3	Dina M Nealey is an artist and author from UsefulNotes/{{Norway}} who specialises in hypnosis fetish art, though she does make other kinds of art too. While she mostly produces pictures and comics, she has also produced a few written works, including her genderswapped AU ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' fanfiction ''Holly Potter and the Witching World''.
4
5	Dina formerly hosted her artwork on her Website/{{Tumblr}} before Tumblr purged all NSFW content in 2016, after which she set up her own website to host her more NSFW art. After a few failed attempts with web hosts who also turned out to have problems with NSFW art, her site can now be found at https://artofdinam.com/ (front page is SFW).

7	She's also [[Tropers/{{Dina-M}} a Troper.]]
8
9	Some of her works include:
10
11	* ''The Chibi-Dina Chronicles,'' a series of short comics starring Chibi-Dina, the chibified AuthorAvatar of Dina herself. Some of them, like ''Chibi-Dina Gets Hypnotized'' (the very first comic with Chibi-Dina) are very loosely based on real events, while others, like ''Chibi-Dina's Hypno-Presentation'' (a three-part comic where Chibi-Dina attempts to demonstrate various ways of depicting hypnosis in art before things get a little out of hand) are complete fiction.
12	* ''Erotic Adventures in Faerie,'' a series of comics and one-panel gags starring Lady Vidia of the Spring Court of Faerie and her two daughters Jenny and Sovanna. Contrary to the title, not ''all'' the comics are erotic in nature... though most of them are.
13	* ''Kaa's Complaint'', a six-page comic about Sovanna meeting Kaa from ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967'', drawn by Dina as a response to the overwhelming prevalence of Kaa in hypnosis fetish artwork.
14	* ''Genie Girl Chats'', a written series with illustrations in which Dina's various original characters are informally interviewed, in the style of a chat show, by her character Zaynah the genie (though it turns out to be a front for a plot to hypnotise and enslave the other characters). Originally named ''Genie Chats'', then changed to ''Genie Girl Chats'' after the first episode after Zaynah (and Dina) realised all the guests were most likely going to be female.
15	* ''Fanfic/HollyPotterAndTheWitchingWorld'': An AlternateUniverse ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' {{fanfiction}} in which the magic world is primarily dominated by witches, with wizards being a significant minority. Most of the male characters of the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' books have been genderswapped, with a few exceptions (such as Dumbledore and Hagrid).
16	* ''Fanfic/SevenFavoursForHarryPotter'': Another AlternateUniverse ''Harry Potter'' fanfiction, this one featuring Lady Vidia and Jenny from from ''Erotic Adventures in Faerie''.
17	* ''Project ERYSS,'' a series of erotic superhero stories, taking place in the fictional city of Paragon Bay.
18
19	----
20	!!Dina and her work provide examples of:
21
22	* AllLowercaseLetters: It's important to remember that twilight the catgirl is ''"twilight,"'' not "Twilight." [[MediumAwareness She knows when you say it wrong.]]
23	* AuthorAppeal:
24	** Hypnosis and other forms of MindControl are ''very'' prevalent in her work, sometimes even sneaking into works that aren't strictly meant as hypno-fetish content.
25	** Dina is really into folklore and mythology, particularly with regard to Main/TheFairFolk. She has a few original characters who are Fae and has done a lot of artwork revolving around them, and even has a section on her website where she describes some of the different types of Fae there are.
26	** ''Chibi-Dina Does the Solaris Meme'' is done as a musical (in comic form), since Dina also likes musicals. The songs in the comic are parodies of songs from ''Theatre/ManOfLaMancha''.
27	* AuthorAvatar:
28	** Chibi-Dina, very blatantly, is "a fictionalized and much cuter version of" Dina herself.
29	** A non-chibi version of Dina also co-stars in Zombieslavegirl's story ''Huldratized'' (illustrated by Dina) and makes a naked cameo in the comic ''Turnstyles''.
