Chibi Zombie Girl

Chibi Zombie Girl by Amy Crook
For Christmas Eve, also known as Zombie Yule Eve by certain people (you know who you are), I give you the very last bonus zombie from my Cthulhu Coloring Book. Starting next week, you’ll be spammed with images from my new coloring book, instead!
This style is called “chibi” or “super deformed” Japanese manga and anime artists — the giant head and body that’s 1-2 heads high, that is, not the crazy-eyed zombie part. It’s one of the styles I offer when Cartoonifying people, so I decided to do a zombie example, because really, who hasn’t wanted to be a cartoon zombie?
I’ve had a lot of fun coloring my various zombies, too. She’s done in a very soft blue with shading in grey, where the severed head she’s keeping for a snack later is done in a pale pale flesh tone with shadows in two shades of blue. Her lips are a nice blue, as well, and her sharp, sharp teeth have just a hint of blood on them.

Weeble Wednesday: Shoggoth

Weeble Shoggoth by Amy Crook
Shoggoth here is the last of my Lovecraft monsters from the Cthulhu Coloring Book, although I do still have one lonely bonus zombie yet to be colored. He’s a shapeshifting, blob-like horror, drawn on a rather grand scale when you see that he’s about to have a little snack out of the poor guy he managed to catch.
My Shoggoth design is loosely based on Mythos canon, and very influenced by the Shoggies in the webcomic Unspeakable Vault (of Doom). In fact, if you’re feeling a bit lost about all these strange monsters, that’s a great place to learn a little bit about them with a lot of humour. Personally, I learned most of it playing Arkham Horror.

Another busy weekend — I did a ton of art yesterday, actually, but none of it was really art post material yet. Oops? Anyway, here’s yet more doodles done for kind purchases of the Cthulhu Coloring Book.

Jolly Santa

Jolly Santa by Amy Crook
This is another of my holiday cards from a few years ago, and one of my all-time favorites. I just really liked the sketchy, brush-pen linework and the realistic shapes of the bones, combined with the cheery red of the Santa hat to make a very unique pirate flag indeed.
Happy Holidays!

Zombie Koi

Zombie Koi by Amy Crook
This cheerful undead fish is just looking for a few scraps of brains left for him — zombies are notoriously sloppy eaters, after all. He’s on the back cover of my Cthluhu Coloring Book (one of the bonus zombies!), and was one I was most looking forward to coloring myself. His tattered flesh glows an eerie green, but his attractive orange-and-white spots still show through in places.
