Carol's Monster Bernie by Amy Crook

Carol’s Monster Bernie by Amy Crook

I’d like you all to meet Bernie. He’s a little shy about his name, but we all know that even a Bernie can have a brave heart. He’s Carol’s bodyguard, and he helps keep things from hurting her. His helmet’s a little crooked, and his axe needs a bit of a sharpening, but he’s got a heart of gold — you can see it right there on his armor!

Bernie is Carol’s Monster, the first completed one from my Draw Your Monster sale a few weeks ago. As part of my Big Art Sale (to help me get to my 72-year-old Mom’s suddenly-moved-up wedding in 3 weeks), I’m offering them again, so if you missed out and wanted one, now’s the time.

As a note, since Bernie’s a commission, he’s not actually available for redistribution under the CC license mentioned below — all his rights and permissions belong to Carol now.

Consolation Squid

Consolation Squid

Consolation Squid

During the long process of getting Nugget painted, Gretchen managed to break her arm  riding her bike. I actually got to see her at a convention that summer while she was still en-casted, and since the kind concom provided a table of markers for its attendees to decorate Ducks (the con mascot), I decided to give Gretchen a consolation Squid.

We almost colored the whole thing in the pink glitter pen, but it really didn’t want to stick to the cast material, so he ended up with glitter highlights instead. The eyes were gold glitter pen (of course), and the rest is good old Sharpie marker.

Like all cast art, the Consolation Squid was ephemeral, but I thought I’d take a break from the for-sale pile and share him with you today.
