Howdy hey! I'm Hailey, I'm an illustrator with a soft spot for frogs and rainbow pencils.

I love using a lot of bright colors in my art, and I LOVE designing funky characters that I can go insane thinking about for hours on end.

Check out my full portfolio here: www.haileyriveraart.com
A digital illustration of the cover of an EP for local indie band Peach Polaroid. There's a young femme person with curly dark hair leaning on the counter of a pastel pink and blue candy store. They're staring through a jar with a bunch of candy in it, and a cockroach on top of it. There's a sign behind them that says "peach polaroid," a gumball machine on the left side and a gold cash register on the right. A digital illustration of fanart of the video game series The Legendary Starfy. Starfy is in the middle, with his arms raised and a big smile. In the corners from top left to bottom right are Bunston, Starly, the Mermaid, and Moe. They're under the water with bubbles all around them. A digital illustration of a band performing at a cafe. There’s pink, purple, and orange lights shining from behind them with fog coming in between. The band members consist of a goat person in a flowery dress playing the guitar, a lion person in alt clothing playing the drums, and a naga character with thick black sunglasses and a green velvet suit on the microphone. A digital illustration of two characters, Medusa and another young woman, leaning against a tree at sunset. They're kissing, embracing one another.

Your stories and art are worth telling and sharing. They don’t have to be groundbreaking or revolutionary. They just need to be YOURS.

So after YEARS of hearing about it I’ve finally caved and downloaded Cookie Run Kingdom

Expect art soon because this game has effectively fried my brain all these designs are so

Moss Giant 🍀
A digital painting of a huge giant made of moss. She looks like an elderly woman with a walking stick, but is purely green, and has a cloak that looks like patches of different moss species. She walks through a lush forest full of rainbow birds, in front of a blue sky with white clouds.

#art #thelastunicorn
A digital illustration by @/heyitshai of a study of a frame from the movie The Last Unicorn. The piece depicts a white unicorn with a long horn and a blue mane. She's standing in the middle of a beautiful blue forest, with shrubs and bushes and flowers. The night sky is full of stars and a bright full moon.

I did this X-Files piece for a zine a few years ago and I remember when I finished this I was like "omg this is so bad I can never show this publicly"

Today I was cleaning out my files and found this again and I was like what the hell, this is one of the best pieces I've ever made in my LIFE??????

🧵 (REPOST!) I realized I should probably start pushing this effort here! So since August I’ve been with a group of artists working together to fundraise for a young woman in Gaza, and while we’ve done some great work with it things have been slowing down a bit, unfortunately. (1/2)
An image that says “ARTISTS FOR SHIMAA!!” “An artist collective fundraising for Shimaa Mohammed, a young woman in Gaza who needs our help.” An image telling the story of Shimaa Mohammed, before October, Shimaa was just starting her final year of university, studying software engineering, and planning for the future. Despite losing everything since then, she still has a huge drive to achieve her goals. She is only being held back by genocide, and honestly she is determined to live her life regardless! Shimaa has found a way to finish her degree remotely, from her family’s tent by the sea, and she needs some supplies, along with daily necessities to make it happen. Eventually she hopes to cross the border, travel and learn skills that she can bring back to help rebuild Palestine. There’s also links to Shimaa’s GoFundMe and her Instagram. GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-glimmer-of-hope-support-shimaa-and-her-familys-education?attribution_id=sl:0390e11d-b0ab-467a-85bb-3cdde7bb10a9&utm_campaign=man_ss_icons&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link Instagram: @gaza4360 An image explaining how the fundraiser works, where you need to choose an artist from our Carrd (link in my bio), then fill out a request form that the artist will approve and then confirm the request, then donate the agreed upon amount of money to Shimaa’s campaign and show proof to the artist, and then receive art, and help Shimaa get closer to her goal! There’s also a call to DM @souptheg if you have any questions.

Finished this commission for @kiloueka.bsky.social! I had a lot of fun with this one, thank you so much for supporting the fundraiser!

#art #instarsandtime
A digital illustration commission by @/heyitshai of the characters Siffrin and Loop from the indie game In Stars and Time. Siffrin is a character with a witch hat and a robe, with short, choppy white hair that is black in the back. Siffrin has a concerned, fearful expression on his face, as he's being held by the collar by Loop. Loop is in the style of an original species known as "rukemi." A rukemi looks similar to a griffin, with a long, dragon-like face and snout with a stockier body with wings. Loop has a white face with fluffy ears and a feather coming out of the top of their head. Their body is black with starry patterns all along it. They have wings and a sort of facial blemish coming up on the right side of their face. They are angrily roaring in Siffrin's face. They are both black and white, with a starry background full of stars, sparkles and circles behind them.

Drew this for my little cousin for her birthday! Considering the fact that like, two years ago when I first introduced her to Pokemon her favorite Pokemon was Eevee, you can imagine my surprise when I texted her the other day asking her what her favorite Pokemon is now and she answered "Luxray."
A digital illustration of a piece of fan art featuring a young blonde girl riding on the back of the Pokemon Luxray. She has her fist in the air with a big smile on her face. There's a blue gradient in the background with light dots in the background. There's a lightning bolt behind them.

the problem with being the kind of person who can only make herself draw in the noon/night is that i'm working at noon & i'm tired from work at night and can't stay up too late or i'll be too tired at work and then i won't be able to draw and THEN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHGHHG

I think I may go through and repost some work I posted when I first made this account, but this time with it Glazed. This AI stuff has really been at the forefront of my mind recently and I feel like I need to be more proactive about defending myself against it

Poisonous #nightshade anyone?

Elven woman submerged in a green pond, with long slick hair and dark blue skin. Her eyes and lips are dark with an oil-spill shading, just like the nightshade berry she is offering the viewer.
