Watercolor + colored pencil + digital touch-ups A little style test. I really want to practice with watercolors more this year.

Hey Seattle, I'll be at ECCC in the Indie Games Showcase! Fri / Sat/ Sun I'll be demoing my storytelling game Florafiora. A bunch of my friends are bringing rad games as well, do check it out! Event Schedule: www.emeraldcitycomiccon.com/en-us/experi... #eccc #ttrpg #boardgamesky #boardgames

Another game I worked on spotted at GAMA - Mythic Baths. I illustrated a bunch of cute critters. Looks like it’s releasing in June!

Another indie game market coming up! I’m bringing Florafiora, my storytelling card game - but there’s a whole list of cool games that’ll be there.

Show your range! 🌀

Sci-fi artwork has always been my achilles heel ... If you need a robot or spaceship made out of tree roots, call me.

A constellation commission for a private client last year! ❇️ They wanted a custom card illustrated - and used it as a surprise marriage proposal to their partner when they played their favorite board game together. I thought that was very sweet.

I've been craving more horror-y projects but deep down getting hired for another "draw a bunch of cute dogs" game would be ideal.

Dog!! #pokemon #pokemonfanart #pombon

🧼 ...laundry day? #b3d #pokemon #art

Lets just all become bunnies in the sky and call it a day

Finally gave my website an update after many years. Still more to do though! www.emilyhancock.com

Artist's cope:

Thinking about Spirit Island and how I designed a giraffe spirit with 6 legs and 6 arms, and then I had to draw a bunch of card illustrations with this bug horse. What was I thinking.

All the Fishsonas made for @projectforawesome.com this year!! 🎣✨ #P4A2026

I was invited to a board game night (Catan) but not my kind of board game night. (Someone just bought something esoteric I’ve never heard of and we’ll only play once). 😢

I was able to update my Board Game Geek listing! If you’ve played my game in the past and enjoyed it would you consider leaving a review? boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/28...

New Culdcept in 2026?? I thought this series was forgotten. Me and like, maybe 5 other people are so excited.

Does anybody know how Boardgame Geek's website works? My game's name changed years ago but they still won't let me update the game's listing. 😭

Hung out with the friend squad at the local con this weekend Tried to draw an anime, didn't go well

After many years I'm excited to see the Halloween game I illustrated has been announced!! Dracula's Fortune by Trick Or Treat Games icv2.com/articles/new...

Post on free art resources for figure drawing, perspective and more here! It's available for all members, including free subscribers, and I'll keep it going!

And also in February I published a free pack of images for science fiction and horror games taking advantage of the jam of the apotheosis XENO by @caligaes.itch.io roque-romero.itch.io/xeno-dumpster

I have officially launched TrueRef's new timed gesture tool (Flow) & free pose library (Pose)! Both are linked on trueref.io. While limited right now, both will contain our full free library by the 1st. 🤍 Flow: community.trueref.io/trueref_gest... Pose: community.trueref.io/free_referen...

Hello and welcome new followers!! If you aren’t aware, Bluesky has a feature called “starter packs” that help jumpstart your account by following some of the best posters on a particular topic, curated by the creator of the pack! Here is one I created in the past, with a lot of great people in it!

Copies of Florafiora made it there, with a bunch of other games from the Indie Games Night Market! Thanks @gamesandstuffmd.bsky.social

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Christmas freelancer

Realizing I haven’t been drawing much since I’ve mostly been wrestling with graphic design and rulebooks (oh no) but hopefully I can lock in again soon.

I got to go, demo my game, and hang out. The last time I went was ages ago- I’m glad it’s still going and thriving! Small but mighty, and a lot of creativity condensed into one room.

Creative overwhelm

Check out this BEAUTIFUL card art coming from @emilyhancock.bsky.social! We're huge fans and wish we were going to Pax Unplugged so that we could learn more about the game project in person! #boardgame #artist

Copies of my indie #ttrpg Florafiora are available! I’ll be closing up the shop on Sunday. If you couldn’t make it to the Indie Games Night Market this year I made a Kofi: ko-fi.com/s/aa7098e90b

I’m glad they were able to snap a photo of Florafiora - things were too hectic at the table and I forgot! A nice overview of the event.

New England folks - The Boston Festival of Indie Games is coming up Sunday December 7th! Lots of tabletop and digital games are going to be on display, definitely worth a visit. Bostonfig.com

FREELANCER TIP: THE 25% RULE! The MOMENT payment hits your bank account, calculate 25% of the value of the invoice and then transfer that amount immediately to a savings account and DO NOT TOUCH IT. THAT'S FOR TAXES. Then pay yourself the remaining 75%. Account for this when determining rates!!!
