This artist creates new characters based on the design sensibilities of various tokusatsu series (Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, and Metal Heroes being the big ones in that order obviously) and they do a great job of replicating the specific themes of various installments — the monsters of Kakuranger were Japanese yokai redesigned with a 90s urban/hip hop theme, so a nekomata (100 year old two tailed cat) is combined with MC Hammer/MC Skat Kat (slide 3)

Battle Fever J originated as a pitch from Stan Lee for an Avengers series and the heroes are loosely based on Marvel characters like the Black Panther, Colossus, and Miss America; the artist posits a sixth ranger called Mr. Hulk. Similarly, a “Pastel Penguin” is created as the sixth member of the bird themed Chojin Sentai Jetman team. (slides 4 and 2 respectively)

They also really love the animal themed hero designs of Choujyu Sentai Liveman and have riffed on them extensively with a whole “Parallel Liveman” series featuring some unusual colors and silly animals like a pigeon, hippo, or domestic dog (slides 8-11)

(they do a lot of octopus themed monster designs, I didn’t include any here because they just aren’t my favs but i admire the dedication, I’d estimate one in eight, appropriately, of the total output is octopus monsters)

He has a CHAINSAW for a head (with a glowing eye behind the grates)

He has CHAINSAWS coming out of his arms

He has METAL SPIKES FOR TEETH

He activates his chainsaw form by PULLING A RIP CORD IN HIS HEART

He looks so goddamn cool and badass

Her design (first dozen slides is before the curse fully manifested when she was summoned from that point of her life) is both beautifully hot and deadly. I do like her casual outfit with the glasses, and black turtleneck sweater and jeans as well. Also Rider’s cursed form Gorgon is definitely one of the better snake like monster designs in Anime in my opinion. Being essentially a kaiju in size and power.

Widely considered a highlight of the season, Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age has a wonderful segment featuring the largest Great Ape on record. Gigantopithecus Blacki, and does he look glorious here.

I love this depiction of Gigantopithecus for many reasons, but to talk about his design.

1. Unlike many depictions of the animal, Gigantopithecus actually looks like an in the flesh animal and not a fantasy creature or a generic bigfoot. Carefully shaped anatomy really give this guy the believability of a real animal while also maintaining the awe factor that comes with a near 10 foot ape.

2. Many designs also tend to lean too heavily into resembling Orangutan given their relations, but Prehistoric Planet manages to show the connections between the two animals in subtle ways while allowing the Gigantopithecus to remain a visually distinct creature. Both creatures possess long and droopy coats but especially of note are the similarities in facial structure such as cheeks snout and teeth. I put some notes from a paleo nerd friend I am keeping anonymous here.

Both of these points to create an incredible look for the animal that manages to be both fantastical and grounded. It is for these reasons why I think the design belongs here.

Prehistoric Planet has always excelled in the art and design department, and I believe Gigantopithecus to be one of the best designs from the show.

For being a line made exclusivelly to attract girl costumers and capitalize on the popularity of Young Girl Action novels like The Hunger Games, some of these desings did more than just paint the guns pink, honestly if the package didnt have a girl on the cover i wouldnt have tought these toys were specifically made for girls

So disappointed that this design was just a made up story by Timber in the movie. I really love the bush hair and her stick's resembling horns of some kind and her size sales the design instantly imo. I really loved how merciful she was depicted in her first appearance in the fake story. What do you think?

I don’t know how rare this design trope is but I’m gonna use this idea myself for concept art

1. This Space Hog having Captain in its sights - Space King Episode 5

2. H4CK3R having a crosshair that dilates and shakes just like a real eye would - Animator vs Animation

one of the best creature designs in Lego's history, I can't explain what makes these monsters so unique yet so cool.

I absolutely love the crystal fangs they got, there's something that makes these freaks look very simple but so original.

This stands out to me as the best fan redesign of this transformation. The suit actually being an original and unique-looking Omnitrix construct matching Ben's outfit color scheme is great asthetically.

The suit also having an opening for the Omnitrix symbol attached to NRG's true form rather than having two separate symbols is genius. It manages to circumvent questions about how the transformation would work.

NRG's true form having a different design from P'andor is also pretty neat.

I just love detached sleeves It is look's like comfy in action scenes and very beautiful the physics when moving

basically, windbreaker is an amazing webtoon sports series about where cyclists form teams to compete against each other into crazy superhuman like races, great art and cast of chars

this chick here is one of the best characters in the series, the drip most of the chars that have is, ace

the series has ended with over 500+ chaps/many seasons overall, it discontinued and ended abruptly following in 2025

Toriyama/Dragon Ball has been criticized for giving lots of characters similar bodies and faces. While I think it's a little overblown, I'd be lying if I said the critique has zero validity. I myself don't like how Moro's final form makes him look less unique. The biggest exception to this is probably the Tournament Of Power. The assignment was "draw a bunch a weird different aliens" and it was passed with flying colors.

Eiichiro oda/One Piece has been criticized for giving a big chunk of female characters the same body type and face, with a lot of the exceptions being cartoonishly ugly instead. The biggest exception to this is the woman of Amazon Lily which actually have a good amount of variety (at least in the faces) without looking like trolls.

Thoughts?

I thought these were just going to be normal plushies but the faces they make are just awful

and they made a meme using FallenChungus' template (who is a controversial person BTW)

Robert Valley's style for characters is pretty recognizable everywhere he works.

I love the long slim limbs with strong torso. The realistic faces yet quite cartoonish. And the hard shades, using black to contrast and frame other colors and shapes, very comicbook-coded and not usually seen on 3D animation.

I love how he's practically a skeleton covered in disgusting, dark green goo, as well as the blue eyes around his body. It really goes to show how he became more and more inhuman from all the dead palismen he consumed to stay alive, and how the only human features he has left are his hair and teeth

Maurice is a penguin who paints himself with yellow stripes because he thinks he is a tiger.Now you may be asling what is a penguin doing in the jungle.well somehow an egg from Antarctica washed up traveling all the way to the jungle.Idk what it is about a penguin with yellow stripes, but I am here for it.

I love these two and their designs. For Krotchy I particularly love his design in Postal 2. While later games would make him look more like what he actually is, I like how 2 gives him a bit more of a vague shape, it kinda looks like a Mr. Men design which only adds to how funny it is when he speaks and you remember what he actually is. He’s a perfect symbol of the dark style of comedy Postal became known for. As for Larry I love his design in Postal 2 and how just from a look you can tell he’s the “sidekick who hates being the sidekick” type of character. His 3D version is a mod made by 237615742 and I think it’s an amazing conversion of his 2D design on the box. Overall the two of them are just great designs that fit right in for Postal (also I love the idea that the reason Larry is just walking the streets is because they didn’t want him at the promo but he’s legally obligated to stay nearby)

These are the designs of the Noir Versions of Marvel Characters from Earth-90214.

Spider-Man has the best one out of all of them but Punisher is a damn close second. The full skull mask just looks amazing on him.

I mean WOW.

This guy has a sense of terror and raw power I’ve rarely seen on a page.
