Get Well Squid by Amy Crook
A friend of mine is in the hospital right now, so I drew up this little guy and printed him on a card to help cheer her up while she undergoes treatment. I’m not sure how he’s going to get that bottle of pills open without a helping hand, but he sure looks like he could use them, poor guy.
Get Well Squid, 5″x7″ pen and ink and Copic markers on paper. Get him on a card of your own at my Etsy shop.

Cthulhu Dreams of Love

Cthulhu Dreams of Love by Amy Crook
Cthulhu gets a Valentine! Of course his love-dreams could be for a birthday, anniversary or just because, but it’s that season and I drew him with that in mind.
That said, my favorite part is the button-eyed Hound of Tindalos plush toy. He’s holding its paw! Aww, Cthulhu, we never knew you were such a softie.

Tentacle Spiral 1

Tentacle Spiral 1 by Amy Crook
I was mucking about with washes, and I thought I’d do something a little different with this pale, almost flesh-toned wash I did on one of my last blank handmade postcards from India. The lunar black paint made exquisite textures as it granulated and pooled in the surface of the card, giving the tentacles a half-real feeling.
I like this effect with the tentacles spiralling in from all sides, so I’ve optimistically called this #1 in the hopes that I manage a series out of it.

I took a close-up of one of the spirals so you can really see the texture.

Cthulhu with a Kitten doodle

Cthulhu with a Kitten sketch by Amy Crook
Another little Coloring Book doodle! Cthulhu is quite dubious that he’s not supposed to eat the kitten, but I’m sure he’ll come around.
Happy New Year!

Tentacle Deeps 23

Tentacle Deeps 23 by Amy Crook
It’s the ghost of tentacles past! Or possibly tentacles future. Who can tell.
There’s a subtle blue-violet tint to the background on this piece that comes through where the white paint picked up the background color.

Old-Fashioned Ornaments, set 2

Old-Fashioned Ornaments, set 2, by Amy Crook
Pardon the terrible photography, I’ll try to take a better one when the sun’s back up. I finally managed to assemble my second set of old-fashioned paper ornaments, this one with slightly different art. I kept the star but hung it at a different angle, and then made Cthulhu himself and an Elder Sign (Lovecraft style) to go with it.
These ornaments are a huge pain to make, but it’s almost fun in that way where it appeals to my meticulous nature, so I might make a few extra sets next year. We’ll see!
