Objects in Painting May Be Smaller Than They Appear by Amy Crook
I painted this with a model a few years back, and I’ve always really loved the way it came out, the soothing blues and brush strokes combined with the pensive expression on the model. I went through a period of rebellion against the Renaissance tendency to paint nude men as though it was a very cold day indeed, and in this case ended up giving the model a bit of a boost (though it was a warm room) and that’s where the painting’s title comes from.
This painting is unframed but ready to hang as is.

Weeble Wednesday: Ruby

Weeble Ruby by Amy Crook
Continuing with friends of mine, this week we have my friend Ruby. She secretly loves the color pink, so I used my markers to good effect, and show her playing with her favorite toy at the time, her Nintendo DS (she cheats on it with her iPhone now). It was fun doing drawings of my friends, because I could really load up on the props — she’s also got a rose (that goes with her username), and her special walking shoes.
If you like these, remember that you, too, can be a cartoon for just $79.

Weeble Cthulhu

Weeble Cthulhu by Amy Crook
As promised, I’m reposting Weeble Cthulhu from earlier this year so he’s hiding in amongst my daily art for those seeking out my (so far rather small) series of Lovecraftian weebles. He’s got his pet Shoggoth with him with his bowl of cultist snacks and everything.
I made a greeting card out of him for Valentine’s Day that said, “Cthulhu wanted to give you a heart, but they were all too small and squishy.” They sold so well I took off the “Happy Valentine’s Day” and have left them up on the shop ever since.

Pink Octopus

Pink Octopus by Amy Crook
A few years back (2006 says the signature!), we visited the Baltimore Aquarium when they had their octopus. He was just so adorable, pink and friendly, and he had this little puzzle-box full of shrimp that we declared was his purse. I spent a long time watching him, studying the way his limbs met his body and the decidedly un-graceful curls and squiggles of his long tentacles, especially the way they attenuated at the very ends.
So, when I got home, I had to draw him! I gave him a purse full of shrimp, and used my “Prawn” copic marker to color him. I ran across him while I was looking for some other files, and I thought I’d share him with you as a lazy Saturday post.

Ink Roses

Ink Rose 2 by Amy Crook
I drew these a while back as a set of clip art for a project that never got off the ground. I always did enjoy adding little illustrative touches to my designs, and of course I swear I covered half my notes in high school with drawings of roses. One of the dangers of being a young Goth, I suppose.
I really do like the brush pen work here, full of quivery, half-there lines that give a real sense of texture and delicacy to the flowers, leaves, and stems. Something good to remember next time I’m inking!

All Tied Up

All Tied Up, assembled view, by Amy Crook
This is the third of my bronze people series, another female domination pose with very extreme bondage indeed this time. I sculpted the male figure as usual, and then wrapped the whole thing in waxed twine, which I then also used for the woman’s hair. I ended up fattening certain parts of his anatomy to match up with his newer, more buffed-up figure — the rope added a lot to his general size while keeping the contours of his shape.

Like the previous set, these two come apart and fit together like rather naughty toys. These two are much more straightforward in how they fit, and she can also do a somewhat awkward reverse cowgirl over his eager mouth.
