First at all, sorry if there´s any mistake in my grammar ^ ^º but hey, is worthy to give it a shot heheh XDc
At last! is finally finish!!! : D I still can´t believe it passed 7 years at last.
Before explaining the pic I wanna tell you guys why seven is important. Well first it might sound stupid, but I believe 7 is indeed my lucky number, why? well first at all at 2007 (SEVEN) Is where I met the one who I admired a lot and teached me how to draw and reach in what I am now, you guys might know who´s that person XD. Second, is the time when I started my DA account and posting all my works since then. Have a visit to my DA if you wanna see my beginnings ; )

Ok, another reason is that SEVEN years later I graduate from college, also got a job totally related to my career, which it´s a good beginning. On my recent first christmas party at work, they made a raffle of products like dryers, coffee makers, ironers, etc. Aaaand me, the newby, won a stove XD my my, that was a surpise indeed heheh (now I need to sell it since I already have one at home X3c). And for last, this is something of destiny XD, but my dad brought me a 2015 callendar in which they told him that at May there´s someone familiar there........ me : o Is truth, I´m the guy that appears in that photo. That was the time when I went on a trip with my teachers and partners to Valladolid and apparently, the photographer who was hired to take photos in this place, or it was an accident or he was waiting me to make a shot with someone in that hall, but to think it was me : I kinda scary but awesome! Here you can see me in the photo XD sorry for the bad resolution, but i real life it´s clear

So yeah, 7 is definitly my number, although with all this my luck is wasted XD so I won´t have luck until who knows when heheh XP just kidding.
Anyway, the real reason why I choose 7 is because along with number 12 is my favourite number, and when I started my firsts drawings in DA, I made a goal to myself that on the next 7 years I´m gonna celebrate my progress with my character Orion (if I would ever make any progress) But as you see in the pic, it was : D So what a better way to celebrate new year than sharing you guys my little history.
That first drawing of Orion with fire on the fist was needed to make a remaster pic, it was the pic wich people comment more than before and also the one with better proportions and scale textures that I have done, so to celebrate it, a remaster pic of it. As for the rest, they aren´t the same poses, but you can see how does they look with my actual style, it was really fun working on this.
Ohhhhhhhhh and yeah, looks like I haven´t mentioned this to everyone and haven´t drawn it, but Orion CAN breathe fire ; D Is not also the most used of the techniques, since breathing fire is like dpreading out most of his energy. He van breathe it at least 4 times, but then it gets weak unless he don´t take a break to recover. I must admit that he looks badass like that ; )
And for the last pic, the sword, that was thanks to a friend who has a lot of knowledge about swords´techniques and designs that are functional to certain styles. With his advices, we manage on creating a proper design of Orion´s sword. Is not a great differents with the guard´s shape, but that´s because I wanted to keep it, because is a tradition on Drakatos that each warrior must mark a part of themselves into their weapons, to represent a second extension of their bodies. It could be their tattoo on it, or customized with their scales or horns. In this case Orion shaped the guard as the horns of his tail and also to include it, he added a sculpture of his tattoo in his guard. I really like how this design and the whole design of his clothes ended up : ) Oh, and also proud of my scale shaded improvement XD I just love it!
Ok, to spoil the mystery, nah heheh, more like to make a direct thanks, I wanna thank
ReptileCynrik for being such an awesome teacher. At my beginnings I must admit that I was kinda naive and kinda inmature heh, but that´s the part of growing up ; ) still, seven years learning from you was something that I will treasure man, your patient and interest on my work is what I thank you : D
And second, I wanna thanks
Wolfplot for helping me to design this new sword, it really came out amazing and I´m sure that Orion will make a good use to it ; ) also thanks for being supportive with me on the easy and difficult moments, I appreciate it a lot : D
And of course, for the rest of my friends and watchers"THANK YOU" for being supportive with me in these seven years, and definitly looking forward to stick around more years to share more of my work : D HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM MEXICO!!! : DDD
At last! is finally finish!!! : D I still can´t believe it passed 7 years at last.

