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!

We’re getting toward the present! Only a few more months to go — requests made in one month are then fulfilled by the end of the next, so these were done well after Drawtober was over, lol.
October 2022 ACEO sketches by Amy Crook
- Jefferson prompted “kobold turkey chef” so we get this elaborate but ill-advised attempt at deep fried turkey. I’m really not sure if this dungeon’s boiling oil vats are food-safe, guys. (sold)
- Eric prompted “witchcraft” so I drew a tarot card, then drew a tarot card, as it were. And I remembered how to draw hands! Woo! (sold)
- Andria asked for a wizard raven, and has received her wish.
- Amy B prompted “spooky monkey” and idk, man, this is what came out of my brain. Trick or Banana, I guess? (sold)

Concentric 11
Saturday, April 2nd, 2022
Concentric 11, 5″x5″ watercolor on black paper by Amy Crook
The soft black Arches paper, originally created for printmaking, makes a gorgeous charcoal surface to use with metallic watercolor.
Blue and gold spirals made a soft layer on which to build the concentric shapes, which stick to the palette and come in many shades of blue, gold, and silver. There’s even a few that mix the blue and gold to make soft greens, and one that fades into warm coppery golds from a nearly-silver center.
This shining painting is just the right size to bring some beauty to a little corner of of your desk, a tiny hidden bit of wall, or to nestle among some books on a shelf.
Concentric 11, detail, by Amy Crook
Above, you can really see the colors of the dot pattern as they flow one into another, and the hints of spirals hiding beneath the bursts of metallic shine. Below, this small painting is in a temporary frame, just waiting to come live on your desk and give you some good good dopamine throughout the day.
