The Meek is a fantasy webcomic written and illustrated by Der-Shing Helmer since 2008. Taking place in a fantasy universe, The Meek focuses on the protagonist Angora, a young girl with a magical ability to control plants, as she is trying to reach a place she refers to as "the center". However, The Meek follows multiple narratives with several different characters from across the world. Each chapter exclusively follows one of these separate narratives.

Development
Der-Shing Helmer is a trained biologist and educator, writing The Meek in her spare time. In a 2009 interview, Helmer stated she draws inspiration from biology when designing the world of The Meek. Helmer created the first draft of her webcomic entirely with a mechanical pencil and marker, but quickly switched to Photoshop CS2 for the final version. She uses a Wacom Intuos tablet to create the comic, and her creation process has become more streamlined since she built a template for her pages.
