Topic: Chronicles Simon

[Sumac]

The color scheme is too bright, the overdose of leather, that fur... thing over his shoulder, the kojimaface, the slender build that makes him look even LESS masculine than other Kojima men and well. It's not Simon, it's BDSimon

Agree with you on most accounts. Especially on the colour scheme and overdose of the leather.
And thanks for introducing new name for this "Simon" - now I will call him BDSiMon.

I don't mind Kojima's Simon's appearance, though, I would prefer him with brown or blonde hair. It's his atrocious outfit that I can't stand. Not only is it an eyesore but it doesn't even make sense.

Thought this was interesting, but Konami still acknowledges the original design for Simon in their new Sound Voltex Booths. This appears as artwork for the Vampire Killer remix in the game.

Wow, that design is pretty cool. It is inspired by his barbarian appearance, but he looks a bit handsome too.

And they kept the ONE shoulderpad from the Ayami design. Oh Konami.

Now THAT'S Simon Belmont! Awesome pic.

oh, a little asymmetry is always okay. though, it's kinda weird all the extra details like the armlet, where the belt wraps from the top, longer hair, and shoulder pad are all on the right, uh. there's a sheath at least.

lern to balance, simon

Now that's true Simon Belmont - brown clothing and hair, muscles, overall manly and badass look, while without the testosterone overdose. Much better than weird clothes and the testosterone shortage of BDSiMon.

Hideo Kojima: Not bad, but please change the face, so it is become more relatable.

The single shoulderpad has been there since Akumajo Dracula X68000.  You can see it in the ending in big sprite form, and the booklet artwork also has it.
He also has a badass vamp-fang tooth necklace.  Of badassness. :3

I never even noticed that was there.

Interesting.

So it's the other way around then I guess.