30	* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Most of Dina's characters are female, and midriff-baring outfits are fairly common, especially with the Fae. It's most noticable with Lynessa, who wears a midriff-baring tank top as her default outfit -- and with Jenny, who has a bit of an UnlimitedWardrobe thing going on and yet never covers up her bellybutton.
31	* BasedOnADream: The "Semi-Creepy Jester Girl" comic was based on a dream Dina had.
32	* BasedOnATrueStory: The comics ''Chibi-Dina Gets Hypnotized'' and ''Hypno-Tits of the Goddess'', according to WordOfGod.
33	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Pretty common in ''The Chibi-Dina Chronicles'', especially in ''Chibi-Dina's Hypno-Presentation,'' where Dina and the Fae directly address the audience. ''Genie Girl Chats'' also have the character address the audience, though much of it is thanks to the format of a chat show.
34	* BigBeautifulWoman: Dina draws herself as one, being notably overweight but having a lot of {{Fanservice}} moments. As Chibi-Dina she's a self-proclaimed "chubby little hobbit," with no qualms when it comes to showing off her naked body.
35	* BilingualBonus: Sovanna's name - "sov" means "sleep" in Norwegian. As revealed in ''Genie Girl Chats'', this was intentional in-universe, since Sovanna's mother, Lady Vidia, knows Norwegian.
36	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: The Fae characters, as should come as no surprise. Lady Vidia is especially prone to acts of cruelty, even as she ''thinks'' she's being kind. Her daughters, largely thanks to a greater human influence (Jenny is half human and Sovanna grew up on human TV, movies and Internet) are more prone to see the "human" side of the argument, but even they aren't completely trustworthy by human standards and might occasionally provide some UnwantedAssistance or take a CruelToBeKind approach to things.
37	* BuffySpeak: Chibi-Dina occasionally speaks like this. When exploring a cave in the comic ''Semi-Creepy Jester Girl'' she enthusiastically deems it to be "all ''cavey'' and stuff!"
38	* ButtMonkey: Chibi-Dina gets hypnotized, used, abused, sedated. humiliated, frozen into solid blocks of ice, and, barrring the odd ThrowTheDogABone moment, very rarely ends a comic coming out on top. It's all pretty much played for laughs.
39	* {{Catgirl}}: Recurring {{Crossover}} character twilight the catgirl is... well, yes.
40	* TheChosenOne: Parodied with ''Lady Vidia and the Chosen One,'' where the titular Chosen One is a total non-entity for most of the story, and it turns out that [[spoiler: the title "Chosen One" is essentially meaningless and is just used to make victims of Fae abduction, seduction and manipulation feel special about themselves.]]
41	* ChromosomeCasting: Dina's comics and stories are dominated by female characters. The odd man or boy does appear from time to time, but the majority of them are either {{Crossover}} characters on loan from other creators, or background characters without much of a role. Ironically, the story where male characters play the biggest role is ''Holly Potter and the Witching World,'' where an important part of the setting is that women outnumber men ten to one.
42	* CostumeEvolution: Parodied in ''Chibi-Dina's New Outfit,'' where Chibi-Dina makes a big spectacle out of switching out her "outdated" main outfit, calling it a chance to renew herself, re-evaluate her style and "shake up the ol' visual status quo"... only to reveal that her new outfit is almost exactly the same as the old one, just with a pink shirt instead of a red one.
43	* {{Crossover}}: Occasionally Dina will include the avatars or characters of people she knows in her works, interacting with her own avatar or characters. She also does drawings of people's original characters as requests or commissions.
44	** Most commonly seen is twilight the catgirl (the avatar of Tropers/TwilightLord), who's not only a recurring character in ''The Chibi-Dina Chronicles'' but also appears in ''Kaa's Complaint'' -- but several others make more or less substantial cameos as well.
45	** Dina herself co-stars in the ''Huldratized'' stories by Zombieslavegirl (a.k.a. Amanda), which are the result of a cooperation between the two creators and features illustrations by Dina.
