September 2025 Sketch Cards

Monday, November 3rd, 2025

We remembered September! Not the 21st, but close enough. It was a good range of sketches this month, with lots of cats and dragons as is the best possible way.

10 sketch cards by Amy Crook

  • Rebecca S asked for a ladybug using a typewriter and I made choices about it
  • Amy B asked for an opossum and gets the “he scream at own ass” meme (if you look this up use knowyourmeme.com not google, trust me on this) (sold)
  • SaraBeth wanted Mal in a Statue of Liberty costume. Mal did not want this. (sold)
  • Jeff prompted “spinal tap” since the new movie’s coming out, and got a spine being tapped (sold)
  • Jo asked for Nightshade chasing a flower fairy
  • Kelly requested a cat in a hat, and, well. That’s what she got! (sold)
  • Andria wanted a hot apple cider dragon, and the dragon got a little excited
  • Karla asked for a tea dragon with milk or lemon, and I went with lemon (sold)
  • Nick asked for Nanamo Ul Namo, which is apparently from Final Fantasy, and gets emoji style
  • JoVE asked for “plums! so many plums!” and I took her a bit literally but I had fun

May 2025 Sketch Cards

Tuesday, July 29th, 2025

After doing June in June, we finally have May in July! If that’s confusing, think how I feel trying to keep track.

9 sketch cards by Amy Crook

  • SaraBeth asked for a cherry custard tart from Diffidence and the Rift, and gets a bonus leaf-plate with it. (sold)
  • Jefferson prompted “bird talk!” and gets, well, this joke. (sold)
  • Eric prompted “olo” which is a new color made by lasers, and I went kinda abstract with it since I had a watercolor bookmark laying around for reasons. (sold)
  • Amy B asked for a skrungle and she has received. (sold)
  • JoVE asked for “dawn chorus” and gets some little brown birds at dawn in rather abstracted trees.
  • Rhonda wanted some spring flowers, so have a little breath of the cooler, better previous season.
  • Kelly gets not only purple but also an experiment gone wrong, done experimentally on both sides of this translucent yupo. (sold)
  • Lila asked for something with hockey and trees, so here’s the after-practice pond waiting for someone to come back and play. (sold)
  • Rebecca S asked for Space Whales and so here are the purrgil from Star Wars.

June 2025 Patreon Sketches

Sunday, June 29th, 2025

You may have noticed that May is conspicuously absent, and that’s because I did the wrong month’s prompts, whoops. May’s will be next month, promise!

8 sketch cards by Amy Crook

  • Eric asked for Han, Lando, and/or Hondo, and Hondo Ohnaka won the impromptu housemate poll so here he is. (sold)
  • Jeff prompted “purple prank” and got a purple-ized version of my favorite internet joke. He’s no stranger to love, you guys. (sold)
  • Amy B asked for some kind of critter and fortunately or unfortunately, this little cookie thief is what happened.
  • Shannon asked for a yelling Stellar’s Jay, and I’m pretty happy with how this little guy turned out. I considered filling up the space with swear words, which is what I assume they yell, but decided against it.
  • Rebecca S prompted “Magic,” and I decided to do some tea serving itself. You know, magically.
  • Kelly asked for some wildflowers, and got this assortment of random purple blooms. And a bee butt, just because.
  • It’s SaraBeth’s birthday this month, and she asked for something fun! And, uh, well. I had fun. The cat, not so much. (sold)
  • Jo suggested camping in the rain, and I decided I wanted the dreary storm outside and a warm glow coming from inside the tent.

For the record, if you were to follow my Patreon (there’s a free option!), you’d also get a cat pic with this post.
