So. I have done terrible on Bandtober because I haven't posted anything in like mORE THAN A WEEK, but I'm finally going to finish-- which means I will officially be done with Bandtober after this! Thank you COSMICTIDES for this amazing challenge, it helped me learn more about my characters and it was sooo fun to come up with different outfits and draw them in different ways, even though I've missed some days, I usually do just lineart or flat color, and I don't usually post them on time! I'm going to miss doing this challenge, it was so much fun <3
Anyway! Without further ado, here's Day 23! (AAAHHHH I'VE MISSED SO MANY DAYS)
As I’ve mentioned before, the conflict with Oro and Shiro is the biggest ‘crying’ moment of their first band story, so here’s the scene where they make up:
Oro: Shiro . . .
Shiro: Wh-what . . .?
Oro: I . . . I just wanted to say something really quick and I want you to listen, alright?
Shiro: Uh, alright. I’m listening.
Oro: I know I’ve been a complete jerk and you have every reason in the world to hate me.
Shiro: Yeah . . .
Oro: But the thing is, I’ve changed. And I’ve been trying to tell you for the longest time, but you’ll never listen. But . . . just hear me out. Please.
Shiro: . . .!
Oro: I-I never wanted to say those things. Those girls that I chose to be friends with-- and I shouldn’t have-- they . . . they pressured me to say that to you, and I felt terrible afterwards!
Shiro: . . .!!
Oro: I’m so sorry. I’ve been trying to make up for so long, but you’ve probably been afraid that I’ll hurt you again . . . you have every reason to, like I said earlier, and you don’t have to forgive me. You don’t-- you don’t have to make up with me and be friends again, and that’s . . . that’s okay with me.
Oro: But . . . I just want you to know that all of this time, I’ve been sorry. I just want you to know the truth . . . and now it’s been said.
Oro: Oh . . . and I have this.
(She holds up the necklace.)
Oro: I’ve kept it . . . hoping you’d want to be friends again.
Oro: Yeah. Um. Okay. I guess I’ll-- I guess I’ll just be going now, then.
Shiro: Wait!!
Oro: Eh--?!
Shiro: Oro-chan . . . I knew! I didn’t, actually, but I just had this nagging feeling that maybe something about you had changed, and I kept the necklace, although I don't know where it is now because I hid it, and I-- I-- Oro-chan~!!
Oro: Shiro-chan . . . Waaaahhh~!
Shiro: Fufu . . . (sniff) . . . here we are, crying like babies . . . like we did that one time, when our sandcastle washed away . . .
Oro: Fufu . . . ahaha!
Shiro and Oro: Ahaha~!
Day 24: MMO/Fantasy Gacha
This one was really fun even though I just tweaked Sayo's first NFO outfit! I love drawing Ichika with different hairstyles, even though I didn't shade this sdfghjkl (although that's really irrelevant isn't it)
Day 25: Ohmori-style Visual
I wanted to draw all of them but as always I didn't have the time, but this was so flipping fun!! It's probably one of my favorite challenges out of the whole month, it was a not-too-challenging but new and fun thing to draw and I'm super happy with how Pico Kona turned out!
Day 26: With Canon Characters
I was going to draw something for this one but something came up (yes, I sound like a failure, something's always 'coming up' or I 'don't have the time', but it's true hhhh), so here's a bit of writing! (And when I say 'a bit', I mean really small, because it's 10:30 pm and I should be in bed.) This is from before BonTekuno got formed! Sorry if I went a bit OOC with Hina, I haven't really payed too much attention to her convos and stories and such because I don't really care for her as a character.
Hina: Chika-chan! What brings you here on this boppin’ day?
Ichika: Nothing much, just that I got invited to join a band!
Hina: Aaah! Wow! What’s it called? Who invited you? You’re gonna play your zappin’ drums, right?
Ichika: I don’t know what it’s called yet, but this cool girl, Nigira-senpai, invited me! And what else would I play, silly? All I’ve ever done is drums, drums, drums!
Hina: I know, but I was thinking maybe you’d picked up guitar or something?
Ichika: If I had picked up guitar, wouldn’t I have told you? But anyway-- isn’t that so cool?!?
Hina: Hehe, I love that little happy dance you do!
Ichika: Yep~, 100% Ichika!
Day 28: Wedding Gacha
Yep, I skipped Day 27 haha
WHERE ARE HER LEGS????? I THINK I FORGOT THEM?????
This was,,,, so ruffley,,,,, but I had a lot of fun drawing it! I don't remember why I didn't color it though haha? I love her hairstyle though so I'll definitely draw this one again sometime.
Day 29: Hatsune Miku Collab
Yay lineart again haha
I picked SPiCA as their song because it really seemed to suit BonTekuno's vibe!
Day 31: Halloween Gacha
FINAL DAY!!! Yes, I skipped Day 30, but I have my reasons ^^;
I'm super happy with how this turned out even though I only used flat color since today was really busy being Halloween and all! I love designing outfits and, as I've mentioned before, I just love Halloweeny stuff.
Alright! I'm officially done with Bandtober! I'm actually probably going to do this again in a few months (it will defeat the purpose of BandTOBER, but who cares lol) for my new band I mentioned before, which is still in progress! I will give you the name though: Sweet☆dreamS! Thank you again, Toony, for the amazing challenge! <3