46	* CruelToBeKind: Sovanna directly names the trope in ''Kaa's Complaint'', when she knocks out titular snake out (by making a sleeping twilight fall on his head) so she can force him to take a vacation.
47	* {{Cuckoosnarker}}: Both GenkiGirl Lynessa and {{Sleepyhead}} Sovanna combine an eccentric nature with a talent for quips, but Lynessa is more Cuckoo and Sovanna is more Snarker.
48	* DeadpanSnarker: Another AuthorAppeal trope. Dina ''loves'' writing snarky dialogue, so many of her comics and stories take place in a WorldOfSnark. Special mention must to Chibi-Dina herself -- and to Sovanna, who ([[NiceGirl while a lot more sweet-natured than most snarkers]]) can take her snark so far that [[https://artofdinam.com/index.php/sovannas-lecture/ she'll start a mock night school and set herself up as a lecturer with a blackboard, illustrations and extensive notes]] just to make fun of "Internet commenters, meme creators and comedians" who just rely on CommonKnowledge and don't bother to do any research.
49	* DisappearedDad: Lady Vidia's daughters don't seem to have grown up with any kind of father figure in their lives. All we really know is that they don't have the same father; Jenny's a HalfHumanHybrid and her father has been briefly mentioned as being a Norwegian man (plus a few vague statements that Jenny was conceived at Woodstock in 1969), but all we know about Sovanna's father is that he must have been Fae.
50	** Averted in ''Seven Favours for Harry Potter,'' where Jenny's father is revealed to be [[spoiler:Aberforth Dumbledore]], but this is confirmed to be an AlternateUniverse version of the character, and the "regular" Jenny's father remains unidentified.
51	* EveryoneIsBi: A bit of a recurring theme with Dina's works, partly as a reflection of her own pansexuality and partly because [[ChromosomeCasting the vast majority of her characters are female]]. ''Fanfic/HollyPotterAndTheWitchingWorld'' actively discusses the trope, pointing out that most witches and wizards are bisexual (though there are exceptions, such as Albus Dumbledore being completely gay), but most other works by Dina have a sort of "casually bi" vibe going on, with it often being taken for granted that sexual attraction isn't limited to one gender (or one sex).
52	* TheFairFolk: Dina has a few Fae characters, most prominently the elf characters Lady Vidia and her daughter Sovanna, and Sovanna's half-sister Jennivah (a.k.a. Jenny or Jenny Jump), who's half-elf and half-human.
53	* FairySexy: Tall, willowy and often skimpily-dressed or outright naked, Lady Vidia is very much a ShamelessFanserviceGirl. Her two daughters are also very easy on the eye and like skimpy clothing, but Sovanna is more of an InnocentFanserviceGirl, while Jenny switches between Innocent and Shameless.
54	* FatAndProud: While "proud" may be a slight stretch, Dina draws herself (in both chibi and normal form) as chubby, and has mentioned before that she has no problem describing herself as fat, explaining that she uses it simply as a descriptor and nothing more.
55	* FeaturelessProtagonist: In ''Lady Vidia and the Chosen One'' the titular Chosen One is the POVCam character who never gets any dialogue, never has any parts of them visible, and [[PinballProtagonist never actively does anything]] until the very end of the comic (but by then [[spoiler: they have been transformed into a female pixie and given the name Lavender, and is no longer the same person]]). Neither Lady Vidia nor her daughters ever use any name or gender pronouns, so we have no idea about their identity, personality, race, skin color, age, sex or gender. All we can say for sure is that they are a mortal (i.e. not a Fae) and probably a human, since Jenny casually mentions humans. At the end of the comic, there's a new FeaturelessProtagonist, with the same deal.
56	* ForcedTransformation: Happens to [[spoiler:the POVCam protagonist in ''Lady Vidia and the Chosen One,'' who is transformed into a pixie by the Lady's helpful, but misguided daughters.]]
