NIL TO NOWHERE

A graphic novel series inspired by the process of alter ego creation

 
 
  • Nil to Nowhere is a slice-of-life, graphic novel series comprising three short narratives, where the character designs and identities throughout the series are generated through a set of questions (Coined the M.A.D Method, A.K.A the Magical Alter-ego Diviser) that have been inspired by the process of alter-ego creation found in real life.

  • Nil, the space-grab taxi driver, and the main character throughout the three books, is my personal alter ego which I created using this method. He begins taking on the odd jobs of his passengers for extra cash, leading to misadventures, featuring the alter-egos, designed using a framework of questions inspired by alter-ego creation, in taxi trips across the galaxy.

  • This project aims to question the sequence in which we traditionally develop stories and challenge the stereotypical archetypes we encounter when designing and writing characters; exploring a quick and engaging alternative to character design & storytelling.

THE M.A.D METHOD

“Magical Alter-ego Diviser” / The guide to facilitate the character creations. Each question is inspired by aspects often present in the development of real-life alter egos and imaginary friends (in the case of young children during the early stages of development).
