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.

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 💜

Digital art of a large, white-ish tentacle creature a bit like a cuttlefish or a squid. The creature swims mostly underwater with a little bit of its back peeking above the water. It’s surrounded by fish and lily pads, and distantly under the water are impressions of more plants.

Little - digital art of a creature from “Unintended Designs”! I’m excited about reaching 50k words and eager to finish this draft.

A watercolor and mixed media painting on a square paper with a circular composition. The view is up from the floor of a forest done I'm watercolor and brush pen, looking up through the canopy at five small pen figures holding hands in a circle as if skydiving together as a group, falling towards the viewer. The forest is painted in matte finish watercolor, while the small figures are painted with fluorescent acrylic paints and thin, gestural pen strokes to evoke a sense of movement.

A closeup of the center of the previous image, focusing on the circle of figures holding hands and falling to earth together. The photo was taken in bright winter sunlight, so the painting has very vibrant pinks, yellows, and blues, as well as the occasional copper metallic sparkle.

Five Little Stars Come To Earth (II) ✨🌠

I like to think the little guys all grabbed hands and drifted to the ground together, admiring the view on the way down.

A set of 12 different photos with the numbers "2024" offset around them. Each photo is a piece of color digital art. The subjects of the art are as follows, from top left to bottom right: an orange dragon under a waterfall, a huge mossy turtle looking up at golden grassy hills, a dragon with glowing spikes and whiskers curled around a snowy winter tree, a small orange dragon sitting on a rock in front of a waterfall, a person standing in tall grass in front of a forest while wearing a green cloak and deer skull, a purple dragon flying through a semi-cloudy white-purple sky, a huge shark swimming above clouds with water above, a red dragon stealing a glowing street lamp, a purple rat with a glowing nose sitting in pale hands, three red lizards with glowing orange scales sitting on rocks under a night sky, a white wolf with the words "you deserve to live" written in the grass around it, and finally a deer with glowing eyes standing on a grassy cliff under the night sky with the words "keep your sense of wonder" around it.

The same digital art in the same order, labeled for each month and around the year 2024. January is the dragon under the waterfall, February is the grassy turtle, March is the glowing winter dragon, April is the smaller orange dragon, May is the person wearing the deer skull, June is the purple flying dragon, July is the shark swimming through the sky, August is the street lamp stealing dragon, September is the purple rat, October is the glowing lizards, November is the white wolf, and December is the glowing deer.

Looking back at my art through 2024, I’m very pleased. It was a hard year, but I made some good art.

Here’s a selection of one piece from each month! It was hard to pick. How was your art journey in 2024?

Digital painting looking up from below at a lion with the front legs, wings, and tail feathers of an eagle. The creature covers the sun, which shines out from behind it in a partially cloudy blue sky.

From Below - got a gryphon mount in my DND game recently. I named her Laurie. This inspired me to try to draw my own gryphon! I know it’s not a traditional design, but I had fun with it.

A square watercolor and ink pen painting depicting five figures holding hands and dancing in a circle. The figures radiate bright white light and fluorescent and neon Sparks come off of their bodies as they dance. Their figures are outlined in black pen and appear to be filled with red and blue energy. The light they give off causes all the plants around them to cast shadows out in a circle.

Five little stars come to Earth and are delighted to find it's even more beautiful up close!

I think we all need some joy right now. #watercolor #ArtistsOnBluesky #SFFArt #fantasyArt

A structural collage featuring an eye seeming to burst through an opening in the paper, which is painted with swirling stripes in rainbow hues. A pair of lily botanical diagrams adds depth to the central eye's direction of vision. The painting is highlighted with fluorescent pink, orange, and purple acrylic paint.

Digital art looking down on a man and a dragon laying down in the grass around a campfire at night. The man is wearing boots, dark pants, a belt with a big gold buckle, and a half-open ruffled button up shirt. His legs are crossed and his arms folded beyond his head. The dragon is thick and orange, with no wings but a long tail and sharp curving horns. Sitting on the ground near them is a large saddle and a scattering of saddlebags and packs.

Rest Stop - do you think in another universe there are dragon cowboys?

Digital art of a human figure standing in front of rolling hills and distant mountains at night. The person holds out their hands, and light erupts from them. The light sparkles and twists into the air, forming the shape of a bird. The light is bright enough to light up the surrounding hills

Digital art of an orange dragon with bright blueish streaks draped over a large boulder with wings spread under a huge waterfall. The dragon’s tail dips into turquoise waters below and sprays of misty white water forms a subtle rainbow in the air.

A digital painting of a staff sinking down into water. Beams of light stream through the water above, but around the staff is a circle of darkness. The top of the staff has an intricate hollow with something glowing inside and the break in the middle of the staff leaks some kind of dark substance.

Staff Sinks - now for a bit of art inspired by my science fantasy WIP “Ratmaze of Eternity”! Now I’ve made art for all 3 of my WIPs.

A bird flies up across the sky. Behind the bird the sky and clouds are turning bright orange and red with sunrise, chasing away the purple night sky. The bird flies up toward the night sky, its front dark purple like the night while its leaves turn red then glowing yellow and it leaves a glowing trail of light behind it.

Sunrise Phoenix - I had sooo much fun making this one and I’m really happy with how it turned out. Fun fact: I drew it while on an airplane!
