The art website is out!
(You can open images in a new tab to see them in higher quality)
The website contains art of Joe's Pokémon, and it has character art.
It has PokeDex entries and simple character profiles.
I plan to add more pages over time. Map, Timeline, Collectibles. There's a lot I can do.
If there is any information you want added, let me know.
For characters, I'm thinking three sizes. There are other bits planned, maybe like Title. Other additions would be spoilers.
For Pokemon, I'm thinking a few things. A story summary once their story is complete (because every one of Joe's Pokemon will have a story). Chapter 17 goes more into fighting styles of each member of the team, so I'll add that. If there are unique identifiers, like a Pokemon has a clothing item, or a held item, or maybe a scar, I'll add that too.
Right now, only Joe and Melony have profiles on the website. This is because I got art of them. As mentioned elsewhere, original characters or changes to existing characters will receive art.
I can add character profiles like Jasmine and Amelia if people are okay with no art. Besides, if I have the spare money, I will commission art of characters regardless of whether they're different from the games. It would be nice to have everyone drawn by the same artist, all together on the website.
I will do my best to plan ahead and have art ready for chapter releases. So if Joe catches a Pokémon in chapter 30, you can immediately visit the website and see the new art.
Same thing for characters. If I introduce, I don't know, an adult Poppy. She should have art on the website the same time the chapter releases.
Finally, insert art. Chapters with insert art will have author's notes mentioning it. The first insert will be around Chapter 20.
I'm not sure how many people I'll listen to, but I do have a proposition. If readers like particular scenes, I am willing to commission insert art of the scene. But keep in mind, the artist can draw people but I want the insert art to primarily focus on the Pokémon. So if you want Joe vs Caveman, that's a maybe. But if you want Sprigatito in the alley of Chapter 1, then sure. If you want a mix, like Ralts hugging Joe's head from chapter 14, I'll definitely consider that style.
As you can see, there's going to be .epub downloads for each book. You can eventually have an offline version that you can get through on your own terms. I will make it as clear as possible when one book ends and another begins.
That's all. There's not much there now, but I hope you like the art. Especially Melony. ;)
