This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

hello #portfolioday

Im a queer illustrator from the mountains of north carolina drawing flat fantasy. I've done work for mtg, videogames, beer labels, podcast art and socks, but my favorite work tends to be personal commissions.

2024 limited color dnd commission

a tiefling rocks back on the legs of a stool- consulting a tome for crafting recipes. materials for their task lay around their studio.

2025 limited color group commission

Inside a smokey dining room aboard a river boat pirate ship, a group of adventurers blow off steam. From left to right, an anxious squirrel has drunken to excess, a spirited otter teases them and toasts. A paternalistic skunk with a metal arm scolds them, while a delirious herbalist rabbit offers a solution, and the groups tinkerer, a sparrow, sits with an impulse of a food fight within reach.

2025 - crop from a limited tone fantasy family portrait

Two adventurers walk in the rain on a board walk in the woods, one with a bow at the ready, the other excitedly pulling her close. Their cat looks towards the foreground, where a dragonfly rests on a flower.

2024 full color commission

perched on a dumpster, a wolf in a heavy coat uses a small chunky laptop. Power lines extend into a rainy multicolored light shadow of a city behind him.

a full body digital drawing of season one era ed and stede from our flag means death. they are standing back to back.

stede is colorblocked in a light teal, and ed in a light blue/purple in a sort of 60s cartoon inspired way. there are stars and line accents around them, as well as a few xoxo’s. above them is a little pink heart

A digital illustration of a POV shot of a person harvesting cherry tomatoes while two cats look up at you from the ground. The stylized lighting and pale but bright colors make it feel like a hot summer day. Watermark: AnnaDaviscourt.com

my frame!!!!

An illustration of a screenshot from our flag means death. The scene is between Ed and Stede, where they are kissing on the revenge during nighttime, standing by the side of the ship between two cannons. On the left there is rigging and rope. They are standing in the middle, and behind them over the side of the boat the moon can be seen in the sky. The colours are dark and blue tones, with the moon a light cream lighting the sea below.

Commissions open! I have five slots available for late March! Email me at hannahlockillustration@gmail.com with what you’d like and I’ll get a quote to you. If you’re based in the UK and your commission size is small, I might be able to squeeze you in.
