Ladies n' gents, I present to you a new thing I've been working on for a while now and finally completed!

Since I was still on my Demon Slayer kick, I decided to put my kemono-headcanon hands to good use and draw up some designs again!

Here is a set of all the UpperMoons and my HC'd anthro designs for them! (No Lower Moons this time...sorry guys ;v;)
Some of them I've already drawn before and given explanations, but since that one is old and no longer reflective of my current skills, and I assume some of you may be seeing these for the first time, I shall share the role call for each one!

Muzan - Wolf. Wolves are a very classically-feared animal so something simple but effective could work for him.

Kokushibo - Stag. Kokushibo is already a pretty imposing character- fully grown deer can also look pretty intimidating if done correctly. I mean look at those antlers~

Doma - Snow Leopard. I've drawn him MANY times before in this HC, but for the uninitiated - my choice of snow leopard for him is primarily due to his cryokenetic abilities! And also a heavy dose of personal bias, snow leopards are very pretty and so is he. (Snow leopards are also SILLY LIL GUYS, just like Doma is. <3)

Akaza - Tiger. Another character I have drawn quite a bit for the furry headcanons in the past - but the tiger honestly suits him well for his martial arts skills, since he is pretty ferocious in a fight. I guess the markings on his body also read as tiger stripes too to me! (I imagine Hakuji's stripes would be small or thin...)

Nakime - Barn Owl. I wanted something avian for a little bit of variety- Originally I was thinking a crane for her but realized, an animal with good eyesight like the owl would be really good too. Owls can also be pretty spooky...just like her~

Hantengu + Zohakuten - Bat. I'll admit this one was a bit of a stretch. I guess because bats are usually associated with villainy and can work as a frail creature for Hantengu? But with the right design conventions it can work for his clones too. (as a side note, I unfortunately didnt have time to draw his other clones, so bat!Zohakuten is all you get!).

Gyokko - Fish. Mainly because out of all the upper moons, he has the freakiest design, so I wanted something that fits not only that look but also his blood demon art!

Daki + Gyutaro - Weasel. This one is more for Gyutaro, but with his sickle weapon, I wanted to invoke the idea of him being sort of like the kama-itachi. Weasels are also a commonly villified animal in fiction so it can fit for his nasty demeanour! As for Daki, she is one too but of course depicted in a much more flattering light~

Kaigaku - Lynx. Honestly this one is more based on vibes really. Since he is essentially Zenitsu's rival in Infinity Castle, I wanted something feline to his mouse depiction, but preferably something a little different!

I had fun drawing these - some of them I am well familiar with drawing but others are my first time doing them!
Of course since these are meant to be chibi, they do look a but more stylized...if I ever decide to draw them in a non-chibi like style (like for redraws) I'll see if I can attempt to make their critter characteristics more noticeable~

Enjoy~!
