The Moon Prince Page 301: More Bat Than Girl!

Dear Readers:

Here's the first “new” page of The Moon Prince since May 13th. I put “new” in quotation marks because you may already have read it, but with different art! I posted a series of pages with a “cartoonier” drawing style I wanted to test out, then decided to go back to something closer to the traditional way I've been drawing the story since the beginning way back in 2011 - meaning we have to backtrack a bit.

So here's the new style I've settled on, which is a little less “clean” than the original but otherwise pretty similar. New pages will be posting every Friday from now on. Thanks as always for reading, and thanks for your patience!

Your pal,
Kevin

The Moon Prince Page 314: About Face!


Dear Readers:

Back in May I announced that I'd be changing the style I use to draw The Moon Prince to something more "cartoony", so as to free up some time to work on other projects. Since then, I've caught up on my other projects and, with a little more time available, decided that I'll finish up The Moon Prince in something closer to the original "clean line" style after all. Sorry to be so inconsistent!

So here's the last page I'll do in the cartoony style. I'm going to take a little break to redo pages 301 to 314, then I'll start posting them again in a few weeks (in the meantime I'll post some old favorite pages as well as some "process" pages showing how I make The Moon Prince).

Thanks for your patience, and thanks for reading!

Your pal,
Kevin

The Moon Prince Page 302: A Bitta English

One advantage to switching to a looser drawing style for The Moon Prince (see below for more on this) is it lets me post more often - from now we'll have new pages every Tuesday AND Friday!

The Moon Prince Page 301: So Much for the Summer Break!

Dear Readers:

Last week I announced that The Moon Prince would be going on summer break while I worked on some new ideas for other stories. But here we are with a new page after all (see below) -- one that looks really different from the previous 300! Here's why:

Last Saturday I sat down to look over all my notes for different stories I want to do. To my surprise, I realized I had hundreds and hundreds of pages worth of story ideas from just the last few years. Seeing this forced me to take a hard look at a subject comics artists are faced with constantly: time.

The Moon Prince has always been drawn in a fairly realistic “clear line” style, a bit like Tintin (in Europe it's called “ligne claire”). Drawing and coloring a page of The Moon Prince in this style takes about 25 hours of work from start to finish. Since I have almost a thousand pages to go (counting the sequels I've already plotted), this would make it impossible for me to work on all the other stories I want to do for at least the next twenty years!

So, rather than stop The Moon Prince (we're just getting to the best part!) I've decided to keep going, but with a different drawing style. It's a polished-up version of the rough drawings I made when I wrote the pages, so it's looser and more cartoony. I hope you like it and don't find it so different that you lose interest in the story. I greatly appreciate knowing that there are many readers who have been following The Moon Prince for years now, and I always love to hear from you! Thanks for reading!

Your pal,
Kevin

Belay That!

Dear Readers -

Just a note to let you know that I've decided not to take a summer break from The Moon Prince after all, so please disregard last Friday's message. I'll explain more this coming Friday when I post page 301!

Kevin

The Moon Prince Page 300: A Lot to Digest

Dear Readers:

Well, here we are at page 300 of The Moon Prince! Since it's a nice round number and the end of a chapter, I'm going to take a break for a few months to enjoy the summer weather and work on a couple of other story ideas I have floating around in my noggin. New pages will resume in September, but in the meantime I'm going to be posting some of my favorite pages as "summer re-runs," so please stick around - and thanks as always for reading!

Your pal,
Kevin
