October 2022 Patreon sketches

Thursday, April 13th, 2023

We’re getting toward the present! Only a few more months to go — requests made in one month are then fulfilled by the end of the next, so these were done well after Drawtober was over, lol.

  • Jefferson prompted “kobold turkey chef” so we get this elaborate but ill-advised attempt at deep fried turkey. I’m really not sure if this dungeon’s boiling oil vats are food-safe, guys. (sold)
  • Eric prompted “witchcraft” so I drew a tarot card, then drew a tarot card, as it were. And I remembered how to draw hands! Woo! (sold)
  • Andria asked for a wizard raven, and has received her wish.
  • Amy B prompted “spooky monkey” and idk, man, this is what came out of my brain. Trick or Banana, I guess? (sold)

August 2022 Patreon sketches

Thursday, April 6th, 2023

So many requests that month! I had a lot of fun with them, despite a head cold that took out our whole household (but wasn’t covid, whew).

July 2022 Patreon sketches

Tuesday, April 4th, 2023

Plus a bunch of bonus corvids! I wanted to do some gestural corvids, hilariously unrelated to the poll earlier, just to keep up my practice of loose, interesting birbs.

July 2022 ACEO sketches by Amy Crook

Only 2 people actually asked for things in July, so we have:

  • Jefferson, who asked for Iron Chef Klingon and gets deconstructed disgustingness (sold)
  • a purple crow giving some side-eye (sold)
  • a rainbow crow giving some serious side-eye (sold)
  • some crows flying through a gorgeous sunrise, inspired by Shayla Maddox’s current photo project (pretty sure this one’s been claimed too)
  • A bi pride sea turtle for Andria, the only piece to use an actual pen (for the purple bits) outside of the signature, heh (sold)
  • and a fluffed-up blue corvid having a bloody red treat (sold)

I actually used references for everything but the food, though I googled Klingon names to give our chef his moniker. I also mentally wrote some weird fanfic in my head about this dish while doodling, so, uh. Enjoy the grossness?

April 2022 Patreon sketches

Thursday, March 23rd, 2023

Guess who’s been doing sketches on Patreon for months and not posting them to the blog? It’s me! I’ll be getting the last many months of them out on the blog over the next few weeks, so please enjoy the ridiculousness.

April 2022 ACEO sketches by Amy Crook

April 2022 ACEO sketches by Amy Crook

  • This one wasn’t a prompt, I just wanted to draw trees and birbs on this orange sunset
  • Jeff asked for ‘distracted’
  • Another non-prompt experiment with salt and watercolor on yupo that got some marker topography
  • And ‘rose candy’ for Eric

These have all found a new home, but some of the later ones are still available for the discerning collector. You can also make an account and follow me on Patreon for free, where these are always posted publicly, or Instagram or Twitter, where I post some things as the mood strikes me.

March 2022 Patreon Sketches

Monday, May 9th, 2022

There should be a Floating Gallery coming for you June 1, but for now please enjoy a nice big batch of sketch cards for my darling Patreon patrons! Some of them are for specific people, and then extras get sent to my Snow Leopards in with their other quarterly goodies.

March 2022 ACEO sketches by Amy Crook

There’s eight here, only two of which are spoken for! From top left:

  • Purple abstract! I dunno, I just like it.
  • Weird silly drippy experiment abstract, which I also like now that I’ve plaid-ified the gold and turquoise a bit.
  • Jeff asked for “writer’s block” and got this shiny, trippy bit of weirdness.
  • Eric asked for SPAAAAAACE! and his is also shiny, but he gets a TARDIS.
  • This cool sky I made got a city and some birbs to go with it.
  • I gave this little raven some more cowbell and untucked his face from his wing.
  • I also gave this abstract some more cowbell and now it’s reasonably unrecognizable and also has some Concentric vibes.
  • And this last one is full Concentric, with a bunch of bursts that kind of vanish and 3 that do not. Totally something that doesn’t work in a photo, sorry.
