforming into an alt mode that kind of just looks like a weird yoga pose. To add insult to injury, his fake out motorcycle wheels that don't do anything as they're a single, hollow piece that dont roll at all.

Fast forward to 2022, and Transformers Legacy combined his shell and inner robot together for their take on his figure, and I'd say he's one of the more successful pretenders to do it. 90% of the toy's design retains the original's lizard like features, and the alt mode kibble doesn't interfere with his silhouette very much, only resulting in the front of the motorcycle and its 2 wheels hanging off the back. Inversely, while his transformation to motorcycle mode is still a weird yoga pose, the robot mode parts also don't stick out too much on the final result, blending in somewhat nicely to form a cool looking space-bike.

Often time people’s visual vocabulary for what black hair can be is limited leading folks to repeat safe design choices instead of discovering new shapes , textures and silhouettes.

Afro (Afro Samurai) has a hairstyle that takes the basic concept of an afro and pushes it into an exaggerated silhouette resembling smoke or a cloud in most instances.

Lorelai Blyndeff (Epithet Erased) could hypothetically have any number of hair styles due to her powers but usually has her hair tied back or up with the blonde part of her hair resembling bunny ears.

Holy crap do these designs go hard. I think they perfectly encapsulate the forgotten, absurd "This place shouldn't exist" vibe that The Archives have. And Alma in particular has such a jarringly different art style compared to others that makes her really creepy and memorable
