i really love Ludwig's boss design, I don't think anything has ever evoked that kind of visceral disgust and pity at the same time as that beastly, shambling mess he'd become. you get this image of a shining knight on a noble steed, an imagery that is generally considered as heroic as it comes, and then... you twist it and turn it inside out.
fusing the knight together with his horse? that tangled mess of both of their limbs just dangling uselessly in the air? that morbid, human face stretched over a skull that is mutating into an animal skull? the damn eyeball-lined inside of the stump that was probably where the horse's actual head was?
brilliant. magnificent. terrifying. pitiful. amazing. my my heart aches so badly and it is so good, what a fucking GOOD DESIGN
