What Are The Worst Character Designs You Have Ever Seen?

The "tots" from Tots TV always used to creep me out a little. The odd voices and movements didn't help.

They're like a bad character design factory.

There was something oddly familiar about Boobah that I couldn't quite put my finger on. Then it hit me...

Man the Worms really hit a low in their career before arriving at Gorkhon. I'm glad they could settle in the end though. Jesus.

There's eldritch angels and then there's whatever the hell this is supposed to be.
If you really wanted to make an angel eldritch, you ought to go all in. Flaming wheels, multi-headed humanoids, abstract shapes, the works. This dips too much into the human camp to make it eldritch.
 
I could be here all day sperging out about Fate: Grand Order's inconsistent character design, but here's what I consider to be one of the worst ones:View attachment 1119388
It's a shame since I like her design when she's in the cloak.
Oh yeah, THAT... me and my friends have just been calling her Jack The Stripper. I love Fate but sometimes it's just painfully stupid and super inconsistent.
 
I love how SMT has the best of both worlds when it comes to both the pretty human kind of angels with Power and Principality as examples, and the "inhuman strikes fear into the sinners heart" type with Seraph and Throne as examples.
But if i had to name my least favorite angel design in SMT it would probably be the designs of Gabriel, Uriel, Michael and Raphael in SMTIV. As designs i actually don't dislike them, but as a whole they are kind of hard to differentiate from one another, specially compared to their old designs.

The old designs have a personality and emotion expressed by their own poses and facial expressions, making it way easier to know who is who.
Meanwhile, although the new designs are more in line with actual angels, they all just feel samey to one another, and if i didn't organize them in the same order i put their names above, i honestly wouldn't know who is who.

Are its arms growing out of its tits? And why is it giving EVE from WALL-E a piggyback ride?

The new angel designs look like something that would be hanging on the wall of a tattoo parlor in the 1970's. My brother used to have comic books that had T-shirt catalogs in the back of them, and along with rock band logos, cartoons of Rat Fink and dirty slogans, you'd see artwork like this featured.

I do have a soft spot for Michael's though
 
Do cursded gun images count? 'Cause this shit...

Zip 22 with a fucking drum mag. Because I want both the mag and the gun to jam 50 times in a row. Also kek at that scope.

This fellow is living his best life and I suport him. But I hope he notices that gun needs a good stock. With that caliber he's gonna fuck his wrist and with that length there's no point in not having one.

ksxhlq5yskv41.jpg


I'm fairly sure this one doesn't even work. Correct me if I'm wrong but that thing above the trigger looks to me like it's rhe trigger group. Which would mean the bullets are BEHIND the firing pin. So either this thing doesn't shoot at all or it's shooting backwards. Either way, not a desirable outcome when operating a gun.

Bullpup AKs in general are just an exercice in overcomplicating one of the simplest guns our there. But at least you could argue the AK looks cool as fuck so if you do a good job with the conversion it can be pretty great. But this one just covers the AK in this shell of black plasti shite. This is a bad idea.

7xqk9kdawuu41.jpg


The worst part about this last one is perfectly good rifles were butchered to make it. So for those that don't know, rifle grenades in general were a bad idea. They used bullets to proper nades that were affixed to the front of the gun in an attempt to create portable mortars. They died because they were unreliable, damaged the gun, needed the soldier to SHOOT AT AN EXPLOSIVE THAT IS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO HIMSELF and the light mortar was just the same with none of the drawbacks. Well these fuckers just cut guns into only the trigger group to try and make rifle grenades without the rifle, nullifying all of the advantages of being a mortar-like-weapon without any of the advantages of regular grenades. You know, for people who crave death.

This is one of those "the more you look the worse it gets" sure, everyone can see the tacticool nonesense upfront. But wait until you see the stock, or the lever telling you what it actually is. This is just not ok.

Thankfully this gun can't work because it lacks a firing pin and the mag feeds straight into a block of iron. Poor Sturmgewher though. German Kiwis avert thine eyes from this heresy.

corqchj9lls41.jpg


Can someone tell me if this even works? I don't know what would be worse. If this conversion was just aesthetics and the poor gun's been slain gratuituously of if they seriously managed to modify the cannon and feeding mechanism to create this abomination.

And don't get me started on California Compliance.

Look. Spanish gun laws suck even harder. So I won't act like we're any better. But god damn. Is it so much to ask that politicians issue limits on shit that actually matters. Like caliber, auto/semi, and wethere it is concealed or not. And then STOP ISSUING ANY FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS INSTEAD OF BANNING STUPID SHIT LIKE VERTICAL FOREGRIPS?! It can't be that hard!

I know next to nothing about guns, and a lot of those look terrible to me. Half of them look like they would blow up your hand.
 
I know next to nothing about guns, and a lot of those look terrible to me. Half of them look like they would blow up your hand.

For a guide on what would blow up on your hand:

1-the zip 22 uses 22lr, so chances of blowing up are very low because that caliber is pathetic. That said. Drum mags are awful. Just in general, only the PPsH made it work. More info on that here:


And the zip22 itself is infamous for being a jammy piece of crap with some horrifyingly bad security features. Most notable for making gun jesus (ian) himself proclaim "I don't even know what that malfunction's called", more info on that here:


So they grabbed a gun that already jams like a motherfucker and added a mag that causes even good guns to jam every other shot. And then stuck a long range scope despite being a one handed weapon with notoriously poor handling and short barrel. Yeah that gun won't explode on your hand, but it also won't shoot and even if it does aiming it would be paingul.

