Just six days left until the Pokémon Kaleidoscope fan webcomic begins on June 29th at 9 P.M. UTC +3!
This is gonna be the thumbnail on the ComicFury website (which is now ready btw! but not live yet!) and on WEBTOON. I wanted a thumbnail that's a little easier on the eyes and I've been experimenting more with different lightings digitally, so I wanted to try an art like this.
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.
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! ^__^
Remember when I said like... a YEAR ago that there’s going to be four main characters in my project Pokémon Kaleidoscope? Well, things have been going a little slower than I anticipated, but finally, here’s the third character: Kitt! Short from... some name.
Kitt is also a Pokémon Trainer from the Lona region and a friend of Jaylee and Aven. As a character he is hardworking and cracks jokes a lot, but will also steal your food when you’re not looking. He wears his headband around his neck because otherwise it will “mash his brain”. Fingerguns. A lot.
I actually designed the last character before Kitt, but I really didn’t want to introduce Kitt last since the last character is probably a bit more interesting than him, at least for now ^_^’ But we will find out more about Kitt in the future. And the last character will be introduced soon for reals this time. The design is finalized and I’m like, only missing the main profile.
What, already? It hasn’t been very long since I introduced him. The truth is, Kitt was in design hell for a really long time only because I just couldn’t settle on a name for him haha. But I count the day the face and hair of the characters were finalized as their birthday to make it universal for everyone.
