I love all of MGS character designs, but Ocelot, Snake and Liquid stand out the most

This kicks ass too.

[Gazunta]

Hey, he won best character design in the Australian Game Developer Conference twice in a row. That's gotta count for something...

(TY that is, not Fennec Fox, who I think would make a fine sidekick)

 

[OneFiftyOne]

Ridley from Super Metroid

 

[Do The Mario]

Cookie if one of you japophiles can tell me who this is

 

[Scrow]

Ridley from Super Metroid

the artwork of ridley in zero mission is much better

 

[gollumsluvslave]

Not apparent from individual screens, but the presentation of Garrett through the Thief games is quality.

Juts a badass

But my favourite of all time :-

Shodan >>>> *

 

[gollumsluvslave]

Do The Mario :-

It's Jon Irenicus from Baldur's Gate 2. Good choice!!

 

[Gibbo]

No matter how crappy the game might be...the character designs still rocks

 

[gollumsluvslave]

Some other faves from older generations :-

Head & Heels

Spy vs Spy

Paradroid - those droids had so much character for being meagre sprites!

Not a great *aesthetic* character design, but Duke as a character is great.

Jon Irenicus from Baldur's Gate II, a game from Bioware (who isn't as good as Black Isle/Obsidian ).

 

[Ferrio]

Cookie if one of you japophiles can tell me who this is

Looks like Irenicus from Baulder's Gate......... but I'm not really a japophile.

Favorite quote

 

[ActionMan]

For me the Square (Squaresoft, Square-Enix) characters have allways been the coolest looking out there. With a coule exceptions, the bosses, the sidecharacters and pretty much everyone looks unbelieveably thought thru.

 

[Vormund]

Fulgore MKII

Can't say the rest of KI's lineup was inspiring....

 

[Speevy]

I know this is probably too large, but I couldn't find a smaller pic quickly.

 

[Stinkles]

I couldn't find Mrs. Mokujin.

 

[epmode]

too much shinkawa, not enough kaneko.

edit:

needs his own game.

best pic ever. is that from the sequel?

There's never enough Shinkawa.

I should have posted some Paper Mario 2 art myself. I don't think I'd of gone with the wresler fella, but there are lots of cool characters in that game. It oozes charm.

Some of the designs posted are absolutely horrible IMO by the way. Unless this is becoming a joke thread. In which case I approve.

or, on the other end of the scale, something with a few more curves...

[firex]

lans tartare from the ogre battle series. tried searching for a good picture of him but found nothing on google.

 

[funcojoe]

Not the coolest ever, but pretty damn cool.

 

[tedtropy]

Breakdown itself was crap, but I found her character interesting...

 

[Mermandala]

that it is. i think jackfrost2012 posted it in the katamari 2 thread. King Rules.

 

[GhaleonEB]

 

[tedtropy]

Look at him, glistening in all his normal-mapped glory. It's enough to...ahem, excuse me... :lol

 

[Gribbix]

 

[Lemurnator]

which reminds me:

BED HEAD LINK IS SO CUTE!

 

[Jonsend]

 

[3phemeral]

That's Amazing.

My vote would have to go for:

 

[Unison]

 

[FortNinety]

I've noticed that there's a big divide between fans of the art styles for both JSR games. I personally like both, but I know people who loved the first that can't stand the look of the characters from the second game.
