     Rachel Smyth is one of many Webtoon graphic comic creators who created the ongoing series 'Lore Olympus'. It is a graphic comic about the mythology of Persephone and Hades. Although it is a dramatized series with lots of it's own story, the graphic comic includes lots of Greek origin such as their language, artworks, sculptures and historic monuments. Rachel Smyth created Lore Olympus in March of 2018, and started off with just the idea the previous year. She began making the drawings and designs on paper as well as the inking then continued her work onto her computer where she used Photoshop and her Wacom cintiq Pro drawing tablet. There she was able to use a stylus to draw the bast of these characters, then color them and then use photoshop to create her stunning backgrounds and help size her characters into an online strip for viewers to scroll and admire her mesmerizing artwork and story line. From her instagram full of basic sketches and thought processes to WEBTOON with full comics with edited backgrounds and beautifully digitally made characters, this creator has invested so much effort into what she loves and is continuing to digitally advance her story to the next level.
