#trainer Jaylee

It's been three years since I revealed Pokémon Kaleidoscope and I'm happy to announce that I've finished writing the detailed outline of Part I, so the webcomic will be launching JULY 6TH of this year at 9 pm UTC +3! Updates will be full chapters every two months and about 16 pages.

Lona region is known for its Relay League that revolves around team-based Pokémon battles. This is a story of joys, hardships, dangers and teamplay as Jaylee and her new friends Aven, Kitt and Zue try reaching towards their goal of becoming the Champion Four of the Lona region.

Platforms will be Webtoon, tumblr and a comicfury hosted website, and I'll also post updates with links on twitter. There's not gonna be a fast pass or other paid early updates, Pokémon Kaleidoscope fan comic will always be free to read online for everyone at the same time.

“You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you!”

FINALLY finished this picture of Rei Zerou’s Pokémon OCs: Aven and Jaylee

I’d almost finished this months ago when I first started before not saving and losing everything like a FOOL. FINALLY I was able to motivate myself to finish it again.

Anyway, they’re very cute and you should check them out

Hey guys I just came back from a vacation. A very special vacation because I took a trip to... Long Island! Aka the area that I'm basing Lona region on. It was so much fun and I'm sooo inspired now. So take this doodle dump from when I was waiting to get to the airport on the last day and was too tired to sightsee anymore so I just sat at a park haha.

Jaylee doodle!

I usually don't do redraws because I'm often still fond of my old art. And somehow when I try, I can't capture the charm of the original. But this. I was going through my old art and I was just like. I could do this better now. For sure. I also wasn't even so inside the characters at that point that they really lacked something inside. And to be fair this was one of my first CSP illustrations and I had been sketching digitally for just a few months in the first place. But wow! I don't think I mentioned it, but a year ago I got a new drawing tablet (XP Pen Deco LW) for Christmas and it's been a HUGE game changer. Who would have thought that a literally 15 year old drawing tablet really was holding me back all this time. And also found my fav CSP brush: I really love design pencil!

And here are the full pieces:

Drew this originally in October 2021.

It’s now February 2nd 2023, which means that I officially revealed my fan project Pokémon Kaleidoscope exactly two years ago. Here’s a group pic to celebrate the occasion, as well as finally some info on what will happen next in the project and how things are progressing.

The most important thing first:

POKÉMON KALEIDOSCOPE THE WEBCOMIC IS STARTING NEXT YEAR, 2024!

Or at least I hope so! Things are subject to change of course since I still have a lot of prep work to be done, but that’s the goal right now.

If you’re only now hearing about this project, check out the tag #Pokemon Kaleidoscope on my blog.

Rest of the info is under read more so that this won’t get too long fjjfjdf.

Continues here...

I did try to keep it compact. Kinda failed. But I decided to try to do it anyway. It might take a while but I can do it. *Deep breath*

Rough outline was finished last summer. Detailed outline is 54 % done. I’ve completed writing the beginning into about 11 % of the planned length of the story, as well as the last 18 %. (Or completed as much as needed for now, I mostly come up with exact dialogue in the storyboarding stage) Then there are some complete parts in the middle. But overall, I’ve planned what goal every scene has but there are still a lot of scenes that I’m not sure how I should go about.

I also decided to split the comic into two equally sized parts and I’m focusing on writing and making part 1 first. So there’s going to likely be a break between the parts. Kinda like a break between tv seasons.

I’ve also storyboarded about 7 % into the planned length of part 1, and I have some sketched or ready pages that are not all part of the storyboards bringing the total amount of planned or ready content to 13 % into part 1. I’m planning on at least making as many storyboards first as possible even if I finish writing before next year, because those take very little time but once I have them it should be much easier to update the comic regularly.

That’s all for now! I hope you will follow Jaylee, Aven, Kitt and Zue’s journey through the Lona region once it actually starts! ^__^

I'm challenging you to a Pokémon batt- I mean! To do the #PokeOCtober drawtober with your Pokémon OC(s) this upcoming October! There's daily and weekly prompts, but you can do however many you like!

PokéOCtober Day 31: Halloween

I’m doing better now finally, but it’s still a shame I couldn’t participate more this month. But here’s a smashing end to PokéOCtober with witch Jaylee! And thank you so much everyone who participated, whether you did just one day or the whole month!

PokéOCtober Day 02: Partner

I finally decided on a nickname for Jaylee's Cubchoo. He's called Bebo!

Happy birthday, my Pokémon OC Jaylee! One year ago on this day her design process hit a point where I could say "This is Jaylee", marking December 15th her birthday.

Color of dim light studies feat. Jaylee. I can’t really find tutorials on how to translate specific colors in different lighting so these involved a loooot of experimenting and fidgeting around. Color of light is a huge factor in the mood of art and that’s an area that I would love to incorporate into my art.

PokéOCtober Day 08: Route

They're definitely not lost. At least according to Jaylee. She and Aven are actually both pretty decent at reading a map, but if a mistake does happen... Well, it's gonna take a while to convince Jaylee.

PokéOCtober Day 10: Battle

I dream about making a comic with Pokémon Kaleidoscope, but it’d probably have to be this rough if I ever wanted to finish it. Even this page from start to finish took me about four or five hours.
