January 2026 Patreon Sketches

Sunday, March 1st, 2026

Time keeps on happening, and so do Patreon sketches! This month we have a batch of 10, all for prompts from my intrepid patrons.

10 sketch cards by Amy Crook

  • Eric asked for hot air balloons and I went a little nerdy with the designs. (sold)
  • Nick said “Six!” and I made a muppet six for him. Purple is the most muppety color and I will not take any notes on this.
  • SaraBeth wanted one of my cats as a salt shaker, so I chose chonky Lapis, although of course her actual spots are different than shown. (sold)
  • Shannon asked for warmth and got tea and a rather swampy sort of dragon.
  • Amy B wanted a party crow so I found some crows playing and drew this jaunty fellow in a hat. (sold)
  • Andria wanted a studious white squirrel. (sold)
  • Allison wanted one of the small fae from Friends in Low Places and I drew Stick. (sold)
  • Jefferson prompted Happy New Fears and we are peeking monstrously through the door. (sold)
  • Kelly wanted a space cat and this guy is floating happy and free. (sold)
  • Jo asked for a dragon in a quilt, and has received.

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

August 2025 Sketch Cards

Thursday, October 2nd, 2025

Another month, another batch of sketches! I hope you’re having a lovely fall, and that the actual autumnal weather finds you with hot cider and a warm sweater, whenever it happens.

10 sketch cards by Amy Crook

  • Eric asked for a scoundrel, and Lando is last on his list! (sold)

  • Kelly asked for trees and has three to choose from, haha, starting with this one (sold)
  • And here is a second tree with an orangier sunset going on

  • Amy B wanted a birb, and also has two to choose from (sold)
  • Jo wanted some sun to cheer her up when the weather’s grey, so here’s some tiny birds flying past a nice big sun
  • Here’s tree number three, all foggy and spooky with a little crow friend
  • Nick wanted the Honmoon from KPDH and I went for a rainbow version
  • And here’s a borb to go with the other birb (sold)

October 2024 Patron Sketches

Wednesday, December 4th, 2024

I ended up doing these guys a little late for the inevitable holiday cold reasons, but I had a really fun mix of prompts this time, at least!

7 sketch cards by Amy Crook in various media

  • Nick asked for “kissmas” after some book he likes, and gets the blorbos from my upcoming Goblin Market book instead. Sorry not sorry.
  • Andria wanted a confused jack-o-lantern.
  • Eric asked for “The Ballad” and I had fun fading this out on the left like the world in Coraline when she tries to walk away and instead walks around. (sold)
  • Kelly wanted hellfire, so I painted some fun flames and added a few lost souls for ambience. (sold)
  • SaraBeth asked for Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors, and I went for the smaller version because it’s just cuter. (sold)
  • Amy B wanted an autumnal Pod, and in autumn all Pod wants is warms.
  • Rebecca W said of course she still loves Pod (who was the cat on that post, iirc) and so I experimented a little with light and form and color for her. (sold)

August 2024 Patreon Sketches

Wednesday, October 9th, 2024

As usual, these were requested in August, sketched in September, and are being shared here a little after that! I still have my 100 Cats project to share with y’all, but I haven’t yet figured out what format I want to use for the posts (and how much Photoshopping it will require, sigh).

8 sketch cards by Amy Crook

  • Nick and Andria both wanted coziness, so the napping purrito and autumn opossum are for them.
  • SaraBeth asked for two of my OCs, Andy and Horace. Andy is a weird shadow monster who is in full muppet mode here, lol. (sold)
  • Jefferson wanted a Galaxy Cake, ironically not the cake I had for my birthday this year. (sold)
  • Eric asked for egrets. No regrets, only egrets. (sold)
  • Kelly asked for a phoenix and got this sparkly boyo. (sold)
  • Amber wanted Calvin & Hobbes, which I am always happy to deliver. (sold)
  • I got another new pack of cool pencils and experimented with them to draw weird fire.
  • Amy B wanted a batcat for the season! (sold)

June 2024 Patron Sketches

Tuesday, July 30th, 2024

There was a bat in our basement! It appears to have left on its own, but man, what a random ending to the week. Before all that, I spent the day on sketch cards! Everything is watercolor this time around because reasons.

9 sketch cards by Amy Crook

From the top left:

  • Kelly asked for a rainbow kitty
  • Amy B prompted “our big, loud pride in [their] shameful times”
  • SaraBeth prompted “quiet pride”
  • Eric asked for Gonzo
  • Jeff asked for Fozzie Ramone
  • Amber prompted “sidekick wanted!”
  • Andria wanted a subtle bi owl
  • Corinne referred to Goomy day by asking for “slime and rainbows”
  • and Nick asked for a Mandragora from Final Fantasy

There’s actually a 10th card, but it’s a spoiler for the cover of A Flutter of Fae, which is now with my beta readers, with its plot all fixed and some fresh typos for their pleasure of discovery.
