Eleven’s 1100, Doctor Who fan art by Amy Crook
The Doctor is unimpressed with boring human age-related angst as well, because it’s a good time to be drawing birthday card art. He’s lived over 1100 years! He’s got his trusty TARDIS to keep him company, anyway, and a bowtie. Bowties are cool.
Eleven’s 1100, 5″x7″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper, nfs (sold). He’s still available as a card in my Etsy shop.

Above, you can see the sun washing the Doctor red and blue, but bringing out his cheekbones in sharp relief. Below, he’s hanging out in his frame with his TARDIS and a random cephalopod.

Tea at Bag End

Tea at Bag End, The Hobbit fan art by Amy Crook
After I drew Second Breakfast and sold the original, I was very sad for the empty spot on my wheat-yellow wall he had once occupied. So, I drew a Bilbo of my very own! He’s having a lovely tea at home in his dressing gown. Bilbo’s very glad to be back in the Shire where a hobbit can get six proper meals a day and enjoy a proper cuppa in comfort.
I’m considering making prints or blank cards, I haven’t decided yet, but his original art is staying here with me.

Above, you can see Reaching Out and Tea at Bag End in their permanent homes, and Skull Paper (which will post later this week) hanging out with them so I can enjoy it while I still have it.

Sunday Round-Up & Branch Sketch
Sunday, March 24th, 2013
skulls and fishies and ‘toons, oh, my!
Another week of art has gone by like a flash! Monday I gave you whimsical skulls, and Tuesday a spooky fish skeleton. Wednesday we revisited the ocean depths with sea creatures galore. Thursday we got a dwarf’s view of birthdays, and Friday brought us Sherlock’s views on the subject. Saturday Sherlock was very grumpy indeed — he did not enjoy the party, apparently.
Below, we have a little brush-pen sketch of the tree outside my window, which just got a nice trim to clear away the dead branches and give Pod a better view of the crows that visit him.

GrumpySherlock

GrumpySherlock cartoon by Amy Crook
I had a day last week when I was kept awake past my bedtime by noisy people, and awakened far before my usual time by different noisy people, and spent the entire day feeling very grumpy indeed. So, I cheered myself up with this — note the Grumpycat-like shading around his eyes and mouth, especially.

Sherlock Birthday
Friday, March 22nd, 2013
“The fact of your birth isn’t so much cause for celebration as a biological coincidence –“
“He means, ‘Happy Birthday.'”
Sherlock Birthday cartoon by Amy Crook
Yes, it’s birthday card time here on my art table — there’s a Doctor Who one coming up next week, too. In this case I drew Sherlock in his infamous purple shirt, John in his cute oatmeal sweater, and John’s elbow not quite making it into Sherlock’s ribs to shut him up. I can just feel John gritting his teeth as he tries to cover for Sherlock’s faux pas (again).

Oin Birthday
Thursday, March 21st, 2013
“Don’t get your beard in a twist.
It’s just another birthday.”
Oin Birthday cartoon by Amy Crook
There’s something really fun about drawing parody dwarves, especially knowing there’s 13 of them to draw. Oin, brother of Gloin, is a rather old and cranky dwarf and a bit hard of hearing. He’s got a couple of hundred years on you and is therefore completely unimpressed with your angst about that big birthday milestone.
I made this for sort of an anti-over-the-hill card, because sometimes I get tired of hearing people worrying about turning 30, 40, 50, or whatever. Also, grumpy dwarf. Okay, mostly for the grumpy dwarf.

The Brothers Holmes Bonus Comics
Saturday, March 16th, 2013
The Brothers Holmes, Bonus Comic 1, by Amy Crook
In talking to the person who originally commissioned The Brothers Holmes comics, we found two little snippets from other peoples’ stories that inspired her to ask for me to add a pair of color bonus comics to the series. Above, we have a 3-year-old Sherlock in the midst of an obsession with xylophones, and poor Mycroft trying to be all grown up at 10.
Below, you can see that 8-year-old Sherlock’s heard a Monster in the tree that hides his box of treasures, and he’s relying on his big brother Mycroft, now 15, to rescue his things.
