If anyone would be willing to model for a series of sketches, please feel free to contact me. You will be paid for your efforts, I assure you. And I will attach a few of my drawings, if you would like an idea of my work.

[Wow, those sure are three sketches of Fitzroy Maplecourt! The lines are clear and crisp, as he goes about stretches before practicing some acrobatics. There's a few pokemon in the margins, of course, but it's clear where Leonardo's focus lies, and it's definitely on the curves of muscle on display.]

Oh great! Do you think I could have some of the sketches for my gym? I'll pay you for them, of course. But the lobby could definitely do with some more art.

[It's good to support small, indie artists, right?]

[neverfinishanyth]

Of course! Though it may be somewhat challenging to prevent the drawings from taking damage from all the water in the air.

[schachmeister]

That's why I suggested my gym, actually. I think you'll find the view more than satisfactory for sketching water pokemon without getting your paper wet.

[Armin attaches a picture taken from the battle arena area of the gym. The view is that of a large glass window that protrudes slightly out into the bay, giving a wonderful view of the clear, blue Sevii sea and the pokemon swimming in it. From underneath the surface.]

Oh, that will do quite nicely! I'm amazed at how you've managed to find windows strong enough to withstand the pressure of the waves.

[schachmeister]

It was inspired by something out of one of my favourite books. I'm just lucky that the team that builds gyms really enjoys a challenge.

They used the same sort of glass to build the aquarium inside my gym too.

I will have to keep this team in mind, should I have need of a gym in the future.

[schachmeister]

The league will put you in contact with them. They do all the design and building work for all the new gyms.

[neverfinishanyth]

Fascinating! Do they take on other work as well?

[schachmeister]

I... have no idea. I guess you'd have to ask. I assume the League will have a way of contacting them.

[neverfinishanyth]

In any case, contacting these architects can wait for the time being.
