What Are The Worst Character Designs You Have Ever Seen?

[RIP_SANITY]

The first one actually looks really good.

Nah.
Gill being painted in two colors (meant to represent fire and ice respectively) just looks really silly, especially when you consider he's supposed to be the leader of the Illuminati. I'm sorry, but the dude looks like a clown.

Urien has a similar design, major difference being he doesn't have that stupid paint on him. Looks 8 billion times better as a result. (Not to mention, in SFV you can use his badass suit)

His name is Tetsuya Nomura, he is a man with the mind of an autistic edgy teen.

he made kingdom hearts as an example to his autism.

If you REALLY want to see disgusting looking character designs, look no further than the two movies make by Wolf Tracer Studio before they went bankrupt from sucking so badly.

-Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa
-Wolf Tracer's Dinosaur Island

The former was on national television, specifically the WB. They got Mark Hamill for both movies, and other big name voice actors. This apparently used up most of their budget, because they make Food Fight and anything made by Video Brinquedo look amazing by comparison.

God, those eyelids aren't even glued on!

Well, they had to get the voice of Belle from Beauty & The Beast for this crap, who else was going to play a 'convincing' snobby valley girl!

I'm kind of sad that Dinosaur Island isn't as well known, it's IMO a much more enjoyable experience to watch, especially with their attempts at action sequences using the same janky graphics Rapsittie uses.

A lot the shows listed in this thread are more of subjective on whether or not the character designs sucked. These two poor attempts at making multi-movie franchises(both had planned sequels and merchandise that never happened) are very hard for ANYONE to defend stylistically.

Don't remind me, those designs look out of place even during the time before computers. How did they even think this would pass in any decade, let alone 2001?

Dinosaur Island came out the same year as the Incredibles, 2004

What happened to you?

Spoiler: Dragon Loli

Anyone that thinks this is a good design is clearly a pedo, and needs a life sentence to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.
Isn't that right, @MiloWuCollusion

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

Any Total Drama season, for starters.

(what's with all the autistic ratings I thought it was generally agreed to be a pretty ugly looking show)

I didn't know David S Gallant had made another game

 

[XYZpdq]

Fang of the Sun Dougram, semiobscure Japanese robot war cartoon. They decided to make pretty much everybody mildly ugly.
It's a reasonable enough idea, but in practice it makes everybody look like they're regular characters drawn for total shit.

 

[AnOminous]

Klurfs are pretty much total shit.

 

[Coster]

I love FFX and regard it as my favorite Final Fantasy, but holy shit Tidus' design is awful.

Spoiler: further sperging

I always thought it was pretty funny that Tidus was revealed to pretty much be the dream version of Shuyin, who actually has a better design that's less all over the place.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

I know it's old as shit to make fun of Johnny Test, but goddamn that show is painful to look at.

So this is supposed to be this:

now i can see why Sega replaced Alex Kidd with sonic

Well of course you can't make shitty Alex Kidd OCs.
