Description I spent way too much time on this...but I think it worked out pretty well.

Devil May Cry is such an epic series. Dante is a great main character and plain and simply a fun, but still well developed character. Seeing how Dante changed from Devil May Cry 3 to Devil May Cry, then Devil May Cry 4 is pretty cool. The original look, which I drew here, is the most classic to me.
I'm not fan of the Dante from DMC: Devil May Cry. He kind of comes across as being designed as being everything Dante shouldn't be, like they went out of their way to. As Hideki Kamiya said (in his Engrish lol): "I gave "Stylishly run with long coat", "British guy" and "Doesn't smoke cigarette". Long coat is I just wanted to put something showy on character. British guy is I wanted for Dante to be not only a fighting man, witty and traditional fighting man. About cigarette, this is simple, I just thought man without cigarette is cool."

I really hope original Dante makes it into MVC: Infinite! I have a ton of Capcom character artwork planned as well, see watch if you'd like to see more of my work!

For those interested in my method, I started with 2H mechanical pencil on marker paper, then inked with sakura pigma multiliners 0.05, 0.1 and copic ciao black. I then scanned and coloured on photoshop CS6 with a Wacom Intuos.

Come to think of it, here's something about Devil May Cry that ALWAYS bothered me.



Why didn't Dante keep Sparda, you know HIS FATHER'S SWORD?! Why is Trish the one who uses it?

Well if I had to give an out of universe reason: game mechanics. In universe, I think either its because Dante likes a challenge, so he doesn't want to feel too overpowered so he can have his fun, and I think he cares for Trish to the point that he would entrust her with his most powerful weapon, and he probably gave it her as a gift of appreciation of her. Also, she looks like his Mom as well. Thats just my opinion really

Because it's too much power for him to control he would had lost his humanity if he used it.

A lot of the time it was Chris, Vergil and X-23, but I switch for Amaterasu, Morrigan and Ghost Rider at times.

I really like X-23's speed. She can really keep up the pressure

totally ^.^ And Dante has a variety of moves to use that make it difficult for the other person to follow. Along with Vergil who could teleport. Though his taunt made it easy for him to get killed XD
