October 2023 Patreon Sketches

Thursday, March 14th, 2024

A bunch of goodies this time! Patron stuff, non-patron stuff, and spaaaaaaace!

I got in a weird mood and did a whole bunch of things that were not for patrons before getting to those, so bear with me. From the top left:

  • Jefferson asked for “patience, dammit” and gets this grumpy yet patient crow (sold)
  • This is a bird no one asked for
  • Amy B asked for “hibernate” and gets a random dark fluffball hiding in a blanket burrito, with blep (sold)
  • Skulls 1, 2, and 3 are vaguely portraits of my holiday centerpiece, which consisted of Edgar, Ezra Bean, and Dalton, respectively. Yes, I do name my skulls. Don’t you?
  • This blue galaxy is by special request (sold)
  • Eric asked for the Great Pumpkin and I went horror with it sorry (sold)
  • Rey & Amber requested “seasons change” and get some word art (sold)
  • The lunar eclipse is for SaraBeth (sold)
  • Nick wanted Pumpkin SPICY and gets a pumpkin chili pepper jack-o-lantern pun (sold)
  • Kelly asked for dragons and gets these two little dudes (sold)
  • In the second image we have a whole rainbow of galaxies! (all sold)

Thanks again for being awesome!

August 2023 Patreon Sketches

Thursday, March 7th, 2024

Lots this month! Patreon supporters were engaged or something.

y’all asked for a LOT of cards the month before I went and got covid, dang! I’m late but not outside of September, so I’m going to consider it a win. There’s quite a range of styles this time, because I tended to get 2 done and then have to fuck off and do something else, lol. Enjoy!

  • Corinne wrote a fic where super soldiers in the MCU were also werewolves, and I had to draw chibi werewolf Red skull
  • Amy B asked for petrichor
  • Eric wanted cookies & cream and got ghost Oreos (sold)
  • Amber asked for the 1st day of school (sold)
  • SaraBeth asked for autumn vibes
  • JoVE asked for “ready for summer but it’s raining” (sold)
  • Jefferson asked for “hotberg icetub” because he loves to torment me (sold)
  • Andria wanted dragon(fruit) shaved ice
  • Nick asked for a Princely Bottom a la Red White & Royal Blue
  • Kelly wanted space! I love painting space cards, ngl. (sold)

And that’s all of them! So many!

July 2023 Patreon Sketches

Monday, March 4th, 2024

More sketches, more Pokemon. My patrons know what they like, I guess?

Sketch card time! Y’all gave me ALL the prompts for next month, but this time there were only 5. SaraBeth, I haven’t forgotten you, keep your eyes out for a whole set of ghosts in cute costumes next week!

I also went and made wee travel palettes of basically all my watercolors, and then had fun using them for this.

  • Amy B asked for “melt” and gets word art entirely from the warm colors palette (sold)
  • Eric asked for a Pokemon and got the first thing that I saw when I opened GO, so blame them, but also enjoy this in its 3 shades of blue (sold)
  • Jefferson asked for “iceberg hot tub” so here’s a polar bear enjoying a bath, also all in blue (sold)
  • Nick asked for some good luck and also 🧡 so here’s an only slightly menacing bit of word art from the greens palette, with bonus hearts from the warms when I pulled it out for Amy’s melty card

June 2023 Patreon Sketches

Thursday, February 29th, 2024

More sketches, complete with vintage text from the original Patreon post, lol.

I have triumphed over my dysfunctional executives and done this month’s sketch cards, huzzah!

  • Jefferson asked for “Shoggoth Pocky” and watch out, it bites back. (sold)
  • Nick asked for “mlm (but also wlw)” and I punned at him, a Wooloo sporting mlm colors, because we pronounce these acronyms “mlem” and “wooloo” in our household.
  • Andria asked for dark purple ranunculus and I experimented with some fun texture stuff that you totally can’t see here! But it looks great lol. (sold)
  • Amy B wanted an axolotl, and despite my inability to spell it on the first try, I did a chibi version for her. (sold)

May 2023 Patreon Sketches

Monday, February 26th, 2024

Another small batch of monthly sketches, for those Patreon supporters who dropped me a prompt!

Got ’em done under the wire! As you can see, the requests were full of kitties, which seems predictable given everything. XD

  • Amy B asked for a kitty monkey-climbing, and got this orange sketchy boy going up a shelf like it’s his job. (sold)
  • SaraBeth Ray asked for kitty heaven, and so we have this little abstract kitty-soul surrounded by many favorite things! (sold)
  • Eric wanted mermay but cats, and gets this mermeow in soothing green and blue. (sold)
  • Jefferson quoted a favorite in-joke, “Where’s my melon scoop!” which is a line from Tony Shalhoub in Stark Raving Mad. I had to do some googling to recreate that terrible 90s facial hair. (sold)

April 2023 Patreon Sketches

Friday, February 23rd, 2024

It’s about time I started using this website again, don’t you think? Please enjoy the next, like, month’s worth of posts, which are all Patreon sketch cards from the past year.

We have 5 cards for 4 requests, because I wasn’t sure the abstract peony was working out, so I did the other one just in case, and then they both worked out so, extra flowers!

  • Eric asked for bunnies and gets a bonus Buffy quote (sold)
  • Nick asked for a peony and got two (both sold)
  • Rey asked for patience, and gets this dramatic bit of word art (sold)
  • Amy B wanted a kinkajou (sold)

March 2023 Patreon sketches

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2023

It’s spring here, and mostly that means sinus headaches, whee. I had fun with these Patreon supporter sketches, though, especially the addition to my 100 Cats series. Which is almost done! I hope you’re having a lovely May, and aren’t actually a cylon.

4 sketch cards by Amy Crook

March 2023 ACEO sketches by Amy Crook

  • Amy B asked for a monkey, and gets this napping weirdo. (sold)
  • Jefferson asked for a cylon, and gets the true leader of them. Cats, after all, do things by no one’s command. (sold)
  • Rey prompted “frak you, pay me!” and got a slightly abstract being of pure fiery righteousness, shaking their fist at the powers above, finished work at their back. (sold)
  • Eric asked for Willow, and I couldn’t resist drawing Jade, because her hair is amazing, her freckles are amazing, and her grumpiness is amazing. I don’t know what happened here but I’d be grumpy, too, tbh. (sold)

And with this, we are caught up entirely! But don’t worry, there’s 100 Cats to start posting soon…
