Inktober 2018: Week 1
Tuesday, October 16th, 2018
Autumn winds are blowing and fire season is almost over, which means not only October, Halloween, and Pumpkin Spice, but Inktober! I’m doing one ink drawing per day all month, pulling from a number of prompt lists. This year I’m doing everything in the Artist’s Trading Card size of 3.5″x2.5″ and sticking to black and white with the occasional cheat of grey.
Inktober 1: Poisonous
Inktober 2: Too Early for Jeff
Inktober 3: Crows
Inktober 4: Spite for Corinne
Inktober 5: Death
Inktober 6: Sepioid for Blaine
yes, we know it’s spelled wrong
Inktober 7: Exhausted

Sketches for Patreon supporters by Amy Crook, June 2018
My patient Patreon supporters have sketches! They’re all pretty bad about asking for them, lol, but I love every person anyway since that makes it easier for me to go above and beyond when the mood strikes.
From left to right, we have:
- “storage units DOOM” for Jeff
- Bitty from OMGCP for Grace
- Matt from Swan Song for Corinne
- and on the bottom, dark and gloomy and fiery for Springbok

Playboy Genius

Playboy Genius by Amy Crook, 4.25″x5.5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
I doodled this in my sketchbook the other day and liked it so much I finished it up and scanned it. Tony Stark is, in his own words, a billionaire genius playboy philanthropist, not to mention Iron man. This little chibi reflects at least two of those qualities!

Beneath
Sunday, June 3rd, 2018
Beneath, 4″x8″ pencil and watercolor on Fluid watercolor paper
Humanity has explored such a small percentage of the oceans, and we can comfortably swim or surf or sail on just the thinnest sliver of surface. We never know what lies just beneath those waves, waiting patiently for their time to come.
This monster with its blank, shining eye and teeth taller than a mast is there below the waves that propel this surfer just over its head.
But not necessarily out of its reach.
Beneath, detail, by Amy Crook
Above, you can see the sharp teeth and dead, pearlescent eye of the creature up close. Below, the monster is hiding in its frame, lying in wait for some unfathomable cue to act.

Oh, Brilliant!

Oh, Brilliant! 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
The 13th Doctor has been revealed and I agree with her assessment – Brilliant! She’s got a quirky aesthetic that calls back to previous Doctors while being thoroughly modern, a great smile, and of course her very own TARDIS. I can’t wait to see what becomes of her!
Etsy is having a big sale through March 29, and I’m in on it! Get 15% off the whole shop, no code needed — including this image, which would make a brilliant birthday card if I do say so myself!

Chinhands and Spittake

Chinhands & Spittake, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
More commissions! More Inception! More chibis!
This wonderful person was happy to be led to my list of needed emojis for our Slack, and we chose the chinhands and spit take as ones for her commission. Especially of note are Eames’ purple trackies, and Arthur’s beautiful blush.
Want a commission of your own? Email me and I’ll get you in the queue!

Cheerful Helena
Tuesday, March 13th, 2018
Cheerful Helena, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
The second of my Orphan Black commissions, Helena here is for a birthday card! She’s looking very cheerful and only a little like she might bite, really. Lots of tiny pattern on this one, the plaid on her outfit plus the tiny paisleys on her shirt were a challenge.
My commissions queue is opening up soon, so email me if you want to get on the wait list!
