September 2024 Patron Sketches
Saturday, November 2nd, 2024
Patron sketches again! I also did Drawtober, but I gave myself a mandate to just do pencil sketches in a notebook, and mostly concentrate on figure drawing, so I won’t be reposting those here. They’re free to view on Patreon, though!
Eight cards for six requests, and on time, too!
- Andria asked for birthday level-ups, and got this absolutely not from Mario 1up shroom
- Kelly prompted “raindrops and rainbows” and I feel like this was a predictable sort of result (sold)
- Jefferson wanted “endless swearing” and that much grawlix is quite the challenge to write! (sold)
- Kitty Nebula just because
- Eric wanted Dragon Fireworks and I had fun with it (sold)
- another just because….falling stars, fireflies in the rain, who knows? (sold)
- Amy B wanted good birthday vibes, so these cuties are for her
- and last but absolutely not least, SaraBeth wanted Pod as Beetlejuice, and while Poddlejuice refused to wake up for his cameo, he did agree to be in the sketch (sold)

Meet Me on Saturn

Meet Me on Saturn, watercolor by Amy Crook
If you don’t know what movie I’m referencing here, get thee to Netflix* and watch Beetlejuice!
I decided I wanted to paint some stripey tentacles, so I got out my watercolors and popped in the DVD for inspiration. I decided on the off-color sky with its almost greenish blues and brighter golds after seeing the ghosts ending up on Saturn, and since that’s where the stripey sandworms come from, it seemed appropriate for a title.
I am especially pleased with the way the two outer tentacles are meeting up over the curl of the third. Are they parents and child, all part of the same creature, or is it just a third wheel?
The ways of tentacles are mysterious.

Above, you can see the curl of tentacle, and the details of the delicate shading on and around it. Below, I’ve got the tentacles in a frame. They’re currently in my living room, where I can see them every day.

*Not that I have any idea if Netflix has it.

Beetlejuice, parody comic by Amy Crook
Say it once, say it twice, third time’s the charm… Iiiiiit’s showtime!
It’s the season for cheerful Halloween movies (okay, every season is the season, but hush), and I decided to render the Ghost with the Most in my signature “fancy stick figure” style.
I haven’t decided yet if he’d be fun on a card, but he’ll be showing up on Tuesday in October’s awesome Halloween Floating Gallery.
Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice! BEETLEJUICE!!!
Dammit, that trick never works.