2-The second gun's just a normal pistol. They just added assault rifle style twin scopes in a way that already places the first one too high to begin with, then added a knife that fucks with the balance and an extra-long mag. The mag and gun are fine so it's ok on the actual reliability. But forget about aiming with it and pistol bayonets are stupid. If it was just the pistol and mag it'd be much better.

3-I also don't know if this one'd pop. That mag is 22lr so I'm guessing it wouldn't, though it'd jam. But either way that thing doesn't look like the trigger group is even connected to the trigger (so it wouldn't even fire) and I have trouble knowing wtf I'm looking at. So... yeah who knows.

4-that gigarevolver won't explode on your face, but revolvers have no gas port, meaning they have a lot more recoil than normal guns, on top of that the gun seems to have a really high caliber. Like those chambers are for rifle ammo that ain't no handgun load. So that gun's gonna push all of that already excessive recoil straight into whoever is holding it. Now, with a stock it'd pull all that into his shoulder, which is still fucked up unless it's got recoil compensation. But with only a pistol grip that recoil would go straight to his wrist. So the gun itself might not explode but firing it will hurt. Now, handguns that hurt to fire aren't new. Ask the US army how adopting the Deagle went. But with a cannon that long there's no point in not having a stock. It's so hypercompensatingly pointless not to have one.

5-as said on the main post. Depending on wether the trigger group is right side forward or backwards that gun's either not gonna shoot at all 'cause the bullet would be behind the lever, meaning the hammer would move away from the bullet instead of striking it, or the hammer will go to the bullet and shoot it backwards. So it won't explode, but it might shoot the user and it certainly won't shoot the target.

6-that sadly won't explode. It's just a plastic case with a trigger connected to the regular trigger so it's as safe as a regular AK. But honestly I'd rather it did blow up. Because that is in the poorest of tastes. It ruins everything good about the AK in an attempt to bullpup it because bullpups are trendy.

7-this thing definitely will explode in your hand. The purpose of that cup is to contain the explosion. But the point of rifle nades (the regular kind) is that the rifle's stock is put against the ground to push the recoil down and help aiming. These looneys have cut the whole damned gun so the whole recoil would go straight into the shooter's wrist, and you don't get a stable support to aim it. It just makes a weapon that was already unreliable and prone to blowing up on the shooter's hand and they made it objectively worse in every way.

8-that again opperates like a normal rifle, but they grabbed a beautiful oldschool wooden lever hunting rifle, painted it black, glued it full of tacticool shit, and then just to finish off this bubba shit, they cut off the original stock just to glue to it a modern plastic shite that due to how they added it winds up going diagonal instead of straight, meaning either you'd have to grip it with your inner arm or if you actually try to put it on your shoulder it'd lift the gun too high to aim with it, unless you're andre the fucking giant I guess. Overall, I'd say it exploding would be preferrable to it's poor fate. It's like seeing a war hero tortured into being unable to even speak. So sad you don't know if it'd be better to try and help them live the rest of their lifes best as they can or it'd be more merciful to just old yeller them and stop their suffering.

9-that's a sturmgewher, the assault rifle of nazi germany, except someone tried to glue the mag to the handle as if it was a pistol, which is not how rifles work so that thing won't feed, and then completely cut off the actual lever and chamber, meaning that barrel is just a tube with no mechanisms. So this gun has already been put out of its missery, it won't work at all, but it's still sad to see such a historically important rifle reduced to this. That gun proudly defended berlin just to end in some crazy redneck's shed of horrors!!!!

10-man I have no fucking clue. They kinda destroyed the gas tube (meaning that shit doesn't have any recoil compensation, great idea!) To stick a p-90 mag on top of the barrel into a rifle that as the mag well under it shows is meant to feed from underneath. Shit is, if you completely rework the trigger and feeding mechanisms you might just get it working, so this might work. If that is done poorly it might also explode indeed. Most likely the change is just aesthetic and the gun doesn't work at all. At least I'm praying it is!
 
This shit is written by feminists who are jealous of beautiful women and soyboy males who want to get in the feminists' pants. Since most feminists are built like dumpy wine aunts, they're gonna try to push the dumpy wine aunt look on every female character they can, just so they can normalize said look and have a chance at getting an attractive man.

Bullcrap. Do you really think they care when you tell them "Hurr durr ur just jealous!!!1" No one gives a shit about degenerates reeeing that they can't jerk off to cartoon characters.

It's a hypocritical pseudo religion disguised as social justice activism. Do you think christians and mudslimes are jealous of beautiful women when they demand women to dress modestly/cover themselves?? Hell no.

Of course it's not an actual religion. But the concepts are very similar like every man becoming a dangerous, sex obsessed braindead animal when looking at the female form.

But on the other hand these people ARE sexualizing fictional characters as long as they aren't straight, white, thin, able bodied etc. It's really hypocritical.

I was thinking of something along the lines of Sailer’s Law of Female Journalism: The most heartfelt articles by female journalists tend to be demands that social values be overturned in order that, Come the Revolution, the journalist herself will be considered hotter-looking.

Only in this case, it's Feminist showrunners making characters look dumpy in order to (a) make "dumpiness" an attractive trait, and to (b), keep heterosexual men from enjoying their cheesecake (probably because they think All Men Are Rapists.)

The thing is, that redesign of the Dark Queen would probably look a lot better if she had a stockier body type (with better proportions) and a costume that showed it off well. I'm sure most men would prefer a more "realistic" Dark Queen if she had a costume that complemented her figure instead of covering it up. And the costume doesn't even have to be all that revealing either. This whole "turning her into a Shego clone with no chest and every inch of her body covered" design seems like a reaction against the Dark Queen's original "Generic Cheesecake Fantasy Villainess #275" design.