57	* GenkiGirl: Lynessa is very energetic and cheerful, and a bit of a MotorMouth.
58	* GoingCommando: A few comics, like ''Chibi-Dina's New Outfit'' and the second ''Hypnoween'' comic, confirm that Chibi-Dina often goes without underwear. Also implied, though not directly stated, with the Fae characters.
59	* GoodAngelBadAngel: In one of the two-panel comics from ''The Chibi-Dina Chronicles,'' Chibi-Dina gets tiny angel and devil versions of herself, who disagree on whether she should do more or less hypno-art.
60	* HalfHumanHybrid: Jenny is half Fae and half human. According to Lady Vidia, she was conceived at Woodstock.
61	* HalloweenEpisode: The ''Chibi-Dina's Hypnoween'' comics. Dina claims not to be a big fan of holiday-themed episodes, but makes and exception for Halloween because "a good spooky story can be enjoyed at any time of the year."
62	* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Several of the Fae, as Fae culture seems to have NoNudityTaboo. Lady Vidia, however, is ''definitely'' a ShamelessFanserviceGirl.
63	* InstantSedation: Parodied, along with NonFatalExplosions, in ''Chibi-Dina's Sleepy Time,'' where an ether explosion instantly puts Dina to sleep -- but otherwise, outside some nudity-revealing ClothingDamage, leaves her unharmed. Narrative captions {{Lampshade}} that an ether explosion would be lethal in real life, but since "Chibi-Dina lives in a fictionalized reality" the effect is simply InstantSedation.
64	* MeaningfulName: Sovanna's name has two layers of this. As revealed in ''Genie Girl Chats'' episode one, the name "Sovanna" means "golden" or "dream" in Khmer. However, "sov" means "sleep" in Norwegian, meaning her name can also be read as "Sleep-Anna" - fitting, since Sovanna is very easy to hypnotise.
65	* MediumAwareness: Happens a couple of times.
66	** In ''Chibi-Dina Does the Solaris Meme,'' twilight the catgirl can apparently tell when her name isn't pronouced with the appropriate AllLowercaseLetters.
67	** In ''Genie Girl Chats'' Zaynah occasionally comments on the format of the show, such as pointing out that voice distortion is unnecessary when you're in a text format.
68	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Shows up In a few comics, usually as part of a hypnotic spell.
69	** In ''Lady Vidia and the Chosen One,'' Lady Vidia hypnotizes and orders [[spoiler: Jenny and Sovanna]] to forget about the events of the comics, as well as [[spoiler:the FeaturelessProtagonist to forget who they were pre-transformation.]]
70	** Played for comedy in a couple of Chibi-Dina comics, where Chibi-Dina is hypnotized to forget whatever perverted things she did while in trance. In ''Chibi-Dina's Hypnoslave Break,'' she doesn't even get dressed afterwards; after the titular break is over she obliviously goes back to her drawing while still naked,
71	* LifeEmbellished: Some of the ''Chibi-Dina Chronicles'' are "loosely based on real life events."
72	* LimitedWardrobe: Averted by the Fae characters, who [[UnlimitedWardrobe seldom wear the same outfit twice]], but played straight with most other recurring characters. Chibi-Dina ironically comments on her own LimitedWardrobe she gets a (very minor) CostumeEvolution in the comic ''Chibi-Dina's New Outfit.''
73	-->"But who says I always have to always wear the same outfit anyway? What am I, a cartoon character?"
74	* MyEyesAreUpHere: Played with in ''Lady Vidia and the Chosen One.'' When the POVCam spends several panels focusing on Lady Vidia's breasts, she says "You know, I'm told I have some very lovely eyes... and they're ''up here.'' This turns out to be a ploy, as the only reason she wanted the POVCam to focus on her eyes was so she could use her HypnoticGaze. [[spoiler:At the end of the comic, the trope is inverted with Lavender, who gets annoyed when the POVCam focuses on her eyes and says "my tits are down ''here.'' Why aren't you looking at them?" And then proceeds to demonstrate that in her case, it's her bare breasts that are hypnotic.]]
