The Death of Me, Too, 4 of 6, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

The Death of Me, Too, 4 of 6, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook

And of course, it being Sherlock, he might be taking this caring thing a little too far. He’s brought oranges, biscuits, more tissues, another blanket, another pillow, a sandwich, and of course some chicken soup. He’s sure he read somewhere that it’s better to feed sick boys their soup so they eat it all, but John’s just not cooperating.

Smug Sherlock is smug. John’s got everything an invalid could want, from toast to his otter plushie. He’s sure to be well in no time!

John might be sick, but he’s clever enough to know what will get Sherlock to reciprocate at least a little care, even if it’s just a cup of tea. If there’s one thing Sherlock can’t stand, after all, it’s being told he can’t figure something out.

It took me a bit, but I’ve finally finished the sequel to The Death of Me, the 6-panel comic in which Sherlock gets a cold and poor John has to take care of him. The tables are turned, John’s the one that’s ill now, and we get to see how Sherlock fares with his blogger out of commission.

The originals were commissioned by my favorite kiwi, but there will be a print available in my Etsy shop at the end of the week.

Sunday Round-Up & Face Sketch

Sunday, March 31st, 2013

a lot of cartoons and some skulls, like I do

a lot of cartoons and some skulls, like I do

A cheery assortment of smiles and tentacles in this week’s art, starting with Bilbo having tea on Monday. Tuesday brought Doctor Who, and Thursday was a whole wallpaper pattern made of grinning skulls. Friday there was a very cute gift of squid, and on Saturday a pair of adorable squid tied the knot.

And, of course, I have a wee sketch for you! This face came out very narrow indeed, and decidedly skewed to one side, but I rather like him anyway. I really do need to get some new large brush pens, though, mine are both starting to dry up, alas, either that or just work with brush & ink and skip the pen bit entirely.

Eleven’s 1100

Eleven's 1100, Doctor Who fan art by Amy Crook

Eleven’s 1100, Doctor Who fan art by Amy Crook

The Doctor is unimpressed with boring human age-related angst as well, because it’s a good time to be drawing birthday card art. He’s lived over 1100 years! He’s got his trusty TARDIS to keep him company, anyway, and a bowtie. Bowties are cool.

Eleven’s 1100, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper, nfs (sold). He’s still available as a card in my Etsy shop.

Above, you can see the sun washing the Doctor red and blue, but bringing out his cheekbones in sharp relief. Below, he’s hanging out in his frame with his TARDIS and a random cephalopod.

Tea at Bag End

Tea at Bag End, The Hobbit fan art by Amy Crook

Tea at Bag End, The Hobbit fan art by Amy Crook

After I drew Second Breakfast and sold the original, I was very sad for the empty spot on my wheat-yellow wall he had once occupied. So, I drew a Bilbo of my very own! He’s having a lovely tea at home in his dressing gown. Bilbo’s very glad to be back in the Shire where a hobbit can get six proper meals a day and enjoy a proper cuppa in comfort.

I’m considering making prints or blank cards, I haven’t decided yet, but his original art is staying here with me.

Tea at Bag End, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper, nfs (in the collection of the artist).

Above, you can see Reaching Out and Tea at Bag End in their permanent homes, and Skull Paper (which will post later this week) hanging out with them so I can enjoy it while I still have it.
