Shadow Spider

Black and White Spread for 'Lily and the Shadow Spider'

This spread took me a while to get right, and even then I had to sleep on it. This is the first spread for one of the Lily Hope stories...and besides the top of Lily's head in the panels on the left side she cannot be seen. This was the thing I had to sleep on to decide whether it worked without her full apparition. But in the end I decided it was all about the shadow spider. 

This beautiful but scary spider is based on the black widow spider. I love this spider. I am, however, arachnophobic. I love the motif of the black widow and really wanted to play on the feel we have of spiders.
