Sunday Round-Up & Sitting Guy Sketch
Sunday, March 10th, 2013
this past week’s art
It’s Sunday once again! If you missed some of this week’s posts, on Monday I had a ghostly swirly moon, on Tuesday our tentacles were very sad and apologetic, and on Wednesday we looked at the whole alphabet all together. Thursday revisited the idea of heraldry, Friday revisited Instagram, and on Saturday the Ninth Doctor visited us. It was a week chock-full of new cards for my Etsy shop, and new art for you to enjoy, whee.
And, of course, there’s a little sketch for you today. I was playing with shading with my new Neutral Grey Copic markers, which give me another choice from the warm and cool greys I’ve been using.

Fantastic, Doctor Who art by Amy Crook
After drawing Ten and Eleven, I couldn’t resist adding the short-lived Ninth Doctor to the mix. Although I’ve hardly seen any of the classic Doctor Who, I’ve really enjoyed the new series, though I always seem to prefer whichever doctor was last for about a series and a half before I become really fond of the current doctor.
Of course, I also made a greeting card of the Ninth Doctor, with your choice of messages inside.

Above, you can see the Doctor’s wry grin and slouching posture. Below, he’s in a frame, hanging out with my iPhone for scale.

Baker Street Crest

Baker Street Crest by Amy Crook
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the alphabet, I’ve done another B! I took the design for H is for Heraldry, with all its Sherlock-centric themes, and turned it into a B for 221B Baker Street. There’s actually a lot of John Watson in this crest, almost more so than Sherlock Holmes, with the generosity, loyalty, and martial readiness. Sherlock is in there, too, though, both of them rampant and ready to defend their little kingdom.
I decided not to bling up the gold in this one, sticking to a nice bright, warm yellow to represent the Or field on the shield. This also makes them easier to reproduce, so I’ve got note cards for sale on Etsy with the crest, so you can send your next piece of snail mail in style.

Above, you can see the detail on the cheerful hedgehog and rather snooty otter. Below, I’ve put it in a frame and you can see how the original stacks up next to my iPhone.

Sad and Sorry Squid

Sad and Sorry Squid cartoon by Amy Crook
This little blue fellow is very, very sorry for whatever you did to make him angry. Won’t you forgive him? He’s just blue all over from regretting what he said.
I designed him to go with my other squid cards at Etsy, and I think he’d make a very effective apology.

Down With Pollen, self portrait with kitty by Amy Crook
This pretty much sums up my week, as inspired by one of the wonderful ladies in my Type B Mastermind Group. Perhaps next week the trees will give me a bit of a break to get better caught up with… everything. So much everything.

Dresden Bookmark 2

Harry Dresden bookmark
by Amy Crook
After I posted the other Dresden bookmark I’d done as a gift for a friend, one of my regular patrons gave me puppy eyes asking to do one for her, too. I’m working my way up to another Bookmark Week, so I drew this up for her the other day. It’s already sold, but the ones I post in a few weeks will be available to those without puppy-eye privileges.
If you want to be first on the list to see which ones are coming out, you can join my mailing list here.

Above, you can see a close-up of Dresden’s sheepish little face, like, “Oh hey didn’t see you there.” Below, you can see him hanging out with my copy of Cold Days.

Hedgehog & Otter Adventures

Floating Along, dorky fan art by Amy Crook
If you’re on Tumblr or in my brain you’ll understand completely when I say this is actually Harry Potter/Sherlock crossover fan art with Animagus forms.
If you’re not, then look at the adorable otter and hedgehog. They’re floating! They’re friends!
There is, of course, the nap after to be considered as well. Those involved in the aforementioned fannish telepathy will know exactly which scarf is whose and why.
