Relax with a Lemon

This was a school project to advertise Lemons

Jardin de Elefantes

This was done for a solo album for an musician in Argentina, He said he even talked about this illustration on the most listened radio station in his city.

Random Doodles

Here are some random doodles I have been working on recently

I have been playing around with colour recently, and have found the fun in using coloured pencils again. This is the result, I am quite happy with the looseness of the pen work too, having worked previously in heavy inks.

I think it is time, for me to ditch my handwriting as the font, here is a commission work I was working on...
I think the writing gives it more of a professional feel.

Prints are avaliable to buy from http://wolfgangmustdie.deviantart.com/art/Cup-O-Tea-2-126123409

Tompot Blenny

This was a present for Kim Stevens, she likes marine life and this is her favorite, a Tompot Blenny

Comics and Childrens Books

It has been a while since I posted last - life has been quite busy recently with college coursework and commission work but life is good.

I have nearly finished my illustrations for a Childrens Book writen by Peter Rogers titled 'Ogres Fairly Grotty' (as below) just a few minor tweeks here and there, and the author recons that the book will be published in time for Christmas.

And I am working on my first comic, the name of the comic is 'Freaks-o-Nature' and it will be self published under the name of 'Ulfgang Comix', below are a few concept illustrations of some of the characters.

Winning is for Losers

On Deviant art I have come across or rather invited to look at this interesting page Winning is for losers. It is were several cartoonists or rather their cartoons battle it out in a tournament. The battles are voted for by the public.

My entry is Magnus the Battle Hamster
They have also asked me (and other cartoonist) to illustrate the battles this is a battle between Snowfire and Marsh&Mallow
It is a very interesting idea, check it out and don't forget to vote for Magnus

A new website

I have just bought myself a new website domain, it's www.stuartmcghee.com. It is a working progress and my first attempt at websites.

This is a random sketch I did after college today, I really like it. I think maybe I can branch into graphic novel type illustration

Chamelorat

This is one of my Bizzanimals. This is a Chamelorat it is a cross between a Chameleon and a Rat. It sits around trees in the park and steals food from passers by.

Comic Books?

I am a big comic book fan (mainly marvel comics) and I have always wanted to draw like that. So for my latest college project I am creating a comic book. Don't worry it will still be humourous. This is one of the characters.

I have just joined the Sagan 4 team, a website dedicated to creating new species. This is my first creation a dungat, a decendant of a norat

Trying something new

I am trying something new here, It has been suggested that I try a comic strip, here is my first attempt.

Have I improved as an illustrator?

Have I improved as an illustrator?

That is the big question for me since I joined Plymouth College of Art and Design (or soon to be Plymouth College of Art). I like to think I have, my colouring has improved drastically (it is easy to do as I never used colour in my work before). But I think I will improve even more with the course, I feel I am on the verge of a break through, that will leap-frog me into a professional illustrator.

I like to thank my tutors, Mel,Phil and Andy for all there support.

New to this

I have been put under pressure to create a blog from my lecturer from college, Mel Brown.

Finally I got my finger out and created one

This is a picture of a tooth fairy which I created.
