The Death of Me, Too, 1 of 6, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook
It took me a bit, but I’ve finally finished the sequel to The Death of Me, the 6-panel comic in which Sherlock gets a cold and poor John has to take care of him. The tables are turned, John’s the one that’s ill now, and we get to see how Sherlock fares with his blogger out of commission.
The originals were commissioned by my favorite kiwi, but there will be a print available in my Etsy shop at the end of the week.

Sherlock Bookmarks, set of 4

4 Sherlock bookmarks by Amy Crook
The lovely person that bought this John Watson bookmark wanted a whole set of the four lads from the show, and here’s the results! I fortunately have a bunch of these identical paper scraps from cutting down the paper for the alphabet, so it was easy to do four that matched. John and Lestrade are on cool grey backgrounds with warm grey skin, and the Holmeses are all warm greys except for their clothing. Everyone got a bit of personality to them, John in his stripey jumper with the skull art from the show, Sherlock with his violin, Lestrade with his phone at a crime scene and Mycroft with his brolly and wallpaper.
Sherlock Bookmarks, set of 4, 1.875″ x 4.875″ pen & ink and Copic marker on scrap paper, nfs.

Sharing Warmth, Sherlock fan art by Amy Crook
I sent a Moo card with the main image on it to one of my Sherlock bookmark buyers, and she said she’d never seen it, and sure enough, I’d never posted it. Oops! It’s nicely seasonal now, anyway, with Jack Frost nipping at all sorts of things all over the hemisphere. I really think Sherlock makes it, though, forever interrupting with his own importance.

Lestrade Bookmark 1
by Amy Crook
The week is nearly at an end, and here we come to our Saturday Morning Cartoon, which is also already spoken for. DI Lestrade’s just leaning against the wall, checking his texts while he waits for something interesting to happen. I colored this one entirely in shades of grey, just like Thinking in Grey but without all the background madness.

Above, you can see the wee bit of warm grey in with all the cool ones, shading Lestrade’s otherwise white face and hand. Below, I put him with a book, just because I could.

L is for Lestrade by Amy Crook
Happy Friday the 13th! I bring you a fourth adorably morbid installment in my Baker Street Tinies Edward Gorey/Sherlock pastiche commissions. Lestrade is taken directly from H is for Hector in the original book, though Hector wasn’t texting at the time of his untimely demise.
I highly recommend clicking to see the image larger, if only so you can appreciate my absurdly painstaking work. The original is sold, but there are cards (and soon prints) available in my Etsy shop.
L is for Lestrade, 8.5″x5.5″ pen and ink on paper, sold.

Like Mycroft Loves His Umbrella by Amy Crook
I know it’s a bit early for most people to be thinking about Valentines, but us handcrafters need extra time to get our swag together. I’m thinking of doing a line this year of “I love you like X loves Y” cards — some, like this one, of the dorky fangirl variety, and some of a more geeky bent.
Plus, the image of Mycroft smooching his DI under his favourite umbrella was one I just couldn’t resist.
Like Mycroft Loves His Umbrella, 5″x7″ pen and ink and Copic markers on paper. Get cards and prints at Etsy.

Weeble Wednesday: Mycroft Holmes & DI Lestrade

Mycroft Holmes and DI Lestrade by Amy Crook
I’ve been trying to give my weebles a little more life, so I took on the challenge of drawing Mycroft Holmes leaning smugly with his umbrella, and the put-upon Detective Inspector Lestrade, both from the 2009 BBC Sherlock.
I also made judicious use of photographic references, which I think really captures the features of these actors – it’s excellent practice for making clients into cartoons and vice versa. A year of working to put other people’s faces into cartoon form has really improved my grasp on what features add the most character.
