This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.

Orion's reference sheet is finally finished C:
This has taken such a long time to make, much due to my inability to understand photoshop : P anyway, I tried to fit in as much information about him as possible on this one, at least what felt relevant to present on a ref sheet. You see, he is a character that is prominent in my story, and it largely revolves around him even though he's not the main character. He has much, oh so much more about him that isn't explained here, but that will come later on ^^ And yes, the story will be told in comic form because, as you can see, the explanation of his origin here is quite cheesy and it would be much easier to tell it in pictures than words. I can't really express myself well in just words. Now put the word "pistachio" in your comment if you've read this far :> Comments the size of image is incredibly big %P
-- Remember one basic thing... just one... If you fave my works or if you watch me, just remember... I'll do the same for you!!!   oh my gosh, this is amazing. his design is incredible.
may i draw him? i'd credit you, of course.  -- i need...pants.  wow, thank you very much
 of course you can draw him if you want ^^ I'm honored <3-- ... faster than a Thai ****** Beautifulness icon by =Thunderskull I fixed it so it's a bit smaller now
 -- ... faster than a Thai ****** Beautifulness icon by =Thunderskull   as a little heads up, you will probably be getting gift art thrown your way sometime in the near future.
secondly... stop being so amazingly awesome at coloring.  ffff. you know how to use photoshop. d: anyways, i really lav this, dos. it's a really detailed reference sheet that deserves to be read completely and it's a really unique character. c:  -- On a windy day let's go flying There may be no trees to rest on There may be no clouds to ride But we'll have our wings and the wind will be with us That's enough for me, that's enough for me~ icon by =yecheese ~13Nyx wrecked this sig~  Now this looks amazing. I love his shiny scales and the little dots of light, they really do give the impression that he's connected to the stars. I like his story too, it's very unique.
Just out of curiosity, where did you get the star sign chart thingies in the background from? -- I'm the Leucrotta in deviantART's Mythical Creatures Crew! whaaaaaaa thanks ;; <333 don't call me god please :> my ego is like, growing here! ^3^
-- ... faster than a Thai ****** Beautifulness icon by =Thunderskull fffffffffffffffffff ;v; thank you so much
the coloring was what I was most uncertain about in the whole picture, thanks again :3hmmm photoshop didgive me trouble some times xP like now for example, when I was drawing the little wing I managed to move the line layer without knowing it, and then I had no idea how to re-center it ;; I actually considered starting over from my last save, where I hadn't even colored the body yet : P and thanks again! <333 I tried to make it as detailed as possible, and I'm glad you think he's unique :> I thought he would go down in some swamp of overpowered mary-sue's or whatever it's called gift art?!!? you're flattering me  -- ... faster than a Thai ****** Beautifulness icon by =Thunderskull |

Critiques
Orion's design is truly a unique one, reflecting the matters of the stars and space due to the good use of colours and shine. The pose and figure is perfect for reference, showing great detail on the scales. I especially love the separate head pose at the top showing Orion in a different perspective, giving a different expression from the one below. This kind of colour mix and glow sets my heart to a fast beat in excitement, as this is my favourite kind of style and mix.
Another section of this sheet I found reaching to my taste was the background images. Showing what seems to be star signs and rune markings linking me to ancient legends and to a time when magic was at it's strongest. That truly touched me seeing this, and it gives off a sacred mystical feeling to this unique and magnificent Guardian.
All that's left to say is well done! In my opinion your finest artwork so far
