What character designs do you like the most? Anything that's caught your eye lately? I'll be honest: I'm making this thread just as an excuse to talk about the Fume Knight, aka Raime, from Dark Souls II's Crown of the Iron King DLC.

I just find this design immensely cool. I don't know what specifically, but something special strikes me in this design, and in a game filled with "Dude in armor" bosses, that's definitely saying something. Maybe it's his silhouette, this tall, lanky guy who still wields the biggest sword in the game, perhaps the entire series. Maybe it's how he looks like he's been burnt to a crisp, armour blackened and clothes tattered, that makes him all the more frightening. What I definitely like is his helmet: it doesn't look right. It looks like it's been bent and beaten out of shape until it looks like something that would be no use to a human. That big-ass sword which I believe is supposed to be, or at least look like, cooled down lava, certainly doesn't hurt. He's also become one of my favorite boss fights in the game, despite being proven to be the toughest fight in the game in terms of how many attempts players need to defeat him.
Normally I don't think about this kind of stuff at all, but this I wanted to share. What would your picks be?
