February 2025 Patron Sketches

Thursday, April 3rd, 2025

Poddleston at came out and helped awhile with this giant set of 10.

10 sketch cards by Amy Crook

 

  • Amy B asked for something joyful and gets a grey kitty in a Tater Tot sort of pose, which is something that sure brings me joy, anyway
  • Eric prompted “wonder” and I thought this kind of tarot-Fool wanderer wondering about life was a neat response to it (sold)
  • Molly wanted a praying animal and gets a polar bear
  • Jefferson prompted “R is for R’lyeh” and gets a weird, mossy underwater city with a hidden R in it (sold)
  • SaraBeth wanted Love Wins ft. Gritty, and while I didn’t rainbow it up, the sentiment is there (sold)
  • Kelly wanted, and got, a swan, easy peasy lemon squeezy (sold)
  • Rey prompted “napping dad” and got, well, this poor Dad (sold)
  • Andria wanted something cheering for grad school, and I have been informed that surprise food is always cheering when you’re a grad student, especially with bonus alcohol
  • Rebecca S wanted something cosy and gets a little red dragon today, along with a cup of tea to warm him (sold)
  • Amber wanted coffee, and this is as close as I can get to making her a cup (sold)

December 2024 Sketch Cards

Tuesday, January 28th, 2025

How is January almost over? The passage of time is a continued problem. I have two! Two sets of sketch cards for you! Ah-ah-ah-aah! [insert Count von Count here]

6 moon phase sketch cards by Amy Crook

Above, I did a set of six moon phases because I always need extras for my patreon goodie packets. These were fun to experiment with the clouds on each, so they feel connected but not too samey.

6 sketch cards by Amy Crook

Here are everyone’s actual sketch requests from last month! And that wraps up the whole year, which is wild.

  • Jefferson asked for ninja espresso and got an espresso ninja (sold)
  • Rebecca S wanted a hockey boy and I paid homage to her team, the Krakens (sold)
  • Amy B asked for a skunk
  • SaraBeth wanted flight or freedom, and apparently my brain went the easy route with this bird escaping its cage (sold)
  • Eric asked for “Captain Negasonic Human Torch” because he’s a troll, but I had fun with it
  • Kelly wanted a goth to interpret “red” so of course it’s bloody bones (sold)

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)

August 2024 Patreon Sketches

Wednesday, October 9th, 2024

As usual, these were requested in August, sketched in September, and are being shared here a little after that! I still have my 100 Cats project to share with y’all, but I haven’t yet figured out what format I want to use for the posts (and how much Photoshopping it will require, sigh).

8 sketch cards by Amy Crook

  • Nick and Andria both wanted coziness, so the napping purrito and autumn opossum are for them.
  • SaraBeth asked for two of my OCs, Andy and Horace. Andy is a weird shadow monster who is in full muppet mode here, lol. (sold)
  • Jefferson wanted a Galaxy Cake, ironically not the cake I had for my birthday this year. (sold)
  • Eric asked for egrets. No regrets, only egrets. (sold)
  • Kelly asked for a phoenix and got this sparkly boyo. (sold)
  • Amber wanted Calvin & Hobbes, which I am always happy to deliver. (sold)
  • I got another new pack of cool pencils and experimented with them to draw weird fire.
  • Amy B wanted a batcat for the season! (sold)

June 2024 Patron Sketches

Tuesday, July 30th, 2024

There was a bat in our basement! It appears to have left on its own, but man, what a random ending to the week. Before all that, I spent the day on sketch cards! Everything is watercolor this time around because reasons.

9 sketch cards by Amy Crook

From the top left:

  • Kelly asked for a rainbow kitty
  • Amy B prompted “our big, loud pride in [their] shameful times”
  • SaraBeth prompted “quiet pride”
  • Eric asked for Gonzo
  • Jeff asked for Fozzie Ramone
  • Amber prompted “sidekick wanted!”
  • Andria wanted a subtle bi owl
  • Corinne referred to Goomy day by asking for “slime and rainbows”
  • and Nick asked for a Mandragora from Final Fantasy

There’s actually a 10th card, but it’s a spoiler for the cover of A Flutter of Fae, which is now with my beta readers, with its plot all fixed and some fresh typos for their pleasure of discovery.
