June 2025 Patreon Sketches

Sunday, June 29th, 2025

You may have noticed that May is conspicuously absent, and that’s because I did the wrong month’s prompts, whoops. May’s will be next month, promise!

8 sketch cards by Amy Crook

  • Eric asked for Han, Lando, and/or Hondo, and Hondo Ohnaka won the impromptu housemate poll so here he is. (sold)
  • Jeff prompted “purple prank” and got a purple-ized version of my favorite internet joke. He’s no stranger to love, you guys. (sold)
  • Amy B asked for some kind of critter and fortunately or unfortunately, this little cookie thief is what happened.
  • Shannon asked for a yelling Stellar’s Jay, and I’m pretty happy with how this little guy turned out. I considered filling up the space with swear words, which is what I assume they yell, but decided against it.
  • Rebecca S prompted “Magic,” and I decided to do some tea serving itself. You know, magically.
  • Kelly asked for some wildflowers, and got this assortment of random purple blooms. And a bee butt, just because.
  • It’s SaraBeth’s birthday this month, and she asked for something fun! And, uh, well. I had fun. The cat, not so much. (sold)
  • Jo suggested camping in the rain, and I decided I wanted the dreary storm outside and a warm glow coming from inside the tent.

For the record, if you were to follow my Patreon (there’s a free option!), you’d also get a cat pic with this post.

100 Cats no.1-10

Tuesday, February 11th, 2025

A long, long time ago – okay, in the first quarter of 2023 – I did a big art project where I painted or drew 1 cat (almost) every day, until I had 100 cat paintings. It took me a long time to properly scan, process, and ready all those images for you, but believe it or not, they’re only just now ready to share here.

I shared the whole thing on Patreon as it was happening, but they’re used to my badly edited phone photos by now! I wanted these nicer for posterity, which ended up making them so, so late.

At some point I’d like to revisit this project with 100 birds, but for now, enjoy your first 10 cats!

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)
