June 2023 Patreon Sketches
Thursday, February 29th, 2024
More sketches, complete with vintage text from the original Patreon post, lol.
I have triumphed over my dysfunctional executives and done this month’s sketch cards, huzzah!
- Jefferson asked for “Shoggoth Pocky” and watch out, it bites back. (sold)
- Nick asked for “mlm (but also wlw)” and I punned at him, a Wooloo sporting mlm colors, because we pronounce these acronyms “mlem” and “wooloo” in our household.
- Andria asked for dark purple ranunculus and I experimented with some fun texture stuff that you totally can’t see here! But it looks great lol. (sold)
- Amy B wanted an axolotl, and despite my inability to spell it on the first try, I did a chibi version for her. (sold)

May 2023 Patreon Sketches
Monday, February 26th, 2024
Another small batch of monthly sketches, for those Patreon supporters who dropped me a prompt!
Got ’em done under the wire! As you can see, the requests were full of kitties, which seems predictable given everything. XD
- Amy B asked for a kitty monkey-climbing, and got this orange sketchy boy going up a shelf like it’s his job. (sold)
- SaraBeth Ray asked for kitty heaven, and so we have this little abstract kitty-soul surrounded by many favorite things! (sold)
- Eric wanted mermay but cats, and gets this mermeow in soothing green and blue. (sold)
- Jefferson quoted a favorite in-joke, “Where’s my melon scoop!” which is a line from Tony Shalhoub in Stark Raving Mad. I had to do some googling to recreate that terrible 90s facial hair. (sold)

March 2023 Patreon sketches
Tuesday, May 2nd, 2023
It’s spring here, and mostly that means sinus headaches, whee. I had fun with these Patreon supporter sketches, though, especially the addition to my 100 Cats series. Which is almost done! I hope you’re having a lovely May, and aren’t actually a cylon.
March 2023 ACEO sketches by Amy Crook
- Amy B asked for a monkey, and gets this napping weirdo. (sold)
- Jefferson asked for a cylon, and gets the true leader of them. Cats, after all, do things by no one’s command. (sold)
- Rey prompted “frak you, pay me!” and got a slightly abstract being of pure fiery righteousness, shaking their fist at the powers above, finished work at their back. (sold)
- Eric asked for Willow, and I couldn’t resist drawing Jade, because her hair is amazing, her freckles are amazing, and her grumpiness is amazing. I don’t know what happened here but I’d be grumpy, too, tbh. (sold)
And with this, we are caught up entirely! But don’t worry, there’s 100 Cats to start posting soon…

We’re catching up! Next week you’ll have freshly posted sketches, and then you’ll have to wait another month to get more. Of course, there’s still the #100cats project coming…
February 2023 ACEO sketches by Amy Crook
- Jefferson asked for DunDraCon and I gave him this very inside joke. (sold)
- Amy B asked for platypus and instead got Agent T, aka Tater the Catypus.
- Eric asked for Formaldehyde, and got a beaker full of her. (sold)
- And I just felt like painting a corvid again, it’s been so long!

August 2022 Patreon sketches
Thursday, April 6th, 2023
So many requests that month! I had a lot of fun with them, despite a head cold that took out our whole household (but wasn’t covid, whew).

July 2022 Patreon sketches
Tuesday, April 4th, 2023
Plus a bunch of bonus corvids! I wanted to do some gestural corvids, hilariously unrelated to the poll earlier, just to keep up my practice of loose, interesting birbs.
July 2022 ACEO sketches by Amy Crook
Only 2 people actually asked for things in July, so we have:
- Jefferson, who asked for Iron Chef Klingon and gets deconstructed disgustingness (sold)
- a purple crow giving some side-eye (sold)
- a rainbow crow giving some serious side-eye (sold)
- some crows flying through a gorgeous sunrise, inspired by Shayla Maddox’s current photo project (pretty sure this one’s been claimed too)
- A bi pride sea turtle for Andria, the only piece to use an actual pen (for the purple bits) outside of the signature, heh (sold)
- and a fluffed-up blue corvid having a bloody red treat (sold)
I actually used references for everything but the food, though I googled Klingon names to give our chef his moniker. I also mentally wrote some weird fanfic in my head about this dish while doodling, so, uh. Enjoy the grossness?
