Within a Shell

This story revolves around dolls, in particular a doll named Azrael. The dolls are fragments of the Goddess of Death tasked with keeping balance, while the God of life has gone into a mortal pilgrimage.

The main goal of this graphic novel is to explore existential and religious concepts, including the balance between dualities. The main character is fragmented: locked from accessing her full soul. Eventually, she begins to unlock herself in unexpected ways, leading to a desperate struggle for control over herself.

All of these themes will be displayed along with action, as fighting is an important aspect that not only showcases aspects of balance (or lack thereof) but also serve as entertainment to the viewers.

In making this project, I challenged myself to achieve a high page-count (150+). After I finish this project, I plan on monetizing it through online graphic novel platforms, as well as making prints for friends and family.
