Be still my heart
Be still my heart
Do not set off the rage
A rage that feeds the hunger that lingers
Be still
Be quiet
Like a mouse in slumber
For the monster await their fill
Oh of love the storybooks fill our heads
But hearts are so much more
Where do you think the rage that builds resides
The rage like a volcano waiting to erupt
It's ashes suffocating every living thing it touches with the weight of a thousand mountains
(Sigh)
No my friend
Hearts are not just benevolent angels
They are the fiends really to steal your love for their own
That vengeance from that one small thing forgotten by all but one
One small, pulsating, muscle
That no one sees any harm in
A true wolf in disguise as a lamb so sweet
Pumping my veins full to the brim with anger and hate
Boiling my insides with passionate revolt
No, no, no I whisper, my heart be still I plead
As I feel my heart turn to Jekyll my insides
But it is too late
You've pushed your thundering emotions to my brain
Like a parasite, a fungus, a controlling

I mainly sketch my work in Painter SAI2. A lot of my color work is done in Corel Painter using the "Mona Lisa" brush.
:bulletgreen: What is a Garden Dragon?
A garden dragon is a plant-like dragon that lives in a garden pot. I originally called them "Bonsai Dragons." I have evolved them since the first creation of Bonsai Dragon and have made several different variations of them like Minty Dragon.
:bulletgreen: Why this art style?
I love to read and make comics of my own and have developed this cute art style to fit my very own comic that I run called Lucky Dragon and Friends. I post this comic regularly here on DeviantArt as well as on WebToon. Some of the recent episodes of my comic

Celebrating Deviousness - July 2024 by team, journal
Celebrating Deviousness - July 2024
The Deviousness Award is given to one deviant each month in recognition of their exemplary contributions to DeviantArt and its community and has been a long-standing tradition since DeviantArt’s early years. @Doosio is the recipient of July 2024’s Deviousness Award, so please join us in congratulating her!
@Doosio has quietly been contributing to DeviantArt in many ways for many years, particularly among the pixel art and fan art communities, and she's a positive force that always works to bring deviants together. As a creator, her pixel art and animations are instantly recognizable and high-quality, and over the years she's created multiple badges for official DeviantArt tutorials and projects as well! For these reasons and many more, it is an honor to name @Doosio the Deviousness Award recipient for July 2024!
Hello, everyone! I'm Doosio, I'm from Colombia—not to be confused with Columbia!—and I'm a pixel artist and animator! Cartoons and comics have been my inspiration to draw

A Beginners Guide to Customizing Your Profile by team, journal
A Beginners Guide to Customizing Your Profile
Learn easy ways to customize your profile!
Do you want to customize your profile on DeviantArt? Whether you’re trying to personalize your space for the first time or have been decorating your profile for years, here are some tips and tricks to make your profile feel like home.
Theme Is Everything
To start personalizing your Profile, first come up with an idea for the overall vibe you want it to have. This can range from simply selecting a color palette based on colors you like (or artwork in your Gallery) to deciding what backgrounds you want to use to add interesting elements to your Profile. Go with whatever suits your vision!
How to Customize
Add a Cover Image
Adding a Profile cover image is a great starting point for all deviants, and it’s easy to do!
When creating a cover image for your Profile, the recommended dimensions are 1600 pixels by 800 pixels and 1920x1080 resolution at minimum, so the image fits well and appears clearly for all viewers.

Literature
Moonsmoke
Smoke slides slowly,
Slipping across the surface
Of the moon...
Silver slivers,
Shifting;
Fading, leering,
Like a cat's eye
Peeking between the trees...
Ancient ruins
Burning,
Overflowing, brimming with
Mystical magic...
Mosses swaying softly,
Fuzzy grey tendrils
Curling sweetly,
Like nooses
Around necks...
The moonlight frozen;
Immortal...
Like ice
In your veins...
As the soft dread
Of creeping winter
Fills what is left
Of your
Bitter heart.
