Mother Hydra

Mother Hydra cartoon by Amy Crook

Mother Hydra cartoon by Amy Crook, $69

I’ve taken some liberties here and used a more classic interpretation of a hydra, rather than the Lovecraftian description of Father Dagon’s bride. There’s just no way to make a vast pool of screaming faces cute, really.

As it is, I can totally imagine at least one of her heads yelling, “No more wire hangers!” She’s even got pearls and lovely pink-painted claws nails.

Just don’t mention the screaming faces and monstrous claws pressing against her heavy, pregnant belly. Or think about what sort of monsters she’s the mother of, if you want to sleep tonight.

Mother Hydra, 5″x7″ pen and ink and Copic markers on paper, $69 with free shipping.

Cthulhu Dreams of Love

Cthulhu Dreams of Love by Amy Crook

Cthulhu Dreams of Love by Amy Crook, $69

Cthulhu gets a Valentine! Of course his love-dreams could be for a birthday, anniversary or just because, but it’s that season and I drew him with that in mind.

That said, my favorite part is the button-eyed Hound of Tindalos plush toy. He’s holding its paw! Aww, Cthulhu, we never knew you were such a softie.

Cthulhu with a Kitten doodle

Cthulhu with a Kitten sketch by Amy Crook

Cthulhu with a Kitten sketch by Amy Crook

Another little Coloring Book doodle! Cthulhu is quite dubious that he’s not supposed to eat the kitten, but I’m sure he’ll come around.

Happy New Year!

Old-Fashioned Ornaments, set 2

Old-Fashioned Ornaments, set 2, by Amy Crook

Old-Fashioned Ornaments, set 2, by Amy Crook

Pardon the terrible photography, I’ll try to take a better one when the sun’s back up. I finally managed to assemble my second set of old-fashioned paper ornaments, this one with slightly different art. I kept the star but hung it at a different angle, and then made Cthulhu himself and an Elder Sign (Lovecraft style) to go with it.

These ornaments are a huge pain to make, but it’s almost fun in that way where it appeals to my meticulous nature, so I might make a few extra sets next year. We’ll see!

Tentacle Monster Sketch

Tentacle Monster sketch by Amy Crook

Tentacle Monster sketch by Amy Crook

I saved this guy for Tuesday for obvious reasons. I’m not sure if he’s Lovecraftian or just really creepy, but he was fun to draw, like a Van Gogh sunflower gone very, very wrong.

Elder Thing sketch

Elder Thing sketch by Amy Crook

Elder Thing sketch by Amy Crook

Another little coloring book sketch! This one is a proper Lovecraftian beastie, the Elder Thing, which is symmetrical along five sides instead of bilaterally. I didn’t really look up all the details, so I’m pretty sure I got some of the bits not quite right, but I don’t really mind. He looks beastly enough like this.

Cuppa Shoggoth?

Cuppa Shoggoth? sketch by Amy Crook

Cuppa Shoggoth? sketch by Amy Crook

I’m still not feeling well, so I’ll just let this little coloring book doodle (that is, one of the sketches I usually draw in the inside front cover whenever someone buys a Cthulhu Coloring Book or Monster Heart Coloring Book) speak for itself.

Or something.
