Colourist extaordinaire Fin Cramb has joined the Tara Togs team. Here is the first colour test: this image is in CMYK, so may lose something in translation to RGB on some computers/phones…if the colours look flourescent, they have shifted!
When you have to draw the same view of something that is fiddley, and could easily duplicate an older image in Photoshop…but we don’t cut corners like that in the Tara Togs studio.

I’m very happy to announce that Tara Togs: The Silence of Unicorns now has the backing of Creative Scotland!
With the black and white artwork almost complete, the colouring and lettering stages can begin, and thanks to the funding from Creative Scotland, the entire book will be completed in the next four months!

I just finished drawing Tara Togs after three years and three weeks of drawing the book. The lettering and colouring are still in progress, but the hardest part is now finished. I drew this book at A2, so had to fill two A3 pages per printed page, which doubled the work, but I think has been worth it…you can see the four folders I’ve filled with artwork in the pics.
The Tara Togs script is 168 pages long, which translates into 66 pages of actual book. It took nine days to write this and three years to draw it all.

Colouring continues on Tara Togs. Years finally reduced to months, and now months have reduced to a few weeks away from completing this project.

I got a copy of Tara Togs printed out today, for final checks…and am very pleased with how it’s looking!
I’m very happy to announce that Tara Togs will be making her debut in November! Not in the form of the graphic novel, but in a new short story that has been created especially for ComicScene. This nine page adventure will be her first footsteps into the world, and I’m very grateful to ComicScene for featuring her. You can find out more about ComicScene, and order a copy here
I’m very happy to announce that ComicScene will be running a Kickstarter for the first full length graphic novel starring Tara Togs! The Silence of Unicorns is a 66 page adventure, that was created over the past three years. The Kickstarter will run in March 2024, and will be for a hundred copies only…a very limited first printing of the book. Here’s a first look at the cover image and a page of interior art; more details will follow in the new year…
