November 2024 Patron Sketches

Saturday, January 4th, 2025

I’m gonna have some actual full-size art to show y’all pretty soon, but for now here’s another batch of sketch cards from Patreon!

9 sketch cards by Amy Crook

  • Jefferson asked for, “That trick never works!” and gets a crow peeking out of an orange magician’s top hat. (sold)
  • Amy B wanted a cosy mole in a waistcoat, and I gave him a cup of tea and a jaunty bowler hat, which has somehow made him look like a Loony Tunes villain, or at least a henchmole. (sold)
  • Kelly wanted autumn/fall, and having a leaf to do later, I decided on this cosy purrito objecting to the changing weather. I think autumn was about 11 seconds long this year, so my mood has gone straight to winter, sorry! (sold)
  • This crow is the first of three bonus cards! I did some gloomy, rainy autumn/winter backgrounds and then let myself play. (nfs)
  • Bonus Crow the Second, with a trio and a tree.
  • Bonus Crow the Third, just one jaunty corvid and a different tree.
  • SaraBeth asked for Solidarity and gets some Pride-themed word art. (sold)
  • Eric wanted a favorite cup of tea, and this is one of my favorite impractical teacups that I own, filled with sweet, milky Earl Grey. (sold)
  • Andria asked for the perfect autumn leaf, and I think doing this first stole all of my fall feeling, lol. (sold)

A lovely end to the year, all watercolors and my fancy new pencils!

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)

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.

March 2024 Patreon Sketches

Monday, May 13th, 2024

I wrote a LOT of words last month (over 50K!) on the new Consulting Magic book, so these were a little late, but I got ’em done. Enjoy!

  • Amber asked me to do “the artist in residence” (me) so I went a little ridiculous with it. (sold)
  • Jefferson prompted “barcodes on the brain” and really I don’t know what else you could expect from me. (sold)
  • Nick wanted a baby Chocobo.
  • Amy B said “grumple” which I decided was “grumpy skrunkle” and there he is. (sold)
  • Catherine asked for a Princess Fish.
  • Deandra asked for the Queen Bees from To Hive and to Hold, and I did the more alien-looking one, only I’m just not great at translating them from my brain so you know, don’t take her as canon lol.
  • Kelly wanted a cat + dragon, and gets this draconic kitty. (sold)
  • Eric asked for Cloud Strife in a dress, and, welp, here he is! (sold)

I hope you guys have had a great April and don’t get rained on too much!
