Tara Normal Graphic Novel Sneak Peek on Operation Hot Blogger

June 29th, 2010

My super-awesome literary agent Bree Ogden let me take control of her blog today and I was allowed to write about anything I wanted (as long as it dealt with something creative, of course!). Despite my usual nature of going way crazy on something I actually went the other route and gave a serious look at my first stages of created the Tara Normal graphic novel. Take a look at the blog to get your first peek at how Tara will look in the series and what one of her outfits will be. I talk about some behind-the-scenes info about the costume. Hope you like it!

A huge thank you to Bree for trusting me to write something for her blog. Next time I promise it will involve robots eating bananas or something ridiculous and obscure.
Tara Normal Graphic Novel Costume Design

    Man, I like the design. I wasn’t sure at first about the skirt, and some of the accessories but reading the link it makes sense that this is when she was younger and is out to impress her beau. Very cool look and design. You definitely take great pride in your details and it truly shows.

    Thank you! Yeah, in the graphic novel she’s younger so you’ll see her wearing younger clothes and different hairstyles but it’ll still be the same awesome Tara from the webcomic. She’ll just have more outfits!

    Lovely, lovely! You could try doing some turn-arounds, although I personally hate drawing those.
