A photo of the artist's hand holding up a light black-bordered frame with a cute cat illustratoon art in it. Hand drawn by the artist, Dhiyanah Hassan, the illustration is of a stylized pallas cat or manul smiling at the viewer while squishing its tail. The word 'Squish' is drawn underneath it extending from the cat's shadow in a playful script framed with whisker-like marks. Above the cat are little light orbs or snow flakes which, against the warm grey background, gives a calming wintery feeling to the piece.

My #crochet blanket now covers my lap! Been working on this for months, the process provides a lot of soothing (also I'm determined to celebrate some progress today, heh) 🧶

Preview of recent commissioned illustration that got me expanding studio work these months, mixing traditional watercolors + hand-drawn digital.

Haven't utilized this technique in many years, I wasn't expecting it to feel like a sensory homecoming 💜
#art #wip #artists #SFFart #trees #ArtYear
Cropped preview of a hand-drawn illustration in watercolors and digital media by the artist Dhiyanah Hassan. Trees float atop fluffy clouds against a star-sprinkled watercolor background. A glowing teail beams out an opening in the base of the tree where its roots sink into the clouds, trailing up into the purple sky. In the background, another tree stands with another beam, or maybe the same beam, rising up from a similar opening on its base. The affect is a surreal, dreamy, and curious scene.

A graphic poster designed by the artist Dhiyanah Hassan featuring their illustrations. The colored version of their pallas cat artwork is partially overlaid against the coloring sheet version. The small wildcat is illustrated with a cute smile on its face while it squishes its tail. The word 'Squish' is hand-drawn in the shadow below it, adorned with whisker-like detail.

Cover of the December 2025 book from Speculative Insight. It's a lot of purple: there is a path leading from tree to tree, with clouds around the base of the trees, ending in a star at the top of the image. It says Speculative Insight at the top.

I did it. After a year of using clip studio for my Patreon rewards and client projects I deleted photoshop after continuous used for the past 20 years (jfc)

Not only was the price insane, the ethics questionable, but it’s such a bloated piece of hardware it was crashing constantly

It's hard trying to articulate health/life updates atm, esp with severe to unberabale pain levels. Weekly treatments reduced to twice a month, but there's hope for getting urgent medical tests/appointments done before the end of the year (at hospital now 🤞🏽🌸). All help & support for my art matters 💚

Been quiet. Dealing with multiple health emergencies while fighting severe pain levels to focus on/find work.

I need to afford rest soon, to be ok enough for appointments - keep postponing specialist appts bc they're so expensive. If you can support: www.ko-fi.com/bydhiyanah

'Another Beacon' hand-drawn digital illustration by the artist Dhiyanah Hassan of an adult femme in tank top and sarong on the ground next to her cat and walking stick, flowers sprout from a wound at her back. The background is a dreamy, surreal scene with moons, stars, and big mystery moon, and the same flowers from the body glowing in the sky. The art is framed by a border and archway reminiscent of Arabesque and Jawi Peranakan designs. 'Emperor's New Flame,' hand-drawn digital illustration by the artist Dhiyanah Hassan of a child in a dress and top hat holding up a glowing flame to a giant emperor snakehead fish against a surrealistic underwater background.

The body resisting isolation needs to be met by communities actively resisting multi-layered erasures of severely othered, marginalized realities.

'Another Beacon' asks who will reach in when the body sends out its flair signals amidst flare-ups.

An intricately detailed traditional and digital mixed media illustration by the artist Dhiyanah Hassan. An ornate frame with Arabesque and Jawi Peranakan inspired designs frames the illustration as a brown femme in a batik sarong and tank top sits on the floor next to her walking stick. A fantastical plant with glowing flowers grow from a wound on her back, ripping the back of her tank top. The plant faces us, the character is facing away, her face pointed between her cream-colored cat who is walking up to check on her and a large mystery moon glowing in the sky. Dark crescents surround the larger moon, and the same flowers from her body is depicted glowing in the purple watercolor sky amidst the stars.

Sketch of a cranky night dragon
#art #KidLitArt #artists #dragon #cartoon #illustration
A black and white sketch illustration of a large dragon with a tube-like head and horns, large wings, and short hooved legs flying up into a starry night sky. The dragon is looking at the viewer angrily but it is also a very comical expression because of the rough, picture book style. Hand-drawn art by Dhiyanah Hassan.

Graphite and watercolor quick study of panda corydora by the artist Dhiyanah Hassan. The fish has a unique shape, kinda between an oval and a diamond from its side profile. It has the catfish whiskers near its mouth and black markings around its eyes and a black patch near its tail which give it its common name, panda corydora.
