Open for commissions! Early bookings required to accommodate disabilities 🦋 I specialize in hand-drawn 2D art in trad-digital mediums with whimsical, diverse, & nature-centric themes. Folio: bydhiyanah.carrd.co Bookings: forms.gle/xbdSuuQRwwfA... Inquiries: tally.so/r/xXlYJy #PortfolioDay #art

A hand-drawn poster featuring extracts from the artist Dhiyanah Hassan's recent commissioned work, ranging from private art to cover artwork and illustrations for book publications. Dhiyanah works in hand-drawn techniques across traditional and digital mediums, using no artificial or algorithmic machines or tools. Hand-drawn, human made, with authenticity over artifice from start to finish. For more on their artwork and to hire them for future projects, including cover art, please check out their portfolio at: bydhiyanah.carrd.co

Cover for Sailing the Golden Chersonese by Jouce Chng, painted by Dhiyanah Hassan. The art features the main character, a trans-enby and femme couple holding each other on the ship, framed by fantastical Southeast Asian Nusantara design inspired by the stories. The book cover was commissioned and published by Queen of Swords Press.

Cover art for Issue Nine of Inner Worlds magazine featuring illustration by Dhiyanah Hassan. The art shows a portrait of a person with a cap on backwards and the word 'Ace' on it. The character's hair flows to their shoulders, and there are cracks on their face where roots and leaves and flowers grow. The cracks and roots reflect each other visually, symbolizing growth through and within breakage.

Cover art for an ebook titled Honour by the author Anna Tan, painted by the artist Dhiyanah Hassan. Two archways mirror each other, one above in wooden latticework and one below in elaborate stonework, representing the two locations and families at the center of the story. The artwork focuses on architectural detail, atmosphere, and hand-drawn typography.

Meet my OCs Nada (femme-enby they/them) and Topaz (transfem she/her) 💞 They're in a poetry comic piece I made for a queer art zine that just released! The zine is free, raising support & awareness for a queer community in South Sudan: thecojsz.itch.io/we-build-a-h... #art #OCsky #comics

A dark brown non-binary femme, Nada, is holding a hand over their heart while extending the other to their transfem partner, Topaz. Topaz is also extending her hand towards Nada, both of them have glowing magic seeds with little sprouts extending from them. They are looking at each other, in awe of the moment. This is from a comic drawn and written by Dhiyanah Hassan for a collective queer art zine, We Build A Home, edited by Anker Barnabás and designed by Helene Kathinka.

A crop from a page off the graphic novel Shubeik Lubeik, or Your Wish is my Command by Deena Mohamed.

Perhaps you would wish for peace of mind, after years of turmoil