Ciao a tutti! With the end almost upon us, we talk about the design of their costume when they go on stage, obviously all done by the hand of Lucia being the stylist of the group.
Bandtober : Day 30 (Costume Designing)
Each of them has an accessory that recalls the color of the band, apart from the boot laces, together with the basic one of the members themselves in the various clothing items. Mainly the colors used are white and black, used to symbolize the concept of Yin and Yang a matter that Honami and Lucia particularly love to take when in company. As for the dress models, the three most feminine girls in the group opted for skirts (Oriko has a pair of cat ears because she wants everyone to notice her most), while the others opted for shorts and a more masculine look (the prime example is Mirai).
With this I would say that I have concluded and greet you until tomorrow, a great day that must be marked, so I wish you a good continuation. Saluti!

Ciao a tutti! As promised here I'm making up with my girls who couldn't wait to be put in the limelight again, let's start then!
Bandtober : Day 1 (Introduction/Key Visual Girls censured)
TIERGEIST is an all-female group, which is a mix of electronic and traditional Japanese dance as a musical genre (just like the style of this artist ). United by chance by fate and a series of circumstances that made them grow emotionally, thus overcoming their limits, and now I present them to you. Stay tuned! Saluti.

Ciao a tutti! I returned to the office with another sequence of days that I miss, during the day I should be able to get to today's day, so stop talking and let's start!
Bandtober : Day 7 (Casual Outfit)
Summer has arrived! One hot day follows another and eventually time passes quickly when the summer holidays arrive. Among the TIERGEIST, who have more or less simple and feasible tastes, the two cousins are rather strange girls. Apart from Ayaka who also wears light pantyhose no matter how hot it can feel, but she is too ashamed about her legs, Honami instead is a different case, she likes to stand out and I really think she did it with this style.
Winter is almost upon us too, so it seems to me that the girls also dress appropriately, and here they all seem to be fairly balanced. The only thing that makes me laugh is that putting Lucia in the middle of Honami and Mirai makes her even shorter than she really is. If anyone wonders about the colored shadows on their feet, they are the attribute they belong to: so Ayaka and Lucia are of the PURE type, Honami of the COOL one, Mirai of the POWER one while Oriko of the HAPPY one.
And with this I would say that I have concluded with this post, in a few hours I will also publish the rest, so stay tuned. Love & Peace. Saluti!

