I think the high heels on the boots, the neckbuckle (which screams BDSM) and the black-feathered/furred boa ruined it.  The armor wasn't that bad.  I'd still take the single-pauldron brown armor and blonde hair and conan boots from the original design instead (anyday).

And on top of that... he bears no resemblance to the other Belmonts at all. XD  Even Juste looks like Leon, but redesigned Simon?

I don't know.  If you ask me, the Trevor from CoD was the best example of what a Belmont should be.  He was buff, but not overly muscular and his clothing reflected the times.

Trevor has one of the best Belmont designs Kojima came up with for this reason, imo.  When I first saw her design for him I was like...

Quote
Regarding an incubus, he should be a "pretty boy".  After all, if an incubus is the male equivalent of a succubus (as we all know) then he should be attractive to women and from what I know, most women like pretty boys.

I agree.  He shouldn't look like a 'pushover,' though... there should be something about his design that exudes danger.

Maybe he could wear a black loincloth with boots and gloves, and have tattooos marking his body? Maybe throw in a black leather armband or two.

That sounds like what Isaac form CoD would wear to bed. XD

... Well, you know how the succubi are often disguised in these games?  Like the succubus in LoI?  The incubus could start out disguised as a human, perhaps robed/cloaked.

I imagine it would wear something like a cross between these two:

Only the clothing should be studded with spikes.  An incubus should be attractive, but intimidating... and not look like an S&M sub.  Go for the dom look while accounting for the wings.

lol OK, maybe that was a bad example I had.  :P

I think an incubus should dress revealing like the succubus, but the clothes should still be something contemporary with Europe in the old days. Succubi often wear corsets, what is something a male incubus could wear that's kind of like that only more masculine?

why would demons with the intent of having sex have clothes anyway
i dont see why he should be attractive anyway when unlike the succubus, incubi tended to rape rather than seduce

otherwise,
loincloth

Because even demons know that just because you're an immortal being of pure evil who loves to steal the souls of humans to take to hell doesn't mean that you can't look stylish while doing it.  ;D

Succubi are rapists, too. :/  The myth is that they are responsible for wet dreams, which would be non-consensual.

That said, if you're a being that thrives off of sexual energies of humans it doesn't make evolutionary sense to be unattractive to your prey or at least not even bother to appear so (illusions, which succubi have already been shown to use, so why not incubi); the same argument has been made for vampires but I would argue that it has more prevalence when talking about succubi and incubi.

Also, we already have naked male demons in the series:

And I don't know about anyone else, but that monster just made me laugh.

Speaking of myth in legend... IIRC in all of my years of research and general interest in mythical creatures, demons, spirits and monsters I have only ever recalled incubii describes as hideous counterparts to succubi who forcefully molest and rape women in their dreams. That said, it would be interesting to have me appear attractive at first just to find out it was some sort of illusion hiding my truly horrible nature.
