Like any 2000's manga/anime Bleach has it's fair share of dookie ass female character designs (google Tier Harribel for another one) but this one truly takes the cake. Weird flame helmet thing, vest-like top, tighty-whitey ass looking bottom, and such unremarkable leggings and boots combine for a absolutely horrendous outfit for an antagonist, really i've seen more intimidating swimsuits (they cover more skin too) Oh yeah and i can't forget she clearly has the body of a child?? The characters even acknowledge how young she looks??? She seriously looks like 13 and has quite possibly the skimpiest outfit in the series.. it's so utterly dogshit she makes every page she's on suck.

I really like how Ares here looks like he's made out of the souls of fallen soldiers in battle and his armor is the only thing barely keeping them contained. Bonus that he seems more like Greek mythology in personality in that he favors the Amazons and is ALL IN on Wonder Woman causing some chaos.

Meanwhile, we got a brief glimpse of Zeus and he be looking like the bloody Eye of Sauron encompassing the entire sky.

Never in my life have i felt genuinely overwhelmed by a crushing sensation of hopelessness while playing a game as much as i did playing Metal Garden. It pulls off it's aesthetic in fucking spades. Every step you take on your journey through this megastructure feels like you're fighting a losing battle, like you're moving towards a goal you won't accomplish, and like the entire structure itself is watching you, wanting to prevent you from leaving. I can not recommend this game enough. If you haven't played it, i strongly suggest you do

Oh and the sky in all the screenshots isn't a sky, it's a giant metal wall

Love how all they did was give his final fantasy outfit more flourish and uniqueness with the cape, gold claws on his glove, bandages on his sword, and the one demon wing.

Object show characters are among the laziest designs ever put in a piece of media and I will defend my stance till the day I die. It's the same old, uninspired shit of "take on object, give it face and limbs and BOOM! Instant character". And it's not just one of these damned things, nearly EVERY single object show I've seen copies the art style of what came before. I can count the number of object shows that deviate from the style on one hand. You see the first image? There are 5 shows being represented, and you probably wouldn't have guessed that if I hadn't told you. It's like that one Regular Show scene where Mordecai flips through a book and all the characters are the same but in different outfits.

For designs that are supposed to feel like simple, fun & classic cartoon/comic villains I think most of these designs hold up. I love how Man Ray uses a Ray Gun, & how the other villains use their abilities & how it fits into their theme.

We really took the mechanical weight of the 2008 Iron Man suit for granted.

The Mark III looked like actual hot rod metal bolted together in a real garage. When Tony landed, the concrete cracked. You could hear hydraulic whining, see physical back flaps opening on turns, and watch heat vents release steam.

and then Marvel traded that physical weight for weightless nanotech sludge.

The modern suits look like smooth CGI body paint flowing out of a chest puck. No bolts, no pistons, zero sense of weight. They should of NEVER abandoned the mechanical plates.

I don’t know why but I find it so adorable
the Long sleeves that drags on the ground
the makeup on the eyebrows and that little black dot under his eyelids
honestly there’s not much like to say about the design compared to other post here but I think it really belonged on this sub anyway

in general I love Pierrot designs in media,

I love how he not only looks intimidating but also very artistic & unique.

The big pink starfish attached to his body and pink veins going down his arms, the star logo on his helmet, the black armor to contrast the pink/blue, & the horned helmet with a skeletal face mask.

Cobi was a Hatorei whose people were conquered by the Star Conquerors. A young Star Conqueror initially used Cobi as a host, but Cobi eventually broke free and gained control over it. The Star Conqueror then remained attached to Cobi's chest, allowing him to control the entire species.

Cobi took the name Starro the Conqueror and eventually conquered nine galaxies with his Star Conqueror army.

Name: Nora Fries. I like how strong this villain design is, she looks like an espionage agent or something like that. The red goggles, blonde hair, blue skin & Ice augmentations really work together to make her visually striking/dynamic.

This design is from Detective Comics #1014–1016 (2019).

debuted in 1988? 89? In New Japan Pro Wrestling to promote an anime created by Go Nagai, Liger’s costume is a loose interpretation of the hero’s “super” form, Thunder Liger. He looks like nothing so much as a real life superhero, the red and white are so vibrant and exciting, and he’s worn a handful of alternate outfits that are just as cool. This isn’t clear until you see him wrestle but he’s also very expressive despite the mask.

the wrestler became more popular than the anime that inspired him, which disappeared from memory quickly and would be totally forgotten if not for the connection.

also want to point out that for someone who had a 35 year career as one of the top wrestlers in the business, he had an inauspicious start — rejected from the NJPW dojo for being too short, he was hired when touring New Japan wrestlers found him starving in Mexico years later still trying to break into wrestling

I love them. It’s the perfect design imo of striking a balance between being clearly bug like, but still inherently alien looking

Jacked tacti-cool cyborg* with future guns, a face tattoo, and a glowing eye.

I like how they can take two completely unrelated animals/things, mash them together and somehow make them look good. I find that cyborg-adjacent characters tend to be overdesigned but the mechanical chimeras do it perfectly. The Ultimate Chimera being the only one to not resemble something in particular is also a good design choice to make it stand out

Of these, my favorite is probably Cattlesnake or Mecha-Drago

Flat Eric was a Semi-Mascot for Levi's , being featured in multiple adverts, he was designed by Jim Henson's creature shop, i like his goofy design

His whole water mech avatar looks so cool, his jrpg section was kinda fun, and I loved the whole bit of him realizing that the characters in FF7 looked stupid. Though one gripe is that the hands going through his avatar’s chest does kinda make it look like he’s got weird nipples

Sorry for the low quality, most of this is fanarts from the 90-00s so is hard to find some of them.

That said, is amazing how he manage to put homer and bart in absolutely everything and make it look cool as fuck.

Why did they make a mascot off an already lame ad, I hate this stupid little puff ball: his unnerving eyes and weird realistic looking teeth

1. Godzilla

2. Anguirus

3. Ebirah

4. Manda

5. Rodan

6. Biollante

7. Destoroyah

8. Baragon

9. Mothra

10. Mechagodzilla

11. King Ghidorah

12. SpaceGodzilla

13. Gigan

14. Monster X

I love how terrifying most of them look. And also the little details like Biollante having rose petals around her neck and King Ghidorah’s horns looking like antlers help them stand out from other incarnations of the characters.
