Tentacle Monster Sketch

Tentacle Monster sketch by Amy Crook
I saved this guy for Tuesday for obvious reasons. I’m not sure if he’s Lovecraftian or just really creepy, but he was fun to draw, like a Van Gogh sunflower gone very, very wrong.

Evil Wreath Muppet Thingy sketch by Amy Crook
What? They can’t all have awesome titles. It’s been a busy weekend of coughing up my lungs and selling coloring books on Etsy, so you’ll be getting more coloring book sketches for the foreseeable future. Enjoy!

Elder Thing sketch

Elder Thing sketch by Amy Crook
Another little coloring book sketch! This one is a proper Lovecraftian beastie, the Elder Thing, which is symmetrical along five sides instead of bilaterally. I didn’t really look up all the details, so I’m pretty sure I got some of the bits not quite right, but I don’t really mind. He looks beastly enough like this.

Cuppa Shoggoth? sketch by Amy Crook
I’m still not feeling well, so I’ll just let this little coloring book doodle (that is, one of the sketches I usually draw in the inside front cover whenever someone buys a Cthulhu Coloring Book or Monster Heart Coloring Book) speak for itself.
Or something.

SnowCthulhu

SnowCthulhu by Amy Crook
It’s a snowman! It’s Cthulhu! It’s… SnowCthulhu!
Tiny, delicate pen work makes up the stick tentacles, arms and wings. This demanded careful, slightly messy watercolors to paint in the sticks and blue snowy shadows on him. His coal-black eyes have little hints of blue and purple in them just like real coal. Basically, he’s just awesome.
He may or may not become a holiday card this year, but he’ll definitely star in next year’s lineup. I was just feeling seasonal! And, you know, Lovecraftian. Because Christmas and unspeakable horrors just go together.
SnowCthulhu, 7″x5″ pen & ink and watercolor on paper.

Like Mycroft Loves His Umbrella

Like Mycroft Loves His Umbrella by Amy Crook
I know it’s a bit early for most people to be thinking about Valentines, but us handcrafters need extra time to get our swag together. I’m thinking of doing a line this year of “I love you like X loves Y” cards — some, like this one, of the dorky fangirl variety, and some of a more geeky bent.
Plus, the image of Mycroft smooching his DI under his favourite umbrella was one I just couldn’t resist.
Like Mycroft Loves His Umbrella, 5″x7″ pen and ink and Copic markers on paper. Get cards and prints at Etsy.

Horizon bookmark

Horizon bookmark by Amy Crook
This little bookmark is a relative of my larger piece, On the Horizon. I’ve been field-testing it and actually the salt crystals are really there to stay. The salt pools are just shallow enough that they don’t scratch up the page or overly stuff the book, and the paper it’s on is a nice sturdy watercolor paper.
