That version of conker looks ultra deformed..
 
Having played mobages / japanese games for a good while now, you're exposed to a lot of character designs, most of which are pretty fanservice-y. Some are okay but forgettable, others are really good and stand out.

However, there's some designs that are very .... er...

I'm sure this has been stated already (and stated multiple times already), but the animation and character designs for ThunderCats Roar are nothing short of an abomination.

In fact, most of the shit on Cartoon Network looks terrible these days.

Beanmouth, m8. It's a big fucking mistake.

Being serious, CN's predicament with this wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't the only art style they're visibly using for a majority of their stuff. I'm no nostalgia sperg, but I do miss seeing numerous artstyles, both old and new, from the 90s, 00s, and early 10s, when variety in such WAS A thing and one you could hopefully be proud to indulge in.

What makes this worse is how the previous Looney Tunes production, The Looney Tunes Show, still managed to have good character designs despite using flash.

I don't believe they used flash on The Looney Tunes Show. At least, it didn't look quite like the usual flash look to me.
 
I think my point still stands; They were able to make decent character designs despite the limited budget that television cartoons normally have.
I suppose, though it is interesting to point out the same character designer was involved with both shows (Jessica Borutski). I didn't think there was much problem with the "New Looney Tunes" series as I didn't mind the revamped look they went with (at least Daffy is Daffy this time around).
