Bold ink-and-paint comic illustration: confident black contour lines of varying weight, cel-shaded painterly shading in richly saturated colour, glossy highlights on hair and eyes. Faces are elegantly rendered with large expressive eyes, defined lashes and brows and strong jawlines; hair drawn as flowing stylized masses. Dramatic close-up framing with a vintage printed-cover feel, textured paper and a slightly grainy ink texture; palette, light and setting follow the scene. A man and a woman in dark coats climb a cobbled graveyard path at night and look back over their shoulders: the man with curly dark hair and a beard holds a thick old book under his arm, the woman with long curly dark hair holds a glowing lantern, and a black cat walks ahead of them toward a fog wrapped crypt gate under a huge moon, with tombstones, ivy and bare trees along the path. Palette of deep teal fog, lantern orange and bone white. Tall 9:16 frame. No text, letters or numbers anywhere.
