Almost 1k new people found my little cloud in this sky in less than a day. Thank you so much!

I'm Dianita, fantasy artist from Mexico currently in TX. You'll find that I love Medusa and that I include animals in most of my art. I illustrated a tarot deck for Llewellyn too! (March 2025).

🥰

Painting of Medusa hiding in a pond surrounded by rocks. She's right in front of an unicorn looking directly at her. A scary forest int he background, and her chasers to the distance.

Painting of Medusa, with colorful snakes on her head that have a tornasol kind of effect. White dress and a ouroboros symbol on her chest.

Portrait of a Black woman or female representing person looking at us. Her hair is blue, curly. Dark red lips. Stars can be seen in her hair and a Voyager probe can be seen on our left.

White horse flying through yellow clouds. Moon and stars can be seen on the background. Galaxy type of wings and surrounded by monarch butterflies.

At DragonCon's Art Show! After a messy start and probably horrifying my neighbor with the mess behind my table, I was able to set up through the day! Find me at table 91!

We're inside the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, and ask for the Art Show! (It's like a hidden spot, so please ask the staff!)

✨ Prints are on saIe for just a bit longer ✨

A painting of a woman submerged in cosmic energy holds an orb. The orb is absorbing all of the light and energy in the galaxy, creating gravitational waves of prisms.

I'm almost done with this memorial portrait 💜

It means a lot to me when someone approaches me to create a piece to remember their furry friends. It's a very special request, that hopefully will bring smiles and good memories even in their absence.

Acrylics on paper.

Thank you!! I usually don't go this route. It was going to be just with a white background but last night I was feeling that something was missing. That's how the background came to be and the idea shows even stronger than I expected 🥲

I achieved a milestone with this piece, I was so happy!

Thank you!!!

Art by Dianita @dianita.bsky.social · Jul 15

Thank you so much! Honestly, since I was new to Tarot back then, I didn't know that there was a similar detail on the classic card! I learned as I was painting it =D

"The Moon"
Unbridled Spirit Tarot
Oils on Paper.2023

A favorite for Tina (writer) and I.🥰It has a horse and a creepy vibe, how could I not have it close to my heart?

Our deck features horses in human history (sports, work, folklore,etc)

www.llewellyn.com/product.php?...
(video shows the cards)

The Moon card that I illustrated for the Unbridled Spirit Tarot. Is a dark image of a moorland where a gray horse with long hair is looking at us. It's standing inside a water body surrounded by grass and fireflies. The moon shines on the back.

Hi friends💜
I've been very disconnected from everything lately. I've also forgot that I finished 79 paintings for the Unbridled Spirit Tarot (2021-2023) and now that it's out, I don't have to hide them anymore!

I just made a listing for the Major Arcana prints🥰

You're very welcome! I'm super happy to share what's behind my art if someone wants to read/hear it🥰

Art by Dianita @dianita.bsky.social · May 28

Thank you so much! I made a drawing a long time ago. I named it "where dreams are born" and it was a drawing of a lady with long hair that connected with the horse's mane. I recently found it again and felt a strong connection to it, so I made it more current 🥰
