Here is an image that has 2 very special things about it.
First, I am making prints of this in RL and giving one to all my friends.
Second, there is a gimmick to it! As you can tell by the title, "Canis Major" is the constellation of the dog. One of the stars in the constellation is "Sirius" the Dog Star. What I did was simple: I took some transparent glow-in-the-dark all-purpose gel and constructed parts of the image directly over top the original. So that when you hang this puppy up, and turn out the light, you have a cool "night sky" image with the constellation of Canis Major all drawn out! "Sirius" is the "moon" on Sesshomaru's head. It makes for a deep and meaningful image.

Drawn out by hand, colored in Photoshop.
