			Image:Moonlight Serenade, p1 layout.jpg\|"I started off researching the year [[1967]]. Cars, clothes, hairstyle, makeup (I drew [[[Linda Tavara\|Linda's]]] eye lashes different to how I normally draw eye lashes), architecture, fashion trends (I had to carefully plan all her clothing, although [[R.D. Hall]] did suggest the turtleneck sweater on the first page), music and movies."
	Image:Moonlight Serenade, p1 layout.jpg
			Image:Moonlight Serenade, p1 line art.jpg\|"[R.D.] asked for [Linda's] room to have lots of stuffed animals and 'curiously, lots of old shoeboxes'. I decided to go overboard on the stuffed animals, as I saw Linda using them as a substitute for real human contact. An indication of imaginary friends...I wanted to explore as much detail and mood in her room as possible. Long dark shadows line the walls, and I wanted a singular very strong light from the window. I had a ball drawing all the folds of the quilt (I haven't drawn fabric in ''Zero G'' for a VERY long time). The stuffed animals were fun and so was the design of the bed-head. For this page, my lovely sister helped me out and modeled for Linda and her mother."
	Image:Moonlight Serenade, p1 line art.jpg
			Image:Moonlight Serenade, p1 tones.jpg\|"The parents were fun. I liked the idea of these parents cowering around the edge of the door frame, scared of their daughter. I really wanted to communicate that Linda has done something in the past to really scare them. When viewing the page in black and white, I noticed that the shadow cast by the back of the door almost looks like a panel border and heavily bisects the panel. I asked Annette to help me out by adding a glow from the lava lamp to help soften this shadow."
	Image:Moonlight Serenade, p1 tones.jpg
			Image:Moonlight Serenade, p1 colors.jpg\|"Randomly, Annette coloured Linda's jumper red on the first page, and I asked her to maintain the red to add to Linda's whole 'vampiric' nature. After that, I followed [[Micah Gunnell]]'s lead on ''[[War Buddies, Part 7]]'' and kept her clothing and hair flat black after this page."

			Image:Moonlight Serenade, p2 layout.jpg\|"I don't usually play with different angles, but I really liked this design and composition [in the first panel]. I thought it made it very clear that she's asleep and from the expression on her face that she's dreaming. I was more concerned with the graphic elements of lighting and clothing than anything else. I had great fun drawing her left hand and the way it affected the lines of her top. I was especially pleased with that."
	Image:Moonlight Serenade, p2 layout.jpg
			Image:Moonlight Serenade, p2 line art.jpg\|"I love playing with panel borders as a means of communicating different scenes. Transporting a reader across scenes is actually a really tough thing to do...I felt I should do something at my end. My decision was to narrow the panel borders slightly and then add that misty effect to give it that dreamy feel."
	Image:Moonlight Serenade, p2 line art.jpg
			Image:Moonlight Serenade, p2 tones.jpg\|"I had looked through the previous stories and found that we had never seen [[Linda]] actually connect and draw the energy/aura/life force out of someone. We had only seen her glowing blue hand loom over [[Linderman\|someone]]. I asked Annette to make it look like veins of energy being sucked out of this guy's aura."
	Image:Moonlight Serenade, p2 tones.jpg
			Image:Moonlight Serenade, p2 colors.jpg\|"I love this page. It's hands-down my favourite from the entire graphic novel. I didn't even use a model! I had great fun drawing it, but once I saw the life that [[Annette Kwok\|Annette]] injected into it, I almost fell out of my seat. This is Annette and I at our harmonious best. I would argue that this is the best page Annette has ever coloured."

			Image:Moonlight Serenade, p3 layout.jpg\|"One of the few changes to my layouts is in the first panel where [[[Linda Tavara\|Linda's]]] pose is different. Once I decided that she would look sexier in a skirt, I knew I couldn't have her with her legs up like that."
	Image:Moonlight Serenade, p3 layout.jpg
			Image:Moonlight Serenade, p3 line art.jpg\|"I am a huge fan of [[Wikipedia:Bryan Hitch\|Bryan Hitch]] and [[Wikipedia:Paul Neary\|Paul Neary]]'s work on ''[[Wikipedia:The Ultimates (comic book)\|The Ultimates]]''. I love their layouts and the street scenes that they draw. I used this page to tackle their style."
	Image:Moonlight Serenade, p3 line art.jpg
			Image:Moonlight Serenade, p3 tones.jpg\|"Panels 3, 4 and 5 really show what I can do. I also like how the mess of detail contrasts with Linda's solid black figure. Again, I avoided drawing her feet to give her an ethereal, floating feeling. She's not grounded in this story. She floats though it like some sort of unwordly spirit."
	Image:Moonlight Serenade, p3 tones.jpg
			Image:Moonlight Serenade, p3 final.jpg\|"People have really noted the brilliant job she did on the auras, and have especially commented on [[R.D. Hall]]'s great idea of the hippie with his tie-died aura...It's hokey, but it works so damn well."

			Image:Moonlight Serenade, p 4 layout.jpg\|"[[Ida May Walker]]...has the designated "pixie hairstyle" that R.D requested. I did have to do a bit of Google action to find out what the hell a pixie hairstyle was. Having just read ''Artemis Fowl'', they're lucky I didn't give her pointed ears."
	Image:Moonlight Serenade, p 4 layout.jpg
			Image:Moonlight Serenade, p 4 line art.jpg\|"I had to deviate here from the script as it asked for a full [[jazz]] band playing here. While I did some research on what jazz bands looked like in the 60s, I felt that they would hog the panel. Besides, a lone saxophone player screams "jazz and blues" to me more than a full band does."
	Image:Moonlight Serenade, p 4 line art.jpg
			Image:Moonlight Serenade, p 4 tones.jpg\|For ''Moonlight Serenade'', Jason used a new tonal style, and this is the first time it's been colored by Annette. He began developing the style with ''[[The Death of Hana Gitelman]]'' "as a way to replace the time-consuming layered greyscale effect that I used on ''[[Road Kill]]'' and ''[[War Buddies]]''."
	Image:Moonlight Serenade, p 4 tones.jpg
			Image:Moonlight Serenade, p 4 final.jpg\|"Ah, [[Annette Kwok\|Annette]] with her crazy floral drapes. This again is another example of how I use models--and that is only as guidelines. The same model posed for both [[Retirement Villa nurse\|the nurse]] and [[Linda]]. I just used the model as an indicator of lighting and expression. The rest all comes from my twisted little head."