75	* MysteriousMiddleInitial: According to Dina, the M stands for "Anything you want!"
76	* NakedOnArrival: Chibi-Dina is naked in the very first chapter of the Chibi-Dina Chronicles. She frequently gets naked in subsequent appearances too.
77	* NiceGirl:
78	** Sovanna, ''especially'' by Fae standards. Though she has a few BewareTheNiceOnes moments, she's generally the friendliest and most easy-going of the Fae characters.
79	** Lynessa is sweet-natured and cheerful, and seems [[EasilyForgiven incapable of bearing a grudge]].
80	* OlderThanTheyLook: It comes with being a HalfHumanHybrid and having a mother that's ReallySevenHundredYearsOld, but if Jenny truly was conceived at Woodstock in 1969, she certainly doesn't look her age. (In ''Seven Favours for Harry Potter'', an alternate version of Jenny was born in 1930 but looks and acts exactly the same.)
81	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname:
82	** Implied with the Fae, who seldom if ever share their true names with anyone.
83	** Jenny's "formal name" is "Lady Jenivah," but everyone simply calls her "Jenny" or "Jenny Jump."
84	* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Lynessa is a shapeshifting dragon from the "Desert of Dreams," who's been cursed to take on the form of a redheaded young girl. She can temporarily resume her dragon form with all its powers (such as flight, breathing fire and enhanced strength), but reverts to human form when she gets tired.
85	* PinballProtagonist:
86	** Chibi-Dina in the ''Whatever Happened to Chibi-Dina?'' arc. She spends pretty much the entire story asleep or in trance, as she's pushed around, kidnapped, put to sleep, hypnotized, painted orange and shaved bald, bathed, given RapunzelHair and pixie cuts, transformed, seduced and toyed with by everyone who happens to come across her.
87	** Exaggerated with the FeaturelessProtagonist in ''Lady Vidia and the Chosen One'', who never says or does anything at all until the last couple of scenes [[spoiler:when they have been transformed into a flitling and is essentially a different character]].
88	* PinkMeansFeminine: Chibi-Dina, post-CostumeEvolution, wears a pink shirt as part of her default outfit. On a related note, pink is very much the dominant color on the ''Art of Dina M'' website.
89	* PsmithPsyndrome: As mentioned elsewhere on the page, twilight can tell when you're saying her name with a capital T.
90	* PornWithPlot: Pretty much a staple of Dina's more sexually explicit works. Even though the story may be very heavy on the sex, the story is usually more important than the fucking.
91	* POVCam: Most of the comic ''Lady Vidia and the Chosen One'' is shown from the perspective of the titular Chosen One, who is a FeaturelessProtagonist... and also a total PinballProtagonist who never takes any active part in the story, until the very end when the POV cam is broken.
92	* PrefersGoingBarefoot: Chibi-Dina rarely wears shoes or socks, unless she's outside in the winter. Lady Vidia and her daughters also never wear shoes or socks, though they have more of a MagicalBarefooter thing going on.
93	* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Lady Vidia has been around for a long time.
94	* RhymesOnADime: The Semi-Creepy Jester Girl talks like this.
95	* SelfDeprecation: Some of the Chibi-Dina comics is mainly Dina poking fun at herself.
96	* ShoutOut:
97	** It has been noted on several occasions that Chibi-Dina, with her chubby build, short stature and tendency to go barefoot, looks a lot like a [[{{Hobbits}} hobbit.]]
98	** The toy hypno gun from ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'' (something Dina is also a big fan of) makes an appearance in ''Chibi-Dina's Hypno-Presentation'', complete with a variation on the classic "Bing! You're hypnotized!" line. Sovanna's line in that same panel is also a reference to a ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' fan-comic popular in the hypnosis fetish community.
