You know, it’s just been one of the best years of my life working with them this year.” While illustrating Lore Olympus, Rachel Smythe intentionally relies on colour and lighting to create atmosphere. She has been grateful for her experience with Webtoons saying in 2019, “as an artist really look out for you, and I can say they are such a great company to work with. She has explained that the built-in audience on Webtoons “helped a lot” when it came to building a fan following of her work. Interest in her projects has fluctuated since she started posting art online, and Rachel has said that there was so little interest “at the start of 2017, I could not pay people to look at my artwork.” Launched in 2018, Lore Olympus has been Rachel’s most popular project to date, with over 4.8 million regular readers worldwide. She graduated from Whangunui School of Design (Whangunui, NZ) with a Bachelor’s degree of Computer Graphics and Design (2005-2007). Rachel Smythe has been producing artwork and posting it online since roughly 2004.
