July Patreon Sketches

Avada Kedavra, word art bookmark by Amy Crook
I didn’t have a ton of patrons who were around this month, they’re all out in the summer getting sunshine and other things I’m allergic to!
They did have these two requests, though, first for Avada Kedavra, the Slytherin’s favorite spell. It’s got a shiny green paint and some contrasting green glitter gel pen to give it a lovely magical feel on this black bookmark.
The second, below, was for Lestrade from Sherlock in glasses. He ended up being caught unexpectedly on a sleepy morning, wearing his glasses and reading the paper in his pjs.
Support me on Patreon to want to get sketches or word art of your own!

Panurgic
Tuesday, July 26th, 2016
Panurgic: able or ready to do anything,
7″x5″ pen & ink, brush pen, and Copic marker on paper
When I saw this word, I immediately thought of James Bond — always ready to for a lovely lady, a martini, a fight, or all three at once. He’s sticking to the drink here, but I’m sure at least one of the others will show up later to keep life interesting.

Engouement

Engouement: unreasoning fondness, 7″x5″ pen and ink on paper
The 6th anniversary of Inception was this past weekend, and so here’s one last adorable Arthur and Eames to celebrate.
“Unreasoning fondness” describes a lot of what it’s like to be in fandom, loving something to a ridiculous degree despite its flaws. See also: cats.
What do you have engouement for?

Arthur and Eames sticker designs

Arthur & Eames stickers by Amy Crook
Tumblr is celebrating the 6th anniversary of Inception, and they held an all-day chat dedicated to getting people to finish their works in progress. The lovely person running it asked me to design some stickers for those who participated, so I made Arthur for anyone who came to write at all, and Eames for those who finished & posted something.
I didn’t have a ton of time, and these stickers are actually only 1.5″ high, so I went for a quick, colorful chibi design to give us the essence of these two lovely characters without getting all fussy about the details.
Happy Inceptiversary!

Goldilocks
Thursday, June 23rd, 2016
Goldilocks, 8″x10″ watercolor on watercolor paper
The collector that bought Mercy House thought it had a Three Bears feel to it, and asked for a Goldilocks commission to go with it. It has the same feeling of abstract greenery, but shot through this time with light instead of darkness, the gold of the girl’s hair bouncing around her in sunlight among the leaves as she strolls through the forest. Everything has a soft, surreal feeling to it, suitable to this classic fairy tale.

Ambivalence

Ambivalence: mixed feelings,
7″x5″ brush pen, pen & ink, and Copic marker on paper
Another Patreon sketch, today we have some mixed feelings about bow ties. Are they really cool? Eleven isn’t so certain, but his confidence will perk up again soon, I have no doubt. Perhaps the TARDIS will reassure him once it arrives on the scene.
