Abstract

The process of making a narrative of any form is complex and personal, and the only way to improve is to continue to create. There are many media through which a story can be told, and the internet provides opportunities for an artist or storyteller to present their work directly to their audience. I planned and executed a narrative through a webcomic format, hosting in online at http://mirror.the-comic.org. In the story a shadow descends upon a community, and the responsibility of finding and fixing the cause of the imbalance falls to a young woman named Nour. In addition to the story, I maintained a blog detailing the design and story decisions I made, as well as the psychological and cultural relevance of myth and narrative.
