Dante's
appearance changes from game to game, from concept art
to renders, from manga to novel, so his exact features
are left to the imagination. There is certainly a
plethora of fan art out there, each with their own
take on Dante's look. He is very lean and toned, but I
would not go so far as to call him muscular. The way I see it, picture the
most perfect white-haired being you can imagine, and
you'll be right on.
Here is a general rundown of his various incarnations:
|
|
...Devil May
Cry 1 Dante
Very decent looking. Not too young, not too
old. Obviously the first version everybody falls in
love with. His outfit is stylish and modest.
|
|
...Devil May
Cry 2 Dante
I like what they did with his hair, but
everything else? Yieek... He looks old, his skin is
terrible, and the outfit isn't even a full
trench-coat! My least favorite of his designs.
|
|
...Devil May
Cry 3 Dante
A much appreciated younger Dante who looks
really hot from most angles of the cinematics. My
definite favorite of the three games. His main outfit
is my favorite of the three, too, not to mention that
there's shirtless costumes.

...Devil May
Cry 4 Dante
Yes, he's not the main character. Yes, he has a
five o'clock shadow. But somehow, this picture makes it all
worthwhile!! *_* Dante is stylish and sexy, as always, but
perhaps his most prominent feature in DMC4 are his piercing
eyes.

...Viewtiful
Joe Dante
Although you can play him in his undies and
it's a fun game, it is a chibi (cutesy, big head on
small body) version of DMC1 Dante, and I am not
partial to chibis.
|
|
...Shin
Megami Tensei: Nocturne Dante
A smoother version of
DMC2's Dante.
|
|
...Anime
Dante
The Devil May Cry
anime series may be horrible, but Dante is Dante, and at least
they got the character design right!
|
|
...Devil May
Cry 3 Manga Dante
Sheer youthful androgynous
perfection! I love his manga version! I love it to
pieces!!
|
|
...Dreamwave
Comics Dante
A United
States comic book company that draws beautiful,
slender men? No wonder they went out of business! I
only mourn that the final issue was never released.
|
|
...Devil May
Cry 01 Dante
The novel has illustrations featuring a
slightly younger DMC1 Dante in the same outfit. Very
nice.
|
|
...Devil
May Cry 02 Dante
The novel has illustrations featuring
Dante in the DMC2 outfit, but prettier.