99	** In ''Kaa's Complaint'', when Kaa is complaining about all the fictional characters people have him hypnotise in fan works, Starfire from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', Misty from ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', Pinkie Pie from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' and Shantae from ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'' are shown in the background. Kaa also references Starfire directly with his line "Do you know how hard it is to use my hypnotic gaze on someone who fires laser beams from her eyes?!" in the same panel.
100	** ''Chibi-Dina Does the Solaris Meme'' parodies four songs from the musical ''Theatre/ManOfLaMancha'': "Man of La Mancha (I, Don Quixote)", "The Impossible Dream", "Little Bird, Little Bird" and "To Each His Dulcinea", in that order.
101	* SssnakeTalk: Downplayed with Kaa in the ''Kaa's Complaint'' comic. He only draws out the occasional S, and mostly for emphasis.
102	* SourSupporter: Jenny can be one to Lady Vidia. While she ''is'' loyal to her mother and never acts against her, most of their interactions do seem to involve Jenny in some form (and usually with an annoyed expression) calling Lady Vidia out on her actions.
103	* SuperDeformed: Dina's "Chibi" art and comics take on this style. Chibi-Dina is the most prominent example.
104	* TakeThat: There are a couple of them in her comics.
105	** ''Kaa's Complaint'' is a small, mostly good-natured one to the over-use of Kaa in the hypno-art community.
106	** ''Semi-Creepy Jester Girl Strikes Again'' is a slightly less good-natured one to several trends in the hypno-art community that Dina doesn't like, most notably the so-called hypno-manips (photos of celebrities or still images from movies, where Photoshop or another image manipulator has been used to give them spiral eyes so they look hypnotized). According to Dina's commentary, a few manippers got angry with her over this one.
107	* UnlimitedWardrobe: While characters like Chibi-Dina and Lynessa have a bit of a LimitedWardrobe going on, the Fae characters are wearing new outfits for almost every appearance they make. There are some recurring themes: all of them are [[MagicalBarefooter always barefoot]] and tend to show some amount of skin; Lady Vidia is always wearing dark red and gold in some combination, and ''always'' wears an ankle ring; Jenny always bares her midriff and is the only one of them who might wear pants or leggings, and Sovanna is often (though not always) more modestly dressed, even if she never wears sleeves or covers her legs below the knees. Other than that, their outfits vary greatly and it's very rare for any of them to wear the same outfit twice.
108	* VagueAge: Sovanna appears to be in her late teens or early 20s... though she admits that, thanks to the fluid nature of time in Faerie, she has no idea how old she is. All she can really say is that she's "probably younger than the Internet."
109	* VillainousHarlequin: The Semi-Creepy Jester Girl is a version of this, though her acts of villainy seems limited to showing up at random to hypnotize people (mostly Chibi-Dina) or to play corruptor and conveyor of bad ideas. She's also calmer and more mysterious than most examples of the trope, her face hidden behind a doll-like WhiteMaskOfDoom.
110	* VillainProtagonist: Lady Vidia flirts with the trope in the comics where she's the main character. While generally polite, friendly and calm, she's got no qualms about hypnotizing, manipulating and using people, or taking petty revenge for slight or even perceived insults.
111	* WeakWilled: Sovanna, who is so easy to hypnotize that in ''Chibi-Dina's Hypno-Presentation'', Chibi-Dina is able to put her under just by poking her nose and saying "'''''SLEEP BEEP!'''''". This is likely because Lady Vidia, not the most patient of parents, had no qualms about hypnotizing her daughters to sleep if they didn't want to go to bed when they were told, or just if she wanted them to stay out of trouble for a while. It's hinted that Sovanna, who already has a few {{Sleepyhead}} traits, mostly goes along with it because she enjoys the sensation, and is capable of resisting if she wants to... at least she {{No Sell}}s Kaa's attempt to hypnotize her in ''Kaa's Complaint,'' mainly because she's annoyed with him at the time.
