#nullite chronicles

hi, i figured that it might be easier for people to be interested in my story by getting some visuals. i mean, after all, the story was originally conceived as a comic, though that's very unrealistic for me. anyways i've drawn chapter 1 and 2 of the first book so far

My personal project: Nullite Chronicles

Alright. Where do I start with this. Those who have known me for a while - long before I made a tumblr account - know that I've been working on a novel series on and off for several years. However, it's better to think of it as just a story that's primarily told in novel format for the sake of convenience.

For those not in the know, however, here's some essential information on the state of the project:

The general concept has been a thing since 2013, and while much of it has changed since then, there are still some core aspects that have remained.

The reason why the ideas changed drastically over time is because I have been, and still am, guilty of letting ideas stew in my head and never really write them down in tangible form. Even now, I procrastinate on writing a ton and so there's plenty of things at risk of growing beyond their intended purpose.

Regardless, the first entry of the series took me about 2.5 years to complete (on and off, as usual). Long ago, I wrote nearly 3/4 of an entire novel that had a vastly different story before abandoning it. Long before that, I tried making a graphic novel of that same story before realizing how time-consuming the process would be.

As expected for a story written in first-person and has existed (to me) for over 10 years, it has a lot of personal meaning to me, though I will admit that there are some aspects that are undoubtedly personal yet I don't fully understand how. Perhaps the process of continuing the story will help me find out.

Now on to the concrete details. What is this story actually about and where can one even read about it?

As you have read, the series is called Nullite Chronicles. Still a working title, but it's what I've got for now. A sci-fi/fantasy series that, in very short summary, is about a goddess that decides to fuck around and give a few modern day humans reality-bending powers to see what happens, just because. The story follows these humans and the things that happen because of them.

The first entry was titled Crisis Inheriting. It should be important to note that this story begins from the perspective of some (relatively) ordinary humans and builds off from there. The story begins when a mad scientist passes away, allowing his inventions and research to be stolen. His son organizes a team to reclaim the stolen items.

The second entry, currently in progress, is titled Chaos Two Fold, following two of the aforementioned empowered humans right after the events of Crisis Inheriting.

To see archived art I've made related to the series, check out the deviantart gallery here. I may or may not update it in the future, it's there for the sake of archiving older art.

To read Crisis Inheriting, well... it's just a pdf on Google Drive. I really don't know of a better place to host non-fanfic writing right now, so it will do.

Chaos Two Fold can be found here, I simply update the file each time I release a chapter. I'll also try to announce new content here so you'll see this link again

Honestly, the real reason I made this post was because I've recently finished some art related to the story but I'd much rather give context to everyone before I start launching my art into the void. It's been many months since I last worked on the actual writing, so only time will tell if I'll pick it back up again. Besides, I'm sure many artists know the pain of drawing their beloved OCs so much yet not having enough motivation to expand on their lore :) you know it's serious when i actually write with proper capitalization and punctuation lol

who the hell is this guy and why do i draw him a lot (well, a lot in general, not that much on this blog... not yet anyway)?

yes, of course it's related to my novel series, what else would it be lol. by the way, the above drawing was actually made 3 years ago, so it may not look as good as my more recent drawings.

meet torin, or as i like to sometimes call him, buff depressed gay boy. the story is about his horrific experiences in college that have nothing to do with academics. super strong but also super depressed, for reasons explained in the story.

he's existed in my head for as long as the story concept has existed, so well over a decade, to the point that his personality is essentially like mine but a bit more neurotic. i can't say whether he'll seem like a compelling character to anyone else, but in any case, this guy has a special place in my mind for reasons that only i would understand, i guess.

funny meme i made several months back. guy on the right is tariq, another major character in the story. i'll ramble about him some other time.

vaguely story-related art, made... in september of last year?? good god time is fake.

and finally, a set of doodles i made a few days ago

you can tell what game had been eating my brain recently, and who i chose to romance. but that's another post for another time. i hope you enjoyed my boy

some original work, as a little treat. made a sort of book cover for the first part of my novel series, which you can read about here if you're interested. speaking of which, i've recently revised it so the quality is a bit better so please read if you so desire

first drawing on this blog relating to my novel series - i've done other drawings long ago but those are on my deviantart. but anyways

a scene I drew from an upcoming chapter in chaos twofold. in fact, i literally have not written what this "chat" is even about. i'm actually not sure what it's going to consist of yet!