Thanks man! : D *only for that icon of cuteness intensified I wanna hug you* XD
This is the result of a lot of hard work and efforts. And is true that there´s more people who became better in a short time, but I´m all patient and it´s fun to enjoy the success little by little, isn´t? ; )

Una larga historia de dibujos, realmente interesante ver el progreso que haz tenido en tus técnicas de dibujo, eso demuestra que la práctica hace al maestro, je! ;)
Ver la evolución de las ideas y de tu personaje Orion realmente es interesante, se ve que estuviste desarrollandolo por un buen tiempo hasta que llegaste a su idea definitiva :), supongo que por eso también le haz agarrado cariño al personaje, porque han ido progresando al mismo tiempo.
Te felicito por seguir intentándolo y seguir mejorando tú estilo, ojalá que en otros 7 años más podamos seguir viendo mejora y ¿quien sabe? a lo mejor ya habrá algún trabajo más profesional del personaje.
Que bien que te decidiste a compartir esto, supongo que hay muchos que no sabemos realmente todo el esfuerzo que haz puesto en tus trabajos ^^.

Si, uno de mis objetivos con este proyectos es para que la gente este consciente de que incluso yo tuve mis inicios en el dibujo y muchos tropiezos que me daban pena heheh XD Pero si uno se levanta y se asegura de no caerse, entonces llega muy y muy lejos e incluso listo para llegar mas lejos con una mejor resistencia al correr ; )
Muchas gracias ^^ me alegra que pudieras ver mi progreso de los 7 años en el pasado hasta el hoy ; )

....I want to cry after reading this.
It is soooooo good and so lucky that you met
ReptileCynrik . I want to start drawing but man. I ever befriend with someone (did not befriend for benefit) and I asked him to show my pic then criticize about mine. He did,but no guiding about what should I do next (and after that apocalypse,I broke him. He does not take care of me after all.) And I got no local furry friendly...
Anyway what I want to say is that you are so lucky and your works are awesome so keep doing in a better way!!
PS1 My mobile phone sucks. It just send my incomplete sentences and I have to hide my comment. Sorry!
PS2 Someone on FB suggests me to buy just Wacom Intuous pen small first and said it's awesome while someone said that newbie should get medium pen and touch. Could you suggest this to me?
Oh and on a side note: Do you have any recommend tutorial book or website that I should try to follow? I am not in the United states of America and Europe so asking Reptilecynrik is already obsolete. So, I need your suggestion. Hope you don't mind about me for being...bad. Also this is not a bot so fear not! :)

Hello,
you must understand that I cannot "guide" just everyone around here. I get plenty of weird requests like "Help me to become a good artist" or "Help me to draw as you do".
IT DOES NOT WORK this way!!
YOU have to work.
YOU have to practice!
I can only comment your works if YOU continue to draw and to practise.
In Aldo's case, it was simple: He took ANY comment and advise seriously (even the shorter comments) and did not crawl under a rock and cry about how bad he was nor did he try to put all the work on MY shoulders!!
Aldo showed improvement with EVERY NEW piece!!
And he was worth my time and effort.
Many other people are not worth my time.
IT'S nothing personal... it's just that I'm a teacher in real life and I have over 200 (!!) kids to take care... with real problems and urgent matters.
I can't take care of everyone around here... you need to help yourself.
AND you don't have to blow it all because of one bad experience (from YOUR point of view).
Working with me means practice... and patience.
And you can see: Aldo did! And it was worth it.
Think about that.

Um..I think I told him about how lucky for him to have you as his teacher.
I um, really remember that I'm not forcefully asking you to tell me to be good artist and "him" in this case is not you. It's my old friend that I was once friend with him. BUT I really appreciate you to kindly suggest me the way that I have to do to be a good artist despite my confusing sentences.
Also I understand about your job (well I just know that you are an artist + teacher) .
So I will try with my best Reptilecynrik! And I deeply apologize you for typing a bit too confusing.

