This digital illustration of Glasgow Celtic midfielder Shannon McGregor was a custom commission for COYGIG, a brand that creates Celtic-inspired women’s merchandise. They wanted a piece that celebrated Shannon as part of their growing focus on women’s football and the players who inspire their community.
The composition brings together a portrait and an action pose in Celtic’s away shirt of 24-25, working digitally allowed me to refine the lighting, texture, and line work to give the piece a sense of movement and realism.
A real highlight of this project came afterwards — Shannon McGregor kindly signed one of the prints and sent it back to me
Projects like this are always rewarding. They celebrate not just the athletes themselves, but also the growing visibility of women’s football and the creative community that supports it.
