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.

Bonus Art: Drunk Octopus

Drunk Octopus by Drunk Amy
I skipped my art on Saturday because I was out all day, and at one point I ended up having a couple of Tom Collins while waiting for Iron Man 2 to start. I was reminded at that time that I hadn’t done my Daily Art post that day, and I whipped the napkin out from under my drink to doodle up this in about a minute. I didn’t make it home in time to share it on Saturday, so, here it is, stuffed-in-purse wrinkles, cherry-stem stain and all!
Tom Collins, yum.

Octopus by Amy Crook
Busy day, I nearly forgot to post — here, have an old doodle! I do have a fondness for sea life…

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.

Ever wondered what it’s like to become a cartoon? Skaja Wills was kind enough to let me share the process with you.
