I liked Gabriel (LoS1) and Trevor's design. Not a fan of Simon's at all. Alucard isn't bad. LoS excels in environmental art mostly.

Overall I like Kojima's character designs more though.

I like PoR and OoE artworks, but I guess I'm the only one.
And so far no one mentioned the Judgment designs. From what I've read so far, those are the ones fans dislike the most. I dislike some of them (Eric, Death), but some of them I like them (Shanoa, Maria, Sypha, even Aeon).
Now I'm tired, eternally walking... forever dying, and never stopping. I feel in sorrow, all I see is white. I’m following a blind way beneath a sad sky.

Really? I thought this design was a great nod to his history. he looks like a barbarian, but retains the red hair that's become iconic on him. And they give him a beard to further the more barbarian aspect. In fact, They outright made him a barbarian storywise too, which was (IMO) great.

Maybe if he didn't have giant random face armor. Still not digging the beard either, unless it was a Gabriel sized one.

Simon is a ginger. He has no soul.  :-X

Simon should look like Conan or He-Man. That's how I perceive him. But in MoF he looked like an ape.
I didn't like Alucard design, either. He needs to be prettiest than that.
But I DID like Gabriel and Zobek designs from the first game, and I REALLY love Trevor design from MoF.
I think it's the best MS artists have done so far with CV, according to my taste, of course.

Kojima's version is how I view Alucard in my head.
But then again, this is like an AU so, MS can do as they please.

Gabriel, Zobek, Carmilla, these are the ones that standout the most for me.

In MoF, Simon and Trevor. Alucard looks a lot worse than in LoS2, for some reason...

And for LoS 2, Alucard and Gabriel so far.

I don't know, as a big Alucard fan of from the previous series I must say that I think MS did a good job (design wise) in this reboot of Alucard.

Especially his look from LOS2.

In Mirror of Fate however he did not look all that well, but I think that was due to the hardware.

Ugh... If only they would have put MOF on the vita and used the D pad for movement instead of the friggin analog stick. That game could have been so much better.

Hand held was definitely not the system for the game.

Montoya and Flame are right, MoF should have been for a home console, and it would have been SO MUCH better.
But, all in all, I considered it an improvement in terms of how I perceived it about being Castlevania.
Beautiful backgrounds, nice stage designs and good characters, supported with a great story. Spoiled, that's right, but great anyway.
What I didn't like: the music, the fact that exploring and combat are separated, the infinite checkpoints and super easy difficulty and some designs. But I loved Trevor.
And I mean... really, I LOVE HIS LOOK. This Trevor is so much better than the old one.
Alucard, on the other hand, lacked in several aspects (beauty, warrior appearance, elegance...), but that improved in LoS 2 from what I've seen.
Still, give the pretty old Alucard anytime.

I... Kinda felt he looked really close to the original Trevor. I mean, aside from colors, there isn't much radically different about his design.

You're not gonna like this:

The game worked out really well. i can't give any numbers but it's (sold) far beyond our expectations. We are very satisfied with the results and even before the game was on sale we already thought it was a good game. We liked what our team had done
