Blankie, a Sherlock parody comic by Amy Crook
This idea came up in conversation with yet another friend, so I suppose it’s sort of like a fourth sketch prompt. We both liked the idea of Sherlock gloomily buried in his duvet, refusing to come out until a good case comes along. I can only imagine John’s accompanying expression of total exasperation.
The original has been claimed, but you can send this as a card to that one friend that clearly needs to get out more.

Not That Kind of Dwarf

Not That Kind of Dwarf, parody comic by Amy Crook
“Hi Ho, Hi Ho, to Erebor we go!”
“I’m not that kind of dwarf!”
The last of my friends’ silly sketch prompts, though I admit to taking liberties with the intent of “Thorin and his minions.” This is sort of a three-way crossover, with the Disney song sneaking in a third fandom. Because reasons.
You can get Thorin and his Minions on a card at my Etsy shop, to add a bit of surreal pop culture to the day of a very deserving friend.

Q. Holmes

Q. Holmes, a fan art comic by Amy Crook
The second of the silly sketch prompts, proving my friends deserve me, is the crossover known as Bondlock, wherein Bond’s Q is the third Holmes brother. I imagine he’s making that face because his big brothers are giving him crap about his fashion sense, though honestly being related to those two is cause enough.
The original was sold in last month’s Floating Gallery, but you can get cards at my Etsy shop, should you so desire. They frame beautifully, or so I’m told.

Seven More

Seven More by Amy Crook
The wonderful patron who owns Seven for a Secret wanted a similar painting to send as a gift for someone who needed cheering. I painted a lighter, bluer sky with greener, more summery trees for him. The whole painting has a much more cheery sort of sky than the original, with my new favorite flock of crows flying in the distance. I’m really starting to get the hang of the tiny crows, I think, which is why I’ve been painting bats and geese instead. Perhaps October’s trees will get some crows to go with them.
I have reports that it’s been well-received and the recipient was much cheered by it, so hooray.

Kittenish

Kittenish by Amy Crook
A while back I asked some friends for sketch prompts, and this is the first of three quite adorably silly suggestions I was given. After I sketched them, I couldn’t resist inking and coloring them, and so we have James Bond getting a face full of kitten fur from his Quartermaster.
Remember, real men head boop kittens.
The original was sold in September’s Floating Gallery, but you can get a card in my Etsy shop.

Step Into the Light

Step Into the Light by Amy Crook
I challenged myself with this piece to start with pink instead of blue, and still make something that spoke to me visually the same way Invent the Universe does. The light ended up in the center, more of a tunnel than a pathway, inviting you to step through and see what it’s like out in the light.

Above, you can see the gold lettering catching the sunlight and putting the white of the paper to shame. Below, you can see the painting in its frame, waiting for the right wall.

Flying V

Flying V by Amy Crook
You can tell I really miss fall, because this is the second painting this month with the lovely dead trees. This time it’s a V of geese flying in the distance, taking the last breath of summer south with them so winter can finally come.
Last month, two patrons were interested in Sleep Until the Sun Goes Down, and the one who didn’t buy it told me she’d have preferred geese. Fortunately, I have that power, and now she’s happily bought her own spooky trees.

Above, you can see the geese making their way across the sky in their even formation. Below, you can see them in a frame, hanging out with my iPhone so you can see how tiny they really are.
