October 2024 Patron Sketches

Wednesday, December 4th, 2024

I ended up doing these guys a little late for the inevitable holiday cold reasons, but I had a really fun mix of prompts this time, at least!

7 sketch cards by Amy Crook in various media

  • Nick asked for “kissmas” after some book he likes, and gets the blorbos from my upcoming Goblin Market book instead. Sorry not sorry.
  • Andria wanted a confused jack-o-lantern.
  • Eric asked for “The Ballad” and I had fun fading this out on the left like the world in Coraline when she tries to walk away and instead walks around. (sold)
  • Kelly wanted hellfire, so I painted some fun flames and added a few lost souls for ambience. (sold)
  • SaraBeth asked for Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors, and I went for the smaller version because it’s just cuter. (sold)
  • Amy B wanted an autumnal Pod, and in autumn all Pod wants is warms.
  • Rebecca W said of course she still loves Pod (who was the cat on that post, iirc) and so I experimented a little with light and form and color for her. (sold)

September 2024 Patron Sketches

Saturday, November 2nd, 2024

Patron sketches again! I also did Drawtober, but I gave myself a mandate to just do pencil sketches in a notebook, and mostly concentrate on figure drawing, so I won’t be reposting those here. They’re free to view on Patreon, though!

8 sketch cards by Amy Crook

Eight cards for six requests, and on time, too!

  • Andria asked for birthday level-ups, and got this absolutely not from Mario 1up shroom
  • Kelly prompted “raindrops and rainbows” and I feel like this was a predictable sort of result (sold)
  • Jefferson wanted “endless swearing” and that much grawlix is quite the challenge to write! (sold)
  • Kitty Nebula just because
  • Eric wanted Dragon Fireworks and I had fun with it (sold)
  • another just because….falling stars, fireflies in the rain, who knows? (sold)
  • Amy B wanted good birthday vibes, so these cuties are for her
  • and last but absolutely not least, SaraBeth wanted Pod as Beetlejuice, and while Poddlejuice refused to wake up for his cameo, he did agree to be in the sketch (sold)

August 2024 Patreon Sketches

Wednesday, October 9th, 2024

As usual, these were requested in August, sketched in September, and are being shared here a little after that! I still have my 100 Cats project to share with y’all, but I haven’t yet figured out what format I want to use for the posts (and how much Photoshopping it will require, sigh).

8 sketch cards by Amy Crook

  • Nick and Andria both wanted coziness, so the napping purrito and autumn opossum are for them.
  • SaraBeth asked for two of my OCs, Andy and Horace. Andy is a weird shadow monster who is in full muppet mode here, lol. (sold)
  • Jefferson wanted a Galaxy Cake, ironically not the cake I had for my birthday this year. (sold)
  • Eric asked for egrets. No regrets, only egrets. (sold)
  • Kelly asked for a phoenix and got this sparkly boyo. (sold)
  • Amber wanted Calvin & Hobbes, which I am always happy to deliver. (sold)
  • I got another new pack of cool pencils and experimented with them to draw weird fire.
  • Amy B wanted a batcat for the season! (sold)
