What Are The Worst Character Designs You Have Ever Seen?

[The Great Citracett]

This is a mascot for a rural-themed restaurant. She's supposed to be a sassy, curvy, attractive cow waitress.



Her eyes are on her ears for some reason. And who even knows what's up with her arms...

I had to be told she was supposed to be a cow.

The way her eyes are positioned makes her look more like a frog.

Gives me Animal Crossing vibes

 

[MysticMisty]

Even Sonic and Tails look utterly fucked up here.

I thought you were joking, until I saw Captain Planet, and then recognized the friendly girl monsters from one of those 80's Scooby Doo movies. The fuck is this mess?

 

[Kabuki Actor]

And that's just the main characters. The other characters are so much worse.

Most of these are okay designs as the sticker sheet this isn't except for that orange Gem Empire reject to just the left of center, made worse by her prominence.

Furry twitter would be happy to help the redesign.

The fact she was a shit villain just increases my disdain for her design. Tell me: does anything about her design indicate to you that she has time manipulating powers?

The colour blue is usually associated with time, so...that maybe?

Looks like a bad Miss Piggy knock-off.

I spotted Astro Boy and they massacred my mans.

This show has a stupid amount of crossovers. Look up Crossover Nexus, almost every Cartoon Network original show is referenced.

How did they make Captain Planet look more gay? I didn't even think it was possible.

Did Master Shake really appear on this show??

Also, I see a character that looks like a naked Mr. Bean behind a Sony TV? What?

Yes, they referenced ATHF, but none of the other characters show up.

Meanwhile SU gets Carl's VA and it's basically an ATHF reunion (Greg played that monster Willie Nelson).

Now I’ll post the worst redesigns I’ve ever seen. Fair warning, not gonna post Jake Long, I don’t actually dislike that show’s art shift. These ones can’t possibly get enough hate.

 

[TheClorax]

Salem’s never really had a great design by any means, especially for RWBY standards,

Pretty run of the mill “Dark Mistress pulling the background strings” character (why people consider her one of the best villains not just in the show, but fiction in general is beyond me), but then Volume 8 comes around and her design goes from generic to bad.

By all means not the worst designs in this thread (or even this specific part of the show), but the bone armor on her arms look dumb, the broach is a weird addition, her shoulders don’t make sense, and her tits look weird in every forward-facing shot.
Her design was never anything to write home about before, but this new looks she’s sporting just looks like shit in comparison. Especially when I actually like a lot of this show’s designs.

They really exaggerated Ash's weird, z-shaped birthmark things under his eyes. He looks like a Mexican teenager there.

Teenager is not the right word, he’s been aging backwards for the most part. He seemed to age up in XY, then went way backwards ever since.

Posting another cartoon where I can’t stand the artstyle
This show doesn’t look finished

I have not watched it in a while but I will give props to ok ko for being kinda different, give background characters an inkling of depth, reference shit properly and have better animation/character design then the entirety of SU. The bar is low but, could be worse

Enid's mom was unexpected, even i will admit. She gives me mexican Elvira/Morica vibes and throws the removal of tits/Ms bellum from ppg, argument, out the window as several other ok ko female characters are brick houses.

I never understood the hate for Omniverse as it felt more like the original series then the ben 10 in HS series with the same artstyle as most shows at that time.
The art style was a breath of fresh air, had cool aliens instead of using alien x every single time and Rook was fun. Like a slightly pg 13 lethal weapon/ men in black.

=Then again i grew up with the og series and was the age demographic of, grew up on samurai jack/dexter lab, and also in the toon lul of happy friendship shows and live action schlock.
