Geronimo! 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
Finally, I’ve finished the third of my commission series I’m calling All the Doctors. My patron’s been very patient with the pace on these!
The eleventh Doctor has belatedly* arrived in his finery, all decked out with his tweed coat and watch chain and the whole later seasons getup. He’s got a different waistcoat, shirt, and tie on than in the promo photos, which I referenced from stills out of the show. I particularly like the polka dots on the bowtie — what’s your favorite detail?
*but not 11 years late

Dream Heroes

Dream Heroes, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
Here are two more commissions for cute chibis to use on Slack as emoji! The patron wanted a set of superheroes, and was open to letting me design the costumes to fit the characters. This explains why Eames is looking very Super in certain areas, where Arthur is sleeker and more no-nonsense. Eames wanted some coral in his costume but it didn’t work well with the gold boots and belt, so we borrowed Arthur’s tasteful lavender instead.
These are drawn as close to a square aspect ratio as possible, so that they work as emoji on Slack. Their adorable 2-head-high chibi style conveys a lot of personality in a tiny space.

MI6 Cheerleaders, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
I sold two more commission spots for cute chibis to use on Slack as emoji, and this is the second. This patron wanted to switch up the fandoms and have Bond and Q as cheerleaders, for cheering on their fellow artists, writers, and favorite humans.

Wolf Whistle, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
I sold two more commission spots for cute chibis to use on Slack as emoji, and this is the first! The patron wanted a blushing, embarrassed Arthur and a wolf-whistling Eames to go with him. We’ve found both very useful in everyday conversation, which probably tells you a lot about our ridiculous chats.

Emerald City

Emerald City, 12.2″x9.1″ watercolor on L’Aquarelle Canson Héritage paper
This city comes with a story — someone asked whether my Rainy City parasol was from the Wizard of Oz, and while that wasn’t, this one is.
Brighter greens and a beautiful orange sunset make this a much brighter city, too. The clouds were dyed a bit green from the glow of the city below, which stays away from mundane building shapes and strays into the fantastic, the strange, and the glorious.
What fantastical land have you always wanted to visit?*
*My answer? All of them
Emerald City, detail, by Amy Crook
Above, you can see a close-up of one of my favorite buildings in this fantastical cityscape, and a flying monkey circling overhead. Below, this city glows in its frame, the colors a brilliance that will brighten up your space.

May 2017 Patreon patron sketches by Amy Crook
June is just around the corner and now’s a great time to become my patron on Patreon! Here’s last month’s sketches, all of which turned out to be bookmarks for various reasons.
Roxanne asked for “Winter Soldier” and I gave her a chibi cutie. Kim wanted “mist” so I experimented with my watercolors for this beautiful, mysterious tower. Eric asked for my cat Pod as Morgana from Persona, with a special nod to his bagel-thieving ways. And finally, Jeff asked for “giving in to temptation” and has been enjoying the new Twin Peaks, so he got the inevitable donut cartoon.
What would you like to see me draw?

Smug Bond & Exasperated Q

Smug Bond & Exasperated Q, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
Last month, I put out a limited number of spots for chibi emoji commissions on my tumblr, and this is the second pair! James Bond, notorious 007, is very smug about something. Something that’s got Q frowning and scolding him, so basically, business as usual.
