The way garou(the man in the cover) pose makes a skull that also looks really intimidating is so cool. His spiky hair gives the skull fang like teeth and the feet make the bottom fangs too. Also the pose isn't too forced in a way that it would feel random because it's just garou stretching and from this angle it looks like a skull.
A year ago, I asked Yoracrab on X for a commission. He has a series of art pieces called "Girls Obsessed With", depicting women who are...well, obsessed with something, and their attire, hair color, and possessions make that clear.
I'm a fan of horror mangaka Junji Ito (although my favorite horror mangaka is Masaya Hokazono). But Ito is pretty much the Stephen King of Japan, so he has a lot more official merch.
This girl has not only several Junji Ito manga in her arm, but also a Tomie t-shirt, Uzumaki socks and a necklace, but also a Slug Girl necklace, and tattoos of the planet Remina from "Hellstar Remina" and the shark from "Gyo". She also has the logo for Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre tattooed on her arm.
Dancer turned warrior, she lost her arm to a snake attack while escaping her captors but ties a shield around the stump to keep on fighting, she's super badass!
She's one of the strongest characters in the game if you use her right, and I love how her design has light clothes without really being sexualized at all.

The designs seem fascinating to me, how they represent the concepts on which they are based and their out of tune with the rest of the characters.
Now, I love spectacular spiderman, it's my favorite spiderman adaptation and it has sick character designs, but man, I can't get over the furry Kraven.
To me, part of the appeal of Kraven is the fact that he's a human being with no superpowers and is capable of rivaling spiderman using weapons, kind of the same appeal Batman has compared to some of his villain gallery. However, making Kraven a lion hybrid thing kind of kills the appeal for me, no cool hunting weapons, no interesting tracking methods, it's just another mutant man-animal Peter fights, and the design just isn't that good compared to his human form.
Edit: I forgot, he does have powers but they're subtle stuff like super strength, agility, etc. it still loses some of the appeal when you make him a furry
Was Originally supposed to be the Protagonist of Alien Headbutt (DAMN YOU WSJ EDITORS WHY DID YOU CHANGE IT FROM PEAK!?)
She is the family’s pet goat turned into a demon human who helps the MC
Picture 1 is the original concept (would have been PEAK)
Picture 2,3,4 are her from the manga after meeting the MC again (he’s a Wrestler heel trying to free the island from an alien invasion)
Picture 5 in the Volume 2 Cover. (It has been cancelled)
I enjoyed the series but admit the OG concept was way cooler IMHO. Or even if they introduced her earlier on (like chapter 1 or 2) it would have helped.
I feel like Fera did a great job in capturing Doey’s heft!
And yes, it MAY be a bit of a bias because I like chubby characters, but then again, doesn’t everyone have a bias for their fave designs?
Idk I just think he looks really cool. It’s my favorite electro design
Such an upgrade from the comics. Adrian Toomes is intimidating, feels powerful, and genuinely feels like the perfect street or at the very least town level villain. His design makes him feel less like a villain and more a monster. The classic Vulture design isn’t exactly the coolest thing alive so this is just a massive upgrade from that
Love the unique skull shape of his head as well as the fact you can see the dark magic he uses in his arms and inside his ribcage. Plus the giant canon mounted on his shoulder is sick.
First of all, Gabu is best boy.
Second, I love his design. His head is just a giant eye which is inside a metal mouth? I think? I've never seen a design like that in any character before. I love how he's so overly top heavy and has tiny legs but giant arms, one of which is a fuckeverythinginthatdirectionbeam, and the other being what I can only describe as a pair of tweezers. Plus he has a giant cloak, which is a nice touch.
Idk what's going on with his torso. He kinda looks like a shaman.
Kinda wish a White Whistle found him and awakened him. It'd be neat to see what he'd look like.
Images 1-8. Lohumlagaha in his true form.
Images 9-15. Lohumlagaha in various transformations.
While Lohumlagaha’s design experiences a lot of variation and changes throughout the Manwha. I really love the visual elements that are kept throughout the changes, there just these few visual design motifs that are never wholly absent regardless of each of his forms. Whether it be his specific shade of eldritch green, his broken helmet, or his Hindu/Buddhist inspired poses. Every transformation is both wholly unique while also keeping elements of each other in them all that keeps his eldritch otherness from fully leaving.
I just love how his shapeshifting both shows the adaptability of his character while also showing how despite his many forms the underlying character of them all never truly changes. He’s still the Cosmic Tyrant of Graymark’s Universe.
I dunno why but all of Sigma’s designs just hit a spot in my brain that just makes me like them. Maverick Hunter X and his base X8 design specially for some reason. The colors, the spikes, the Knee high boots… And of course: That slap-able bald ass head he has in EVERY design
I’ll admit that Megaman X3’s… oddly round design is kinda hit or miss… And that X7’s was… It exists
But I like pretty much all of them! Even X8’s Devilmon sigma and 5X’s affectionally nicknamed Hobo Sigma do have their charm! And the Og design holds up surprisingly well!
But what do you guys think about this Sigma who just happens to be a male?
The jungle warrior woman trope is long dead and needs to be revived. This design does that very well, along with capturing the feel of a modern cartoon and saturday morning one from the 80's. I love how floofy her hair is and her smile is very charming.
"A man from the east had acquired power. Real power--beyond brute strength, or deadly weapons. Beyond technology, or gimmicks... It's the power all humans have, but few learn to harness. It subdues all enemies with the sheer force of its will. When fighters who wield this clash, the battle is epic. They see it in each other, and form a brotherhood. It becomes a test of their souls. Maybe someday we'll be the spectators of such a battle."

Aria's design is my favorite among the Dazzlings
Compared to the other two, she stands out as the "edgy" one, especially with her bored, irritated, and deadpan expressions.
My favorite elements of her design are her hairstyle (twin pigtails with star clips), the green vest with its ripped sleeves, the star belt, and the arm bracers.
The overall vibe I get is that she looks like she could be a teen pop singer in the early 2000s (like Christina or Britney), or maybe even a vocaloid.
Funny enough, Aria often gets compared to Starlight Glimmer (both the latter's pony and human forms).
