And I really like the idea being "Shadowboxing" or "Boxing the Shadows" or however it should be varied; the impossibility of containing a shadow in a box speaks well to the futility of the endeavor (or, conversely, to the destructive nature of such an endeavor should it be successful).<BR/><BR/>As for Adam's suggestions, I like "Shadow Play" best, but I think the stakes are a little too high and the outcomes too grim: Arntham gets killed not once but TWICE in a ten-page story!

Could something be done with the phrase "shadow boxing"? <BR/>Boxing (with) the shadows<BR/>Boxing in the shadows<BR/><BR/>The title doesn't sound very poetic, but I like the double meaning that boxing could have. Not only are Stepan and Arntham (and Ipthorin?) fighting the shadows, but they are trying to box them in, onto a map, into a fixed space. It also kind of hints at how you use the space on your page, sometimes staying within the squares and other times going literally outside the box.Shirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16277094509138991873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290662109425559453.post-89878176931449403592007-12-10T05:46:00.000-05:002007-12-10T05:46:00.000-05:00Elfworld is becoming my daily distraction!

Every time I look at these pages I notice more and more details and different ways the pages fit together. For instance, there is Arntham's head centered on at least two pages. It also seems to me that Stepan actually looks younger at the end than when he first appears on page 2.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I haven't had any real inspiration for the title, but here are a few more possibilities to add to the list. They're really just variations on what you've already thought of, and perhaps they're on your list, too.<BR/><BR/>Into the Shadows and Back<BR/>Mapping the Shadows<BR/>An impossible map<BR/>Stepan and the impossible map<BR/>A shadowy tale<BR/>Growing in the shadowsShirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16277094509138991873noreply@blogger.com
