Mesmerizingly beautiful, I am lost for words as I stare at his perfect face. The delicate moon on his forehead in opposition with the crisp lines on his jagged, slim cheekbone. His nose is flawless, as is everything else. His eyes draw in your gaze, their lumicent glow pierce you heart, taking your breath away. The shading is realistic, no, beyond realistic.I can find no flaws in this "picture from heaven".

Sesshomaru in this picture is more beautiful than a god. He stands out from the background, but the background still welcomes you. The moon is barely visible, like the real moon. The clouds, ominous, hang over the dark sky, The forest, with details hard to see. The grass, bending to the wind.

This picture is flawless.

The colors are wonderful. The style is amazing. And you even drew him without his left arm, which very few people do. I've never really liked the look of anime people in realistic style... But with this picture it fits very well. Although the direction of the light is a little confusing. You can see the moon in the back, but the light is coming from in front of him, and in the opposite direction of the moon. The hilt of the Tenseiga is a little short. His eyes need to be less orange and more yellow. The crescent on his forehead is not supposed to be tilted, and the marks on the sides of his face need to be a little bit longer. But other than what I said. It is very well done, and fits Sesshomaru very well.

Gorgeous, fantastic lighting, I love the moonlight on his hair, and his robe. His eyes just send shivers through me.

Make no mistake, he's dashing and dangerous! I'd be interested to see who would win out of him and Vampire Hunter D!

It would be a battle that would be written in stone for certain!
