Navy Squid, commissioned art by Amy Crook, all rights reserved
This commission was a Christmas gift, it’s just taken me a while to get it into the schedule with all the other madness going on.
The giftee for this was formerly in the Navy, and is a fan of two of Boston’s sports teams, so we incorporated both those ideas into his cheerful blue tentacularness*. He’s either doffing or straightening his cover, which is at a bit of a jaunty angle for a proper naval serviceman. Or servicesquid.

*tentacularness is totally a word

Self-Portrait of the Artist as a Villain, with Cats

Self-Portrait of the Artist as a Villain, with Cats, by Amy Crook
It’s been so long since I dyed my hair or drew a weeble, I decided it was time for a new self-portrait. I drew myself in the style of my Sherlock and Doctor Who fan art comics, so now I, too, can be a fancy stick figure. I’ve also updated the site to match my awesome purple villain chair, I hope you enjoy the cool violets that have replaced my beloved bloody reds.
Pod is sitting in my lap, with Belladonna up top, and the three of us have identical unimpressed expressions, which amuses me greatly. The ‘NO’ t-shirt isn’t actually in my collection, but it’s one of my favorite words. It’s useful in so many situations!

Sunset Silhouette 2

Sunset Silhouette 2 by Amy Crook
I was walking home the other day and I spotted one of these trees, and I had to go google and find out what species they were. It turns out it’s actually a pruning technique so I still don’t know (I am abysmal at tree identification, seriously), but I had fun looking at photos and drawing this one.
There’s a pair of birds here, but are they friends or foes? I have a story in my head, but I like the ambiguity of it. Is the second bird coming to join the first one and hang out, or to eat him?
Either way, I’m quite fond of the way the landing bird’s wings came out, silhouetted against the pink-orange-gold of the sunset clouds, with the deep orange sun just peeking up above the horizon, reluctant to leave the earth entirely.

Above, you can see the two birds up close, along with the twisty tree all dark against the light-filled sky. Below, the piece is in a frame, small and perfect to fit somewhere you need a bit of beauty.

No Hugs 2

No Hugs 2, a Doctor Who comic by Amy Crook
I’ve visited this theme before, but this time a lovely patron commissioned me to draw the objectionable huggers as well! Ten and Eleven both think a three-Doctor reunion is an occasion for hugs, but Twelve is having none of it.
This also sneaks into my theme from last week by being an excellent anti-Valentine.

Daron & Ziggy, a Daron’s Guitar Chronicles comic by Amy Crook
I’m finishing out my week of Valentines with a couple of literal (if fictional) rock stars!
I’ve done art for Daron’s Guitar Chronicles before, and this time I decided to echo (though not copy) a famous David Bowie pose for my two favorite on-again, off-again rock stars. They’re definitely on again here, with Ziggy firmly ensconced between and wrapped around Daron’s legs.

Tentacle-Tied, a Cthulhu comic by Amy Crook
“You make Cthulhu tentacle-tied,” says the Elder God of legend and nightmare, looking quite wide-eyed and nervous. Will you take pity on Cthulhu and be his Valentine?

Centurion

Centurion, a Doctor Who comic by Amy Crook
This Valentine, on the other hand, declares its devotion in no uncertain terms. Rory Williams (or Rory Pond, as the Doctor liked to call him) is all done up in his Centurion gear, saying, “I’d stand sentinel 2000 years for you.”
Now that’s commitment.
Pick one up in my Etsy shop today!
