  • Amy B asked for “hibernate” and gets a random dark fluffball hiding in a blanket burrito, with blep (sold)

August 2023 Patreon Sketches

Thursday, March 7th, 2024

Lots this month! Patreon supporters were engaged or something.

y’all asked for a LOT of cards the month before I went and got covid, dang! I’m late but not outside of September, so I’m going to consider it a win. There’s quite a range of styles this time, because I tended to get 2 done and then have to fuck off and do something else, lol. Enjoy!

  • Corinne wrote a fic where super soldiers in the MCU were also werewolves, and I had to draw chibi werewolf Red skull
  • Amy B asked for petrichor
  • Eric wanted cookies & cream and got ghost Oreos (sold)
  • Amber asked for the 1st day of school (sold)
  • SaraBeth asked for autumn vibes
  • JoVE asked for “ready for summer but it’s raining” (sold)
  • Jefferson asked for “hotberg icetub” because he loves to torment me (sold)
  • Andria wanted dragon(fruit) shaved ice
  • Nick asked for a Princely Bottom a la Red White & Royal Blue
  • Kelly wanted space! I love painting space cards, ngl. (sold)

And that’s all of them! So many!

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)

The Reaching Tree

Wednesday, June 8th, 2022

The Reaching Tree, 5″x7″ watercolor on paper

It’s a tree of a different color! Deep violet-black and slightly glittery, this amethyst paint uses real minerals to create gorgeous textures. The moon has a little extra shine of its own, as it should, but the painting is otherwise entirely monochrome.

The tree reaches into the sky, always seeking something in the way of trees. Below it, the figure has more hands than seems strictly warranted, reaching just as the tree is, though possibly not for the same thing.

Just in case, perhaps stay out of arms’ reach. If you can figure out how long that is, anyway.

The Reaching Tree, detail, by Amy Crook

Above, you can see the way the figure’s ghostly arms reach and reach. Is one of them reaching for you? Well, you can keep it safely behind glass in a frame, should you wish to.
