Random Doodles

2009-10-09T09:39:00.000-07:00

Here are some random doodles I have been working on recently

2009-10-02T03:27:00.000-07:00

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.

Comics and Childrens Books

2009-04-14T18:15:00.001-07:00

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

2009-02-09T03:15:00.000-08:00

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

Comic Books?

2009-01-24T04:44:00.000-08:00

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.

2009-01-23T13:47:00.000-08:00

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

Have I improved as an illustrator?

2009-01-17T06:43:00.000-08:00

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

2009-01-13T08:39:00.000-08:00

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.