Ah whoops... You're welcome! You know I'm so shock that you said that I'm trying to...acting a bit like crazy troll. And nope. That disabling userpage DOES block everyone (that's why I use it to prevent stalker in a first place!) and when I do something like let someone see my chars and etc. I link them to my link or SF instead.
Oh and that's alright. I'm just quiet shock at it.

*Addition*
Some quick notes about drawing material:
DIGITAL
I am using PHOTOSHOP 7.0.1 and a MEDION tablet with medium pen. As a matter of fact, my tablet is very cheap (compared to WACOM). I don't really suggest WACOM to beginners... but it surely is good quality.
And yes, medium pens are good to start with.
Anyway, I am using an A4 sized tablet (21x29cm) which is large and suits my needs. I cannot work on these tiny ones..... XD
TRADITONAL
I come from the traditional media... pens, pencils, markers, inks... brush... yes. Such things.
I still use it and have tried to perfect my method and style over the past 23 years.
YES...... 23 years!
Now you know how much time art takes: ALL YOUR LIFE!
You cannot get it done in a month or a year.
This is also a reason why I don't spend my time with certain people: many artists want "instant knowledge" or help! They want to become great and good in just a short amount of time.
THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE!
It takes lots of time. And you have to endure it.
IF you really, really want it... you have to work for it. ^_^
Can you learn to play the violin like a master in just 1 year?
I doubt it.
^_^
So... last but not least:
You are behaving a little bit unfair towards me. Crying and flaming about me here... and closing access to your account for me.
That's pretty childish.
But maybe, even YOU have the potential to be more..... to grow.
Do you?
I don't know yet.

Ok. I will keep that in my mind.
But...I really sorry I did not mean to blame you or anything. I just really felt that he is lucky to have you as his teacher. Not meaning to trying to blaming at you. Also,my account really got stalked! Not trying to playing bot-thingies to troll people! There are some bots and bad people stalks me! So I close that account and make a new one. Then I got one guy-starting to stalk me so I block my userpage! I do have Sofurry account and ever see your work since 2007 (you ARE one of my inspire artists,not kidding.)
So I'm so sorry that my "you are so lucky to have him as a friend" become a crazy issue! I deeply sorry about that!

Well, it's okay. ^_^ I can understand some honest kind of jealousy here... and this is only human and absolutely alright.
Of course, you understand how this sounded to ME!
But I am not mad.
It's ok.
And I give the same advice to you... just like anyone else:
Practise and observe.
AND when you have something to show... you know where to find me.
Bye

Ow I see, my apologize for what happened.
Well, I do feel lucky by meeting someone like Reptile for sure. But As he mentioned. I also put my part on this improvement, actually just point me the possible mistakes do and I simply avoid it or try to fix that for the next works ; ) What I said is that is good to feel you are well supported, but it´s better to trust in yourself and do what you can by watching, analizing and working on it.
This is an example, he and I are far away from each other and my english wasn´t of the bests back there so I barely understood few things of what he comment on my and even I kinda pissed him off JUST a little XD but he kinda made his teacher mode comment hahah XD But after understanding the a bit more of what he said, it did make sense to me, so that´s how I improved little by little by practicing on my mistakes ; ) "Everything is possible if you work hard on it" that like my new moto ; ) and it´s true.
I have an intuos wacom tablet medium size, it feels nice to stroke in big disntances, more confortable. But at my work I have a small wacom, is kinda the same but with less space to stroke XP is just a matter of time to get use to it XD
As for advices, well in drawing I recommend you to start from the beginnig to dominate it, otherwise you´ll fail a lot if you go with the pro part as everything XD you can´t eat popcorn in you only put 30 seconds to pop XD Sp for the basics, you should check out google in drawing tutorial https://www.google.com.mx/search?q=drawing+tutorial&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=NFCnVPi5AtSeyATwn4CYDA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg&biw=1280&bih=675 here you´ll see all kind od tutorials of any type. As for poses, there´s a website where they put you 3D models males and femals of different types which you can rotate the model in order to see the poses, anatomy and everythig else http://www.posemaniacs.com/
I´m not saying you´re bad on this XP but in defense to Reptile, it might not be easy to help every single person who ask for his help ^ ^º but it doesn´t mean he´s the only person you could rely on ; )

