Cartoon! Wendy & Me
Monday, June 14th, 2010
Wendy and Me by Amy Crook
Today’s art is another cartoon, this time of me and Wendy Cholbi, tech mermaid. Wendy wanted to expand her WordPress Installation offerings to include a package with some design included, and so I drew up this image to go with our bios on the sales page. It was fun not only to make Wendy into a mermaid, but to give my hair a bit of extra color (in real life that color would be so hard to maintain!) as well as the bunny ears, and a couple of t-shirts from ThinkGeek that neither of us actually owns — yet.
We’re also doing a free Website Color Clinic call on Wednesday to help people pick their own web palettes. Come join us and listen to me babble nervously about color!

Birthday Flower

Birthday Flower by Amy Crook
I was going to a friend’s nice’s 18th birthday party, and in lieu of a gift I decided to hand-draw her birthday card. I picked this bright tropical hibiscus flower. I remember that I Googled something related to a trip she was taking and these flowers came up, and so I broke out my Copic markers and drew this for her. I’m not sure if she still has the original, but I’m pleased that I remembered to scan it before I gave it to her.

Fabeku Fatunmise – Cartoon!
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
Fabeku Fatunmise by Amy Crook
Fabeku Fatunmise is one of my favorite people on Twitter, he’s just full of good cheer and awesomeness. I’ve downloaded his non-sucky free stuff and really enjoyed it, so when he told me he wanted to be a cartoon, I was all over it! I even traded him part of his fee for another of his downloads, which I love as much as the first one.
Fabeku wanted a weeble, and he asked for his prop to be one of his drums, which he sent me a photo of for reference. A link to the Ramones t-shirt and the shoes, and we were in business. I sketched him up, and after a few changes I inked and we talked about colors (for the record, he’s “pinky medium white guy” colored), and then, result!
I have absolutely no idea how the ninja got in there, though.

Commission: Snape & Harry
Saturday, June 5th, 2010
Snape and Harry by Amy Crook
My good friend Delta commissioned this in lieu of a cartoon during my art sale last month. She asked for a quiet moment of reconciliation between her two favorite wizards, a bit of fan art to add to her collection. I had fun with it; though Harry’s coy over-the-shoulder glance came out a bit awkward, I like to think it adds to the overall feel of the piece. After all, nothing ever goes quite smoothly between these two in the books, either.

Loligoth Bride
Sunday, May 30th, 2010
Goth Bride by Amy Crook
The delightful Ang of Lowbrow Events commissioned this girl through my Be a Cartoon service over at Not Dead Yet Studios. She does alternative weddings, so she gave me free reign to doodle up any bride I wanted, as long as she was a little off the rails.
From her stripey stockings to her tiny top hat, this bride has a definite Gothic Lolita theme. I added a few spiders for extra morbidity, and then spun their web in the lining of her layered skirt. I considered doing the roses the same blood red as her hair and heart-shaped lipstick, but I decided to go with an eerie purple to match her pale violet eyes instead.
I’m happy to say Ang was thrilled, and you can find my bride lurking on the contact page of her site.

Meet Carol’s Monster, Bernie
Thursday, April 29th, 2010
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.
