Good Evening, 6″x4″ ink and watercolor on Fluid watercolor paper
This painting has so much in it for being so small! The trees are loose columns sketched by the breeze and the season. The clouds range from bright pink to rich gold with every shade of orange in between. There’s even a colony of bats heading out for its nightly hunt of pesky insects or delicious nectar.
The red sun is barely a hint as it sinks that last tiny fragment down below the horizon, leaving us for the night where some of us belong.
When it comes to pollinators, are you more of a bat or a bee?
Both. Both is good.
Good Evening, detail, by Amy Crook
Above, you can see the tiny bats flying off into the golden-orange sunset. Below, this small painting is in its frame, waiting to bring some color to your wall, shelf, desk, or mantel.

Dream Heroes

Dream Heroes, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
Here are two more commissions for cute chibis to use on Slack as emoji! The patron wanted a set of superheroes, and was open to letting me design the costumes to fit the characters. This explains why Eames is looking very Super in certain areas, where Arthur is sleeker and more no-nonsense. Eames wanted some coral in his costume but it didn’t work well with the gold boots and belt, so we borrowed Arthur’s tasteful lavender instead.
These are drawn as close to a square aspect ratio as possible, so that they work as emoji on Slack. Their adorable 2-head-high chibi style conveys a lot of personality in a tiny space.

MI6 Cheerleaders, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
I sold two more commission spots for cute chibis to use on Slack as emoji, and this is the second. This patron wanted to switch up the fandoms and have Bond and Q as cheerleaders, for cheering on their fellow artists, writers, and favorite humans.

Wolf Whistle, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
I sold two more commission spots for cute chibis to use on Slack as emoji, and this is the first! The patron wanted a blushing, embarrassed Arthur and a wolf-whistling Eames to go with him. We’ve found both very useful in everyday conversation, which probably tells you a lot about our ridiculous chats.

May Patreon Sketches

May 2017 Patreon patron sketches by Amy Crook
June is just around the corner and now’s a great time to become my patron on Patreon! Here’s last month’s sketches, all of which turned out to be bookmarks for various reasons.
Roxanne asked for “Winter Soldier” and I gave her a chibi cutie. Kim wanted “mist” so I experimented with my watercolors for this beautiful, mysterious tower. Eric asked for my cat Pod as Morgana from Persona, with a special nod to his bagel-thieving ways. And finally, Jeff asked for “giving in to temptation” and has been enjoying the new Twin Peaks, so he got the inevitable donut cartoon.
What would you like to see me draw?

Smug Bond & Exasperated Q

Smug Bond & Exasperated Q, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
Last month, I put out a limited number of spots for chibi emoji commissions on my tumblr, and this is the second pair! James Bond, notorious 007, is very smug about something. Something that’s got Q frowning and scolding him, so basically, business as usual.

Arthur Facepalm & Smug Eames, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper
Last month, I put out a limited number of spots for chibi emoji commissions on my tumblr, and this is the first pair! Arthur from Inception is facepalming over something, about which Eames is inordinately proud.