Sooo... THIS is the huge, great project you were talking about... and you didn't disappoint, Aldo.
Such a huge work... it deserves an equally huge comment. So, let's do it!
First of all, when I saw this artwork I thought "Oh, nice... he took older artworks (just like my "Reptile Evolution") and drew the picture again - in a new style!"
Well, THIS was true... but ONLY about the first picture!
The first picture of Orion shows us the old and a "reloaded" version, hehehe. This is surely a cool idea... to take an old, beloved pose (I did this a few times, too) and draw it once again - in your CURRENT style!
Very nice.
BUT I find it really cool that you did NOT do this with all the following poses... man, you... you... have drawn a new Orion for each new step!!! :O
Wow!
You have draw more Orions (grins) than in the past year... I guess you wanted to "make up" for some loss? XD
Don't worry... all these recent trades and commissions DID help you to improve, as well.
BUT I know... it's always best to draw the personal, most beloved character.
In my case, it is Reptile... in your case: Orion.
He is your "baby"... he is your creation.
AND I can see how much you love him and how much work and effort you put into him. Just like I do..
So... now we come to the rather personal part.
Many people have shown their opinion about "me helping you"... about the fact that I, Patrick, have helped you, Aldo, over the past 7 years.
Why is that so?
Why don't I teach just everyone around here?
The answer is simple.
First of all, I don't have time to guide just anyone around here. Furthermore, my job (school teacher) is keeping me busy enough!!! But when we are talking about time... I can say: we just make the time when it's needed, aye?
Yes, that is true. I can never say "I don't have time for you"... because we just MAKE the time.
But what's so special about YOU?
Aside from art, I consider you a close friend.
Not many people around the internet can say this from themselves... and that's not a sin or a bad thing. I cannot be friends with EVERYONE!!!
In fact, you and I are friends for years... through art... through chats... and just exchanging thoughts and ideas.
I think... 7 years... wow.
Orion lives almost as long as we are friends, eh? ^________^
And this makes me... what... his godfather?
XD
In fact, I feel happy for you and I feel like a part of your family. ^^"
I am a part of your fantasy world, of course!! We both did trades, gifts and had plenty of discussions.
BUT what made me going on? What made me teach you over these years?
Well... "teach" isn't the right word.
YOU taught yourself!
YOU worked it out!
YOU practised and you did art!!!!!
BUT I was a part of your creative evolution......
.... because you were worth it.
You showed lots of potential (another important factor)!
Some people don't have potential for visual art.... so what? They can do crafting, music, writing or whatever.
I am here for the visual art, mostly.
^^
And... you also reminded me of MYSELF! You started the way I did. Your first steps were similar to my own.
So... that is the reason why I took you under my guard.
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN SAY THIS about themselves??? Hmmm?
It's not that I favour you over everyone else... but YOU showed me effort, work, patience and worth.
You were worth my time and help.
And that is why my trust and friendship went on.
So... I think this comment is not only for you... but for all the other people around here.
I am not an evil guy... I surely am tough and I am strict.
Yes... I am a teacher, after all!
I do WANT YOU to improve, guys!!!!!
If you do NOT improve... you won't reach another level... and you'll be stuck.
If people show patience and growth ... I consider them worthy.
And please... no hail or hate comments right now... as a mater of fact, I am JUST A DUDE.... just like you!
But I don't have to be humble, either. I am a professional. And I know what I am talking about!
So... you can either take my advice or you don't. It's not a matter of emotion.
I simply comment ART... and I don't really care about the person behind the art, when I comment. I always try to be objective... and that's it.
IN your case, Aldo, you are much more than "just any artist".
You are my friend.
And this is also the reason why I keep writing you.
^__^
Please continue to grow and to improve.
We are no masters.
We all have to continue to learn... we learn for all our life!
Peace
Such a huge work... it deserves an equally huge comment. So, let's do it!
First of all, when I saw this artwork I thought "Oh, nice... he took older artworks (just like my "Reptile Evolution") and drew the picture again - in a new style!"
Well, THIS was true... but ONLY about the first picture!
The first picture of Orion shows us the old and a "reloaded" version, hehehe. This is surely a cool idea... to take an old, beloved pose (I did this a few times, too) and draw it once again - in your CURRENT style!
Very nice.
BUT I find it really cool that you did NOT do this with all the following poses... man, you... you... have drawn a new Orion for each new step!!! :O
Wow!
You have draw more Orions (grins) than in the past year... I guess you wanted to "make up" for some loss? XD
Don't worry... all these recent trades and commissions DID help you to improve, as well.
BUT I know... it's always best to draw the personal, most beloved character.
In my case, it is Reptile... in your case: Orion.
He is your "baby"... he is your creation.
AND I can see how much you love him and how much work and effort you put into him. Just like I do..
So... now we come to the rather personal part.
Many people have shown their opinion about "me helping you"... about the fact that I, Patrick, have helped you, Aldo, over the past 7 years.
Why is that so?
Why don't I teach just everyone around here?
The answer is simple.
First of all, I don't have time to guide just anyone around here. Furthermore, my job (school teacher) is keeping me busy enough!!! But when we are talking about time... I can say: we just make the time when it's needed, aye?
Yes, that is true. I can never say "I don't have time for you"... because we just MAKE the time.
But what's so special about YOU?
Aside from art, I consider you a close friend.
Not many people around the internet can say this from themselves... and that's not a sin or a bad thing. I cannot be friends with EVERYONE!!!
In fact, you and I are friends for years... through art... through chats... and just exchanging thoughts and ideas.
I think... 7 years... wow.
Orion lives almost as long as we are friends, eh? ^________^
And this makes me... what... his godfather?
XD
In fact, I feel happy for you and I feel like a part of your family. ^^"
I am a part of your fantasy world, of course!! We both did trades, gifts and had plenty of discussions.
BUT what made me going on? What made me teach you over these years?
Well... "teach" isn't the right word.
YOU taught yourself!
YOU worked it out!
YOU practised and you did art!!!!!

