Gaiana Moore ran her fingers through her orange hair as she stared at Aurora. Aurora picked at her hands nervously. She wasn’t sure why her mentor called her so suddenly to meet on a day when they don’t usually meet.
Ms. Moore let out a sigh, “Well Aurora, it is time for your physical here at the academy. Follow me.”
Aurora was a little surprised but followed her mentor as she was instructed to. They went down several hallways and passed a good number of classrooms before arriving at the nurses’ station, “This way.” instructed Ms. Moore.
Aurora followed Ms. Moore to the back of the large room where there was a door. Going thru the door, there was a room sectioned off into three curtained-off areas. Her mentor pulled back one curtain to reveal a small space with what looked like an elaborate scale complete with a monitor, buttons and handrails.

When submitting an image with the new Studio, tags will now be suggested and pre-selected for you based on the content of the uploaded image. This update will be rolling out to more deviants over the coming weeks. This feature is partly to improve the submission process and save you time when tagging, and partly to make it easier for others to find and appreciate your art. These tags are just suggestions, and you can keep or delete the tags at any time based on your preferences.
You can also use the Studio to apply tags to all of your future uploads by default! To do so, go to the Studio, select Presets, and then add the tags you want.

New preset tools: templates, watermarks, and more!
You can now set multiple preset templates in the Studio!
The presets feature lets you easily set defaults for each deviation you submit, saving time and energy when uploading and submitting files. When the Studio launched, a common request from deviants was the ability to have different presets for different needs, and now you can! Set up different presets for when you submit photography, traditional art, adoptables, and more.
Watermark and Gallery Presets
You can now also set watermarks and galleries when setting up your presets! This was another community request that will help speed up your submission process.
In addition, you can bulk edit watermarks in the Studio. Simply select the files you want to change, and then select Watermark from the Edit menu.

: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

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
