Sherlock Birthday
Friday, March 22nd, 2013
“The fact of your birth isn’t so much cause for celebration as a biological coincidence –“
“He means, ‘Happy Birthday.'”
Sherlock Birthday cartoon by Amy Crook
Yes, it’s birthday card time here on my art table — there’s a Doctor Who one coming up next week, too. In this case I drew Sherlock in his infamous purple shirt, John in his cute oatmeal sweater, and John’s elbow not quite making it into Sherlock’s ribs to shut him up. I can just feel John gritting his teeth as he tries to cover for Sherlock’s faux pas (again).

Oin Birthday
Thursday, March 21st, 2013
“Don’t get your beard in a twist.
It’s just another birthday.”
Oin Birthday cartoon by Amy Crook
There’s something really fun about drawing parody dwarves, especially knowing there’s 13 of them to draw. Oin, brother of Gloin, is a rather old and cranky dwarf and a bit hard of hearing. He’s got a couple of hundred years on you and is therefore completely unimpressed with your angst about that big birthday milestone.
I made this for sort of an anti-over-the-hill card, because sometimes I get tired of hearing people worrying about turning 30, 40, 50, or whatever. Also, grumpy dwarf. Okay, mostly for the grumpy dwarf.

Further Adventures of Otter & Hedgehog

Floating Nap, dorky fan art by Amy Crook
Another week, another piece of adorable otter/hedgehog art. I imagine this is the missing bit between the first two pieces, after the hedgehog got tired of swimming but before they dried off and curled up in their scarves to nap.
I imagine this because I’m a big dorky fangirl, and I enjoy it.

No One Fights Like Thorin

No One Fights Like Thorin,
a Hobbit/Beauty and the Beast parody cartoon by Amy Crook
I’m not sure at what point I equated the dwarves’ invasion of Bag End with Gaston’s proposal to Belle, muddy boots and all, but this is the result. This, and having that song about Gaston in my head for days, that is.
I used google to find a good image of Gaston with his boots up. Poor Bilbo, he looks as dismayed about Great-Grandmother Baggins’ table-runner as Belle did about her book.
Gaston proposes to Belle
Above, you can see the original scene of which mine is merely a parody. Below, you can see a totally random close-up of Thorin’s muddy boots.
“…Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Thorin!”

Fantastic, Doctor Who art by Amy Crook
After drawing Ten and Eleven, I couldn’t resist adding the short-lived Ninth Doctor to the mix. Although I’ve hardly seen any of the classic Doctor Who, I’ve really enjoyed the new series, though I always seem to prefer whichever doctor was last for about a series and a half before I become really fond of the current doctor.
Of course, I also made a greeting card of the Ninth Doctor, with your choice of messages inside.

Above, you can see the Doctor’s wry grin and slouching posture. Below, he’s in a frame, hanging out with my iPhone for scale.

Bilbo and Smaug Bookmark 1

Bilbo & Smaug Bookmark 1 by Amy Crook
This is the other bookmark that someone already claimed, a wee tiny Hobbit looking quite distressed indeed to be confronted with a dragon. Smaug, on the other hand, looks highly amused by his discovery. I’m definitely going to do some more art for The Hobbit as well, I want to draw some dwarves.
Things will be back to normal tomorrow with another moon for Monday, so I hope you enjoyed this Bookmark Week and picked up one for yourself or a friend!

Weeping Angel Bookmark

Weeping Angel
Bookmark
by Amy Crook
This Weeping Angel crept into someone’s heart when they got my newsletter last week, and so it’s already been snapped up. But never fear, I’m sure I’ll draw another of these creepy creatures again soon, and I’ve already got some more Doctor Who art in the pipeline.
Just remember, don’t look away. Don’t even blink.

Above, you can see its seemingly peaceful face up close. Below, it’s sitting on a book, just daring me to look away.
