Please share with us some images that showcase your favourite videogame character designs! I'm speaking strictly from a visual/aesthetic standpoint, disregarding personality traits, which characters have always appealed to you simply because they LOOKED cool/funny/awesome?

They don't have to be only main characters or heroes either; supporting characters and/or enemies, bosses, and villains are welcome too, from the mega-popular to the hyper-obscure!

Let's try to stick to images of OFFICIAL art/renders/in-game shots (rather than 'fan art' and such).

Here's a few favorites off the top of my head:

Raikoh (Otogi)

And of course, the legendary Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden):

I could post a lot more but that's enough from me for now... let's see yours!

Reactions: DLC

Nice one, coincidentally I just started playing Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain yesterday, for the first time. Always wanted to check out the series. Definitely looking forward to Soul Reaver.

Henry Townshend (Silent Hill 4)

lolwut? He looks like an average joe. But that is one FINE head of hair! :tounge: Speaking of which, this guy's gotta be the coolest uniformed-cop in gaming:

Yeah, lol. He was awesome though. One of the most memorable characters in a game for me. He says "What the hell?" in like every cutscene and if you've ever played a Silent Hill game that's pretty much all you can say to yourself.

 
Epic do have some top tier character designer & modelers.
 
We need a favorite villain/boss in a game thread!

No worries mate, feel free to include those in here. I tried to make it clear in the second paragraph of the OP that it's acceptable to post any and all types of videogame characters with great visual design...

"They don't have to be only main characters or heroes either; supporting characters and/or enemies, bosses, and villains are welcome too, from the mega-popular to the hyper-obscure!"

Some guys have already posted classics like Pyramid Head, the Big Daddy, and Lilith, the menacing Locust Horde, and even the uncommon Tower Knight. Here's another one of my favs:

The Dahaka (Prince of Persia)

Oh, and can't forget this little dude:

Shyguy (Super Mario)

Dark Siders... *snip*

Hahah, the names are super damn close so you are forgiven, but I just wanted to clarify, that's actually DarkSTALKers :tounge: Good choice, that game has some great characters. One could just as easily go with Darksiders though anyways. I've always thought that game had awesome art, and War looks badass.