Heheh XD well kinda true that I wanted to draw Orion a lot since I haven´t draw him nore any other of my characters a long time ago, but Orion was the very first!. And yeah, that first pic with Orion Raising his hand with fire was the pic which got more attention in that moment, so I wanted to made a tribute of my first success by remastering that drawing with my actual style. Afterall that idea was to celebrate my 100,000 pages view here in DA ; Dc
Indeed, we did spend a lot together in these 7 years, man it really has been a long time and yet I feel it was only 3 years XD really. Time sure fly when you get cheerful with someone heheh. And to think we were friends through internet, but I do feel we are in real life. Man I would be damn happy to spend even a short time with you face to face :Dc But as the way we are, I don´t complain, I´m really happy for this.
Of course I would follow your advice, you are a good artist, a good teacher, and also a good friend. How would I ignore you, THAT would be a stupid sin if I wouldn´t ; ) after all, your intentions on helping me is so sweet and that´s something I always wanna follow ^ ^
And of course not, I don´t pretend to be your favourite XD I know there´s more people here and there, artist or not, that you like them in different ways. I´m ok with that, but I´m glad that I´m part of it. Family is a strong word heheh, but who knows? I kinda feel like that two XD after all I talked with my family about you in these 7 years. My mother saw this work and she started to remember me at these moments, how inspired I was with your work and with your comments. She even wanted to send her thanks for being part of my life, so am I ^ ^
So yeah, one of my thanks to the old year is that we´re still together as well with my other friends, and looking forward to stick around for more years XD Ok I talk too much heheh, but it´s simply joy heheh.
Once again, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!! : D

