Nefarious Parent

Nefarious Parent by Amy Crook
When my friend Bkwyrm approached me to ask about doing a logo for her new forum for parents with an occult bent, Parentes Nefarii, we tossed back and forth a couple of ideas. In the end, we decided that her budget and needs were best suited to a cartoon — but not of her. This weeble cultist (yep, Weeble Wednesday is back!) is carrying a rather dubious-looking baby, from tentacles to horns.
The innocent baby-blonde curl of hair really makes it for me, especially contrasted with the bald cultist and his bluer-than-blue eyes.

Thanks for the Sketches!

My little sketch sale was a success – I had a lot of fun doing a bunch of quickie art pieces, and I still have two left to go. I even sold most of the sample pieces I did, so I’m quite pleased overall. If you missed it, there’ll likely be a repeat again around the holidays. I’ve been told they make lovely gifts.

Sketch Sale Revisited

Sale done! Thank you to everyone who participated and made it a success.
After a week, I’ve sold a few sketches and, as is the way of things when there’s pens and paper out ready to be used, made a few more. The sale will go on for one more week, until the end of May. If you’d like to get your very own wee little sketch from me in the mail, there’s still a bit of time.
Here’s what I’ve been up to this week. Somehow, they all turned into cute fan art, go figure.
Two little $10 sketches:
Snape and Harry sketch by Amy Crook (sold)
Harry and Draco sketch by Amy Crook
Two little $20 sketches:
Bertie and Lionel, the King’s Speech, sketch by Amy Crook (sold)

Weeble Wednesday: Maribeth Doerr
Wednesday, May 11th, 2011
Maribeth Doerr cartoon by Amy Crook
I actually finished Maribeth’s cartoon months ago, and just haven’t gotten around to posting it, oops.
She got her cartoon as part of with her WordPress Bonanza Package with me & Wendy Cholbi — I’ll be posting her header art next week. I had a lot of fun drawing her weeble self, the warm grin and giant pink bag, along with her very appropriate “Delightfully Silly” t-shirt. I always enjoy drawing ponytails, too, I think it’s the same urge that makes me draw dozens of spirally swishy tentacles.

Son of Weeble

Son of Weeble by Amy Crook
I admit it, I ran out of finished weeble cartoons for my Wednesdays and had to just doodle something up. I started out just drawing up a “blank” weeble – shape of the head and body, arms and hands and feet. The idea of doing a blank-faced one then made me think of Magritte’s Son of Man, and thus I give you Son of Weeble to weird up your Wednesday.
I gave myself the rule of only using pens within reach to shade him, which is why his clothes are a light grey and his skin left paper white. Maybe next time I’ll bring out the Really Useful Box o’ Sharpies before I get started, I’m pretty sure I have a better range of pinks and browns there.

The 11th Doctor

The 11th Doctor by Amy Crook
After all the time I’ve spent drawing cartoon Sherlock and Watson, I decided to go ahead and do Moffat’s other cheekbone-powered character, Doctor Who. The 11th Doctor was similar enough to Sherlock in features to give me a good starting point, but different enough to make it fun.
