i dont know much about this stuff but i like looking at them. all of the ones in this post are from anime.
Hilda in Hols, Prince of the Sun - Yasuji Mori
comparing with the many rejected hilda designs really clarified why Mori’s final one (center) was necessary for such an emotionally distant character
Ojamajo Doremi - Yoshihiko Umakoshi… so many lol. tbh im more impressed by how many there are while being individually concisely characterized + perfectly suited to the needs of a long-running kid’s cartoon (easy to move funny and easy for kids to draw) but if i had to pick favs:
Nobuko
Reika
Kaori
Kayoko
Hana s4
missing a few like doremi s1-2 and hazuki s3-4 but currently not arsed to find more screencaps
Sachi in Labyrinth Labyrinthos - Atsuko Fukushima
The clown in Labyrinth Labyrinthos - Atsuko Fukushima
Kurenai Sanshiro - idk who
Warusa the 7th in Fight Da!! Pyuta - idk who
Akari Kamigishi in To Heart - Tooru Minazuki + Yuriko Chiba
mostly in love with the way Chiba does eyes.
Yasako in Dennou Coil - Mitsuo Iso + Takeshi Honda
ｓailor suit is my fav of her outfits because it’s cute and the fabric folds are super satisfying to watch in-show. also i recently found out that the same voice actress did Miu in strawberry marshmallow and it’s fucking with me

Ned Kelly
now there’s a fine thing
these boys designed and manufactured 4 sets, out of pilfered ploughs and beaten to shape in bush forges. terrified the police sent to murder them when they shot a man 5 times and he’d not even flinch let alone die

i love Moonlight Mask… his sunglasses add so much
went through some doll magazines looking for fun character designs a while back, i liked this one, the brand i believe is called a Tommy doll
the quarkmen / devilmen from the legend of valkyrie series, with the little eyes painted on their hoods
the old rubberwear site AtomAge has digitised scans of their issues from the 70s which have some tokusatsu looking outfits i like a lot.
basically anything where someone’s in both a mask and a suit, like Santo’s snazzy turtleneck outfits
