Alternate Universes: Soulmates
parody Sherlock comic by Amy Crook
For Friday we have purples, and one of the sweetest AUs in fandom: Soulmates. This is a magical realism AU where there’s some sort of mystical way that people are matched up at birth, and they have to search to find their perfect match. It takes the myth of the divided soul and puts names on people’s arms, or clocks counting down, or bits of poetry or some other plot device to show that the characters are literally made for each other.
In this case, I went for the name on the arm trope, and you can see John’s got his own wrist covered in a cuff, politely shielding his soulmate’s name from prying eyes, while Sherlock just used nicotene patches for dual-purpose covering up.

Alternate Universes: Alpha/Omega
parody Sherlock comic by Amy Crook
It’s Thursday, so let me give you something very weird indeed — a pregnant Sherlock Holmes! I’m not sure how to explain Alpha/Omega fic if you don’t already know what it is, but it’s probably one of the most alternate of universes. You can blame Supernatural fandom for this one, really.

Alternate Universes: Dominant/submissive (NSFW)

Alternate Universes: Dominant/submissive 2
parody Sherlock comic by Amy Crook
This one’s a bit naughty! The alternate universe posits that everyone has a “dynamic” and is a dominant or submissive, and then goes around assigning those roles to the characters and seeing what happens.
In this case, what happened was that Sherlock is a rather pushy submissive and earned himself a spanking. This is the “after” cuddle he gets once he’s been sufficiently scolded; there’s a second version of this panel that’s more R-rated below. I did that one first, and then decided that for the Etsy print perhaps a PG version was necessary.

Alternate Universes: Wingfic

Alternate Universes: Wingfic
parody Sherlock comic by Amy Crook
Another day, another universe! I chose to do the golden sunset behind their warm brown wings for this one, covering both orange and yellow in one panel for my rainbow of AUs.
Wingfic is also pretty self-explanatory, though there’s as many variations on it as there are authors. Sometimes they can fly and sometimes the wings aren’t usable, sometimes they’re angels or demons or just freaks of nature. Sometimes it’s just one or the other of them that has wings, and sometimes it’s a whole world full of flying humans.

Alternate Universes: Vampire/Werewolf

Alternate Universes: Vampire/Werewolf
parody Sherlock comic by Amy Crook
Halloween is the season for dressing up as things you aren’t, and I have a 6-panel Sherlock comic to celebrate. One of my favorite patrons commissioned these comics to celebrate some of the alternate universes that the Sherlock characters get thrust into in fic and art.
This first one is fairly self-explanatory, a supernatural AU where Sherlock Holmes, pale and skinny as he is, is a fashionable vampire, and the more earthy John Watson is a werewolf. Of course, there’s every variation to be found out there, with John as the vampire or both of them werewolves or one of them really a banshee or a ghost, but this configuration is the stereotypical arrangement of species.

Each panel is colored with its own scheme, and this one (as you can see) is red. You can get a preview of the whole thing below.

Deck the Smaug

Deck the Smaug, holiday fan art by Amy Crook
I’m pretty sure this is the silliest holiday card I’ve ever designed, but I’m such a fan of the silly Smaug/Bilbo art out there on the internet, I had to toss in one of my own. Bilbo raided Smaug’s hoard for bells and gold chains, but I have no idea where he got the giant ribbons or pine boughs for the rest of his cheerful holiday decorating.
At least Smaug will smell delicious while he’s eating you!
Deck the Smaug, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper. He is, of course, available as a card in my Etsy shop.

Custom Sherlock Bookmarks

5 Sherlock bookmarks, commission art by Amy Crook
Yay, more Sherlock bookmarks! I did these as tests for the elaborately colored 6-panel comic (and print!) I’m posting next week, as part of a commission for one of my darling patrons. Some of them reflect the comics and some not so much, but they were all a test for our rainbow color scheme.
What, you say, you didn’t know I did commission bookmarks? Well, I do now! You might be asking yourself how these are different than regular fan art commissions, and so I’ll tell you, because I’m nice that way.
- They’re $15 each, flat, no matter what’s on them.
- You tell me what you want, I draw and send. No sketches, no previews.
- Color vs black and white is up to my discretion.
- It’ll be on whatever bookmark-like scrap of paper I have to hand.
- This applies to fan art comics only, no portraits or watercolors or any of that fancy jazz.
- They tend to be a lot faster than a regular commission.
- Email me if you want one! (Okay, that’s the same.)
The ones above are all on drawing paper scraps rather than thicker watercolor paper or cardstock, but I know the recipient (hi!) won’t be using them to mark books. If you’re a framer vs a book marker, that’s something to let me know during the email.
