I like both... I guess I prefer the first game's graphics, actually, so here:

Hyung Tae-Kim's character designs are superb. Magna Carta: Crimson Stigmata chara-page!

Agreed. Some of the more inventive stuff posted is really good, but in general there are too many brooding males, and badly dressed females..

Let's get this thread back on track.

And because none but a genius would have thunk it possible to make a plumber the world's biggest gaming icon for so long:

I think every game ever is in this thread somewhere. Well... almost. I've got three favorites that are nowhere to be found...

'Bout time someone posted his work.

I'm usually more on how a character is in-game more than their outer visual form, but these guys land all 3; looks, function, and intangible greatness into handy-dandy packages:

He wears way too much makeup to be cool.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Somebody mentioned "Toejam and Earl" for cool character design?

Lord, I love those games as much as the next guy, but seriously:

I second that. verything from the way he walks, stands ,and runs to how he fights is the epitome of cool.

 

[Ruud_Luiten]

Says enough......

How about some NiGHTs love?

Scorpion, coolest character of MK

The kirbster!

This guy knows his shit.

 

[Shogmaster]

don't want to turn this thread into a "which of samus' suits is the best" kind of thread, but the varia suit is and always will be the best design.

Christ, that shit is embarrasing. You have to take your Metroid love goggles off to realise that probably, but.....

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

I'm not as big a Metroid geek as some others on here, but those pics look awesome to me.

What, awesomely embarrassing?

Samus design seems like a bad anime take on the iron man. The same god aweful color scheme, and the same lame concept. Except it's a girl! What innovation!

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

It does seem like a design straight out of 80's anime. The suit design is fairly basic. I think the Iron Man similarities are due to the color scheme.

I guess you could narrow it down to futuristic space suit, with football shoulder pads, add a dash of 80's super robot, and Iron Man's color's and voila, you have Samus, circa 1993. Sure there's nothing original about it, but I think it makes for a nice blend.

Coolest FF character in a while.

[J2 Cool]

yes! I was gonna throw in some Shenmue love later. Lan Di has an awesome, intimidating aura about him and his design is so cool. If they don't continue this series I'll be so pissed. I also have really like the development of Ryo. Ren kicked all kinds of ass too. *sigh*

 

[Liono]

I'm thinking we can stop posting the same character designs. It's not like this page doesn't have enough pictures on it already.

 

[akascream]

 

[nitewulf]

 

[FortNinety]

Hell, everything has the coolesst design ever in that whole series.

You wouldn't by chance have a much higher-res version of that would you?

 

[Dujour]

They are one, yet exist as two!

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Slightly larger.

edit: Good news. I found that exact picture in one of my artbooks. I'll scan an ultra large version for you.

Here it is --> http://img135.exs.cx/img135/3663/ironmanlarge1dv.jpg

 

[fennec fox]

Oh yeah -- Gaz better rehost that Ty image now that I've replaced direct-linked images with something rude (I've eaten several gb this month off other, larger images). Sorry bout that!

 

[Gazunta]

And you tell me that the moment I get in at work and can't do anything about it for at least 12 hours :/ DOH

Coolest FF character in a while.

Yeah, I thought he was cool but wasn't he just Guts with 1 eye, 1 arm, spiky hair, and a big sword? Still, very cool.

Thanks for that scan. Could come in handy.

Slightly OT, but I've been thinking about how to make Iron Man cinematically plausible ever since they announced the movie, and done some quick sketches over the months, and it seems almost impossible to make it look realistic yet still remeniscent of the comic book Iron Man design.

The problem seems to me, stems from the fact that the comic book design cheats way too much with all the bending metal, musclely metal, and rocket boosters and beam emiters buried in 4th dimension crap.

How in the world are they going to make this thing look cool and credible at the same time for the movie? Or are they inadvertently make a sequel to Shaq's "Steel"?
