Description
There are many elements to an animated series. To name a few: character design, animation, plot, story world, the characters, storytelling, etc. All contribute to the quality of the show and all can range from excellent to absolute trash. There a few of these elements of Inu Yasha I really dislike, which I won't get into, and parts I do like, including all the old Japanese myths. But one of the things that bothers me intensely is how friggin ugly Sesshomaru is in his demon form. For some reason extreme power in non-human animals seems to be synonymous with a hideous appearance. For once I'd like to see some wicked, powerful beast that's got grace and attractive anatomy. So, at the risk of angering some great Inu Yasha deity (or a lot of demented fans), I've revamped him to something more my liking. I wasn't horribley interested in getting every little last detail and marking, although I think I have most of them. In any case, if I did get some little thing wrong I care about this much (pretend there's a little ass icon mooning you)
The sketch I worked off of is in my scrap here --> [link]

Nicely Drawn. Personally I didn't find how they drew his dog form to be that bad, however, you've officially made this form 10x cooler. XD

He looks like he's running away from something that will eventually catch up to him,like feelings or an overwhelming problem.

I really like THIS Sessi ^^
I also a fan of Inu yasha and you're right
the animal form is way better like this^^

Yeah, extreme power somehow became synonymous with extreme ugliness... Not quite sure how that happened, but I like your version of the demon.

Wow! This is AWESOME!!! I totally agree with on the whole "why did they make his dog form so ugly" bit. In the newest season (still in Japanese) they even show his mom and she is a fairly good looking dog. I love how you depict him.

I've always loved this pic; it's about time I faved it! It is exactly how I always felt Sesshoumaru's dog form should be; powerful and majestic and deadly (without being quite so..snarly).

I know how you feel, his anatomy is NOT attracting at ALL.
I mean, I have to love Sesshomaru, but when I try to draw him, the markings come out terrible.
I always hated doing the ears. I had no skills in long ears what-so-ever. So chya.
The fur on his back just makes him look weird, and so much more diffrent from his father. It somewhat annoys me. It's just odd.(damn those creators.)
When I do draw him, however, I silouette him against the moon, or something bright so I don't have to really put effort into the markings, and he comes out just fine.
Over all, looks nice. Love the eyes. Your markings came out great, I just couldn't help but wonder if you put the cresent marking in his snout, I mean, I could care less where you put it, it's your choice, but to me, it looks like scars or something.
And the foot fur is dashing. I love how he somewhat flows with the water, and how the moon lights his fur, just beautiful X3
Very wonderful. Saw the sketch for this, now THAT'S attractive anatomy.

THis isnt about Sessh himself, more than the moon is kinda dappled cause of the craters. Its just one of my pet peeves, sorry. 
And I have to agree about the demonic power=ugly factor. It only serves to reason that if Sesshomaru is handsome and graceful in his normal form, he should be every bit of that, if not more so, in his dog form. -prods Inuyasha artists- You did a much better job than they did-- oo.. I smell meatballs... ANYWAY, before I go off to gobble down meatballs, wonderful job and absolutely beautiful version of him.

Awesome! It looks wonderful, I love the waxy shade of the moon and I love the position that he's in...great job! ^^

it's so cool! i love it so much!

I love it! I feel the same way when it comes to good looking deamons! just cuz there evil or power driven dosent mean they have to be grotesque. you rule!

He sure is pretty. I like how you changed his appearance a little and made it much better, more graceful. Wish I could do light effects like that.

i agree, for a hot guy, sesshomaru looks too ugly in his demon form, they made him too bulky i think... i like your version better^^

Whoa, I love this pic! It shows a majestic and more mysterious side of my beloved Sesshomaru. Your picture is just so amazing and pretty. 0.0 Can't... Stop... Staring.........

This picture is unbeilably great.... many people who create art from the series InuYasha don't capture this side of Sesshomaru... well done

At the risk of P-ing you off, Sesshomuru is F-ing HOT! I don't see how you think he's ugly...anyways. I like your rendition of him in demon dogish form though too. lol.

Ooooooooooh.... that is just about as awesome as it gets. Beautiful background!

Awww <33 You make him look so cute in his demon form!!

I know this is really old for you, but just a comment, I think most of the ugliness you talked about in your comment is due to the fact that rumiko can't draw animals for shit XD All her animals look hidious. I like your version of the demon form tho. nice colors too

I love how you've added the grace and beauty of the moons glow against his fur.
Your right, power dosen't mean a true form is ugly and this is MUCH better ^w^
π: 0 β©: 0
I never really thought him ugly. I thought he was 'teh awesomeness' (to quote one of my friends) even in that single episode where you see Sesshie's dog form. Or...maybe I'm just a sucker for the canids.

This i very beautiful.... its looks so elegant and mystyious, i can't help but love it

Wow! This is the best pic of Sesshomaru dog-form that I have EVER seen! I agree with you, as much as I love Sesshomaru, they REALLY could do a better job on him in his dog form! This is ABSOLUTELY going to be a fave!!!
π: 0 β©: 0
wow this is very good!
i realy love it!
and i also agree that wen sesshomaru is in that form well..he dose not look that good ^^
but wen u did that drawing well that is wat they should off done him as lol
well keep up the good job! ^^

i love the way you made him look strong yet elegant at the same time i hate how clumsy his real true form looks when in his huminoid form he seems so graceful.
