Nier's kinda monochrome, but his varied textures and asymmetry keep him interesting. I've yet to try that gloss technique, but it looks really good on the updated Fulgore. Anubis is badass. He was my favorite character in the series when I watched it about 10,000 years ago. Ash from Evil Dead 2 (my favorite zombie) is pretty cool too. Would it be possible to add a second gear to so that the chainsaw has more blades? If you have the sticker slots, you should consider adding some to the chainsaw box too. Rei is exceptionally good. You made good use of the stickers in simulating extra layers of clothing. His patterns are subtle and tasteful.
Moving on to your originals. I like Atma in formal attire alot. The aristocratic demon look is full of potential. I can picture her sipping the blood of her victims in a goblet at a demon banquet. However, I would downplay the demonic aspect and bring out the classy aspect. I would also cut down on some of the patterns. Your Soul Calibur fairy is absolutely splendid for reasons I've already listed on the challenge thread.
I recommend shifting your OC focus away from the demonic. Your gallery demonstrates an eccentric personality and sense of humor that I believe you could capitalize more on. Try going for some quirkier character archetypes, or give your hero-knight or evil demon some fun twist. I'd also prefer to see more female OCs.
I hope to find time later to give more detailed feedback.
P.S. Don't mind Vilar's comments too much. As skilled as he is, he's somewhat vain and loath to give sensible advice.

Thanks! aaaaaaaaaaaand you just reminded me that I had made an updated Nier collage and apparently deleted it before uploading. Fffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuu--

If I could do these things, I would do it all in a heartbeat! Unfortunately, my slots are taken up by the chainsaw Box, Blade, and his Boomstick. If it didn't add so much to his credibility, I would certainly skip out on the boomstick for more chainsaw parts, but alas...
Also, can't add stickers to special equipment (such a bummer)

I know, I know, demons are rather cliche, but it's really just 2 characters that I love to mess around in SC editors with (back when I came up with her, SC3 helped me flesh out a good outfit for her, and she used to be Zasalamel but...well, a lot of that is gone now. I miss my scythe). I've got stories and whatnot about them, but I don't like to bore people with that stuff and feel like the character ought to carry its own weight for the most part (a little explanation doesn't hurt). To make a long story short, Maska and Atma were created to be very brutal and primal. Dharrion is my friend's character, these are part of our "must make in every Soul Calibur EVER" list. I'll hopefully get around to making more originals soon, I'm just particularly attached to these ;D

The visor is a pretty common trick, someone actually suggested it back on GameFAQS before I made my thread here, I just didn't like the idea so much back then. The great helm is strangely a tiny bit asymmetrical which made placing the halo well enough to make me happy a huge pain in the ass.
Yup, still waiting to see more of your KI creations ;) Jago was pretty cool
There are a lot a great recreations here, especially Dark Enoch and Fulgore. I have already made a shameless copy of your Fulgore design with the cow pattern to give the metal a worn look. I know it is not as true to the original design, however I think it looks better in-game. This is also the first CaS that made me appreciate the crappy voice manipulation in this game, since the resulting robotic voice fit perfectly.

Thank you, I'm happy to hear this! I'd like to see him, it's interesting to see artistic differences. I myself feel like Fulgore is a well-oiled, clean and efficient fighting machine, but a dirty gritty version sounds cool too. You're making me think about adding blood splatter effects on him now...maybe even green (a common blood color back then!).
And yeah, the robotic voices are often REALLY frustrating (I've learned to NOT TOUCH the pitch), but when it fits, it fits.
Indeed, L4D has some cool stuff as well! btw, your Hyoga's picture is currently a link rather than a pic
NEW STUFF:
Guts, Berserk Armor (BERSERK)
Okay, I am easily the pickiest person when it comes to tearing apart Guts CAS. There are a million of them out there, some good, a LOT of bad ones, but looking at what I would change to some Berserk Armor creations, I decided to go and make my own. I still stand by the fact that Berserk Armor cannot be accurately re-created, but I feel like I've made the best attempt so far (that I've seen). He is now one of my favorite characters to use in the game!
Used Siegfried 3P instead of a from-scratch CAS, as Sieg has the perfect attitude and dialogue for Guts. His face scar is inaccurate and making his closed eye is very difficult on Sieg's head (not to mention I don't have a perfect number for his skin tone), and he looks rather top-heavy (this is debatable though when it comes to this armor, he can look really thin from the waist down while wearing it) but he looks fantastic during a battle, much better than is shown in creation mode.
*Note that I used all 6 small stickers on Pockets around the legs/torso. Will try to add blood effects using the 2 large stickers
UPDATES Made to old characters (fixed all of the following on the first post as well):
Nier, Major Glory, Jackie Estacado, Ronin Warriros CAS, Gene Starwind

It seems that our differing views of Fulgore have led to the different texture choices. I tend to remember Killer Instinct as old, clunky, and gritty. So it seemed fitting to make my version of your Fulgore look old and abandoned.
Well done! You're doing you're very best on recapturing the childhood that was lost. These 2 look cool. Pocky Yoshi is impressed. Guess it couldn't hurt to follow this thread. If I didn't make much responses, it just means I didn't find it intriguing. But there were a few that intrigued me. But sometimes, you did catch me interest. Especially the Ronin warrior. But I think a Mitsu style would be more fitting imho.

He posted like, 5 or 6 images, and each one had it's own post XD
Hey I really wanted to see someone trying to do Asura from Asura's Wrath... wanna try?
It's on my list, but there's so many characters to get there XD (yes I have a list, around 150+ characters for now...)
You have so many good ideas, I wanna see If you can do something to inspire me XD