Thanks! and well time is required for everything and the dedication and hard work is a second ingredient to imrpove ; )
What I suggest you is to watch the works of everyone, not just the superficial part, but the techincal part, like the sizes and proportions in anatomy, google anatomies on muscles to understand how do they work, things like that. And of course, it still requires time but it IS possible ; )

Hahahahah so this you told me before about the project, it really make me feel fire up when read your stories, you see Aldo, i also have a teacher , his name is xvrox, a lot happen between me and him, a lot of missunderstanding, at first year 2006, i make a vow, to make and give people happy and hope with my art, time by time, i almost forgot that vow, many thing hapen to me, year by year, i lost something , i lost a friend, and i lost my tearcher......, just like your teacher said just now, people can be jealous sometime, thats normal xD
You see, you improve a lot better than me, currently , even i already draw for 3000+ artwork almost 9 years, but stil cannot reach your level, i had no teacher to guide me anymore, but i had good friend that always guide me, you see, i already make a new target, i gonna surpass NullGhost, i admit the journey still far a head for me. but i wil do that . That my dream, to be comic artist and ilustrator artist. Once again, your teacher was right, i have to help my self to improving.
Hehehe, you show up in 2009 in my deviantart, already had open my mind to make some different, i love your character so much, specialy on Orion, i even make a fan art about him, yes, Aria, to show you my support in your artwork, i really enjoy your art work soo much.
Another main reason why i create Dtactor Dragon Rider series, it to renunite all my friends x3 . And you one of it x3,
You see now, many people here keep surporting you, and you deserve it x3. I have another gift for you but i cannot show you yet, this gift i already plan since i finish The Sword Trial arc stories last 2 years ago.

Well it might be difficult to find someone who can teach you properly and have the patient for it. But also the student is the one who must put his part on it or it won´t work ; ) For both need time for anything, their time and the time to teach and leart. I guess I was lucky to have someone with patient like Reptile. I even messed things up that he kinda put his teacher voice XD but after understanding my mistakes and thinking the ways to fix it, things had changed. So everything is possible if you work hard on it, take the time for it, is not like ou can improve a month after another, in nothing is possible XD time is escential for the good results ; )
So this is an example of how the first pic become like this ; ) I hope this helps as a motivation for those who wanna draw a lot and get better on it ; )

Thanks Eternal : D I´m really glad that you took yourtime to read this ^ ^
Yeah I wanted to show everyone how was my beginning 7 years ago, and to show how my drawings was XD not good heheh but I love them, because each time I see these, it reminded me how I made the progress in everything: drawing, self confidence, interaction with people, so you see, is more than just getting better in drawing ; )
Thanks again and for the complement with Orion´s new design ; D

You´re most welcome, me Lord.
Some people say: If you know someone´s art, then you know the artist as well.
I don´t think in terms of good or bad art. Art itself is a never ending process of self development and who knows how Orion will look like 2022, seven years in the future, if you keep up your good work.

Me alegra de que te guste y que recuerdes mi dibujo con mucho cariño , significa mucho para mí, y significo un crecimiento muy grande para mí realizar dicha empresa.
Debo agregar que tu personaje es muy valioso a nivel de contenido y muy rico en cuanto a su historia de fondo y es como para cuidar hasta el más mínimo detalle, en otras palabras, me encanta, y espero que sigas contribuyendo con tus geniales ideas.
Desearía hacer un crossover contigo alguna vez, solo tengo que pensar en la historia, en qué tipo de situación podría darse, ya que son dimensiones diferentes.
