Clipping Mask

Look, it's page nine. And, it's a silent panel. I worry that I rely too much on dialogue, so I like when I can work silent panels in.

Plus, this one was had a difficulty level to it. Trying to get Mark's hands to make the shape of a mask, given how cartoony his hands and face proportions are, took some work. I even played fast and loose with the shadows. Technically, Mark's eyes should be in shadow too, but they're not, since I wanted the contrast between his hands and eyes to make things clearer to read.

I knocked it out quickly for the cover, but I do really like Abby's superhero outfit. I feels like a retro-Lois Lane-gets super powers outfit, which works well for this storyline.
