Bilbo and Smaug Bookmark 2

Bilbo and Smaug Bookmark 2 by Amy Crook

Here, there be dragons! Well, dragon. Well, Smaug.

After I sold the first Bilbo & Smaug bookmark, I drew up a second one for someone else who’d asked after it. I went a little more elaborate on this one, intending to use it for promo bookmarks, just like yesterday’s Spock. It’s still sketchy and whimsical, but with more elaborate coloring and a bit of gold to go with the big purple dragon.

If you’d like a bookmark of your own, there’s still a few left from prior Bookmark Weeks!

Live Long and Prosper

Live Long and Prosper, Star Trek fan art by Amy Crook

I’ve decided to start pricing my fan art using my own formula for commissions, which makes it much easier on me (and you!) to figure out how much stuff should be. I drew up this Spock intending to use him on some promo bookmarks to go in Etsy packages, though I haven’t printed any yet. I rather enjoy his little cartoon LLAP sign, though. Fingers, shmingers, he’s got as many as he needs!

Above, you can see Spock and his raised eyebrow and cute little paw-hand up close and personal. Below, he’s in a frame with a chibi version of himself. Because of reasons.

Heron

Heron watercolor by Amy Crook

I painted the background for this heron a while back, and then decided to put the bird in by the request of a patron. And by patron I mean my mom, who has already bought and paid for it. Hi, Mom!

Heron, 8″x8″ watercolor on paper, nfs (sold).

Above, you can just see the tiny bit of iridescent paint hiding in the heron’s details, mainly along the crest feather and the darkest bits of the body feathers. Below, you can see it in a frame, proving once again that electronics hate to reproduce certain shades of blue.

Dealing With a Child

Dealing With a Child, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

This is one of my favorite moments with the good Detective Inspector, when he’s all sprawled out in Sherlock’s chair, a cheerful grin on his face, giving Sherlock crap for being a dick. It worked so well I thought it might make a fun Father’s Day card, in fact, to go with Mrs. Hudson for Mother’s Day, since that’s often the role he seems to embody in Sherlock’s life.

Gee, Thanks

Gee, Thanks, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

Everyone in a certain corner of the internet knows that John Watson and this horrible kitten sweater were meant for each other, creepy staring blue doll eyes and all. Sherlock, on the other hand, disagrees. But then, he would.

Above, you can see the horrible sweater up close. Staring at you. Always staring.

Below, you can see the card all printed out and ready to horrify your loved ones!

No Resemblance

No Resemblance, a Spock & Sherlock comic
by Amy Crook

This little comic was suggested to me on Twitter back in November, and it’s taken me this long to get around to drawing it. The two tall, slender, logical, dark-haired men don’t see any resemblance, but I’m guessing you do.

Random artist trivia: normally I’m very good at spelling, but I have some sort of mental block with the a in “resemblance,” and keep spelling it with all ‘e’s and having to fix it, including in the pencils for the comic. Good thing I decided to spell check myself!

Above, you can see how I’ve given them very similar features, down to the hair color and eyebrow lift. Below, I’ve tucked them into a frame with Sherlock’s skull, which I’m sure Spock would find fascinating.

Not Your Housekeeper

Not Your Housekeeper, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

The Other Amy is a wonderful customer of my Etsy shop, and she wrote me a little note to see if I was going to make a Mrs. Hudson card for Mother’s day. I hadn’t been planning to, but I thought her idea was so cute I drew it up! There’s going to be a matching card for Father’s Day with our favorite detective inspector, so watch out for that next week.
