Alex Benedict by Amy Crook
A few of you might be aware that I’m doing NaNoWriMo this year — it’s my 6th year & 5th win (I passed 50K on the 25th). I haven’t titled this year’s novel yet, but in the inevitability of being an artist writing about the same thing every day, I decided to do a sketch of my main character, Alexander Benedict.
Since I was drawing him as procrastination for actual writing, he’s in the client meeting notebook I use, which is a proper sketchbook that got wet at some point in its life and has warped pages — perfect for taking notes in, not so great for art I want to scan and/or keep later. Oops.

Zombie Koi

Zombie Koi by Amy Crook
This cheerful undead fish is just looking for a few scraps of brains left for him — zombies are notoriously sloppy eaters, after all. He’s on the back cover of my Cthluhu Coloring Book (one of the bonus zombies!), and was one I was most looking forward to coloring myself. His tattered flesh glows an eerie green, but his attractive orange-and-white spots still show through in places.

Weeble Wednesday: Yog-Sothoth

Weeble Yog-Sothoth by Amy Crook
If you’re feeling a bit short of time this holiday week, perhaps Yog-Sothoth could help you out — or make it all so much worse. Yog-Sothoth is an Outer God of the Lovecraft mythos, and yet another of the oddling creatures in my Cthulhu Coloring Book. Yog-Sothoth was named The Lurker at the Threshold by Lovecraft, and is considered to be both at one with all of time and space, and outside of it.
My interpretation of his form as “great globes of light” is a bit whimsical, so I decided to use actual watercolor to experiment with his coloring, and had fun working wet-in-wet to get some rather psychedelic effects.

Zombie Bride

Zombie Bride by Amy Crook
This lovely lady is another one of the bonus zombies from my Cthulhu Coloring Book. I decided to go for a more blue-toned dead (rather than grey or green), sort of an homage to The Corpse Bride. I had fun adding in some extra details with the coloring, like the bloody handprint on her dress.