And with this post, I finally got on par with the days of the challenge, having said that for tonight I greet you with the presentation of another all-female fanband.
Bandtober : Day 15 (Rival)
[left to right: Tsukumo Ayako (Gt.) Toyohime Wakana (Key.) Yagokoro Emi (Vo./Ba.) Murasa Otsune (DJ) Mizuhashi Junko (Dr.)]
They have taken the world by the horns with their heavy metal style music: these are the "Gensō-teki", five girls belonging to a prestigious school, the Zakuro Private High School. Inspired by the old and famous Hope's Peak Academy, this facility have many talented young girls in all walks of life.
The leader of the band, Emi, is an Idol who caused a sensation after a scandal that saw her as the protagonist during a clash between bassists, indeed remaining in the charts for a long time thanks to it.
Ayako has been a guitarist since before joining the group, always on the metal genre, such as to consider herself an absolute teacher since she started middle school, after 6 years she reached the highest peaks and the best techniques to play the guitar in a way that now only she can do.
Junko was recently accepted to this private school together with her twin Ginko, but both are the opposite of the other: one loves calm and flowers are her passion, so much so that it is known as the Floral Encycopledy, the other is the chaotic noise, so much so that other people call her Hannya given her ardent desire to be heard anytime and anywhere.
Wakana is an old acquaintance of Arisa, also quite similar to her, as they both attended the conservatory, but Wakana being one year younger than her, she took another path and focused only on herself; her first year was difficult, but she was recognized as the most gifted pianist in the region, leading her to experiment with new genres.
In the end we have Otsune, a DJ who spends sleepless nights in every possible disco, there is no place she hasn't visited or song she hasn't remixed, outside school she always has a pair of headphones on her ears with mashups that she creates herself and which she will then use with her own band.
They met the TIERGEIST during a benefit concert, immediately antagonizing them as they could not allow that group to be better than them in terms of sound, even if Mirai and Junko get along quite well with each other, hatred instead flows between Emi and Oriko it is clear that they cannot even see each other.

Ciao a tutti! We are almost at the end of this magical tour to get to know my fanband. Today I will publish two days (27 & 29), leaving aside the one yesterday that to create or edit girls in wedding dresses would have been hellish, so I decided that I will skip it directly. So saying goodbye first, due to fatigue, I wish you a good continuation. Saluti!
Bandtober : Day 27 (Holiday)
Christmas are coming (more or less), so it seemed a rather sensible thing to have them dress in such a way as to reflect the soul of this holiday. Lucia would be the most enthusiastic to be able to spend Christmas with all of them, they would probably exchange gifts among themselves randomly drawn. Oriko instead would stay all day with Mirai to take selfies and post them immediately on social networks to show her followers how adorable and cute she is with the reindeer costume (strictly handmade by Lucia). Honami would instead give support and encouraging her cousin Ayaka, who may have the courage to give the gift to her beloved idol, hoping that a white Christmas can make everything more romantic.
Bandtober : Day 29 (Hatsune Miku collab)
And now we talk about a collaboration that has a fixed appointment with the world of Bang Dream, the one with Vocaloid, precisely with the legendary Hatsune Miku. Perhaps many will have understood the song that I would have chosen for this particular event, one of the most iconic in my opinion: Magnet already mentioned several times in the past having been "sung" by Honami and Lucia, although perhaps for the theme it deals with it would definitely be a text that Ayaka should have used, so here is the reason for my choice to use her with Miku (besides the fact that I had no idea how to handle me with the other TIERGEIST).
Alisa_Sato
Ciao a tutti! We have reached the end of this month full of commitments, I hope that thanks to these days dedicated to your own fanband, you have enjoyed the TIERGEIST in all their "ghostly" splendor. I would say that we can start with their entry on the scene (I specify only that each of them has taken their own youkai to which their nicknames are inspired).
Bandtober : Day 31 (Halloween Gacha)
Starting from Ayaka we can say that, as already mentioned in the past, her character (if we want to say so) is inspired by the Tanuki. So I got carried away and I wanted to use a long version of Qipao because it gives her a more mature aura, without considering that the fan is an almost necessary accessory to hide her "ambiguous" nature.
Then we have her cousin Honami who, crafty as she is, could only have Kitsune as a spirit. I made it more like a warrior fox, a Shinovi maybe with a katana (without wire of course, otherwise she couldn't carry it around) while in the distance you can hear Eve's Bushido! yelling at her. Honami has this "pissed-off" air because she feels very tense and perceives other people's curious looks, but in the end she enjoys herself and lets the matter go.
Lucia really gave the best of herself with this crow costume, or rather from Tengu, wanting to unleash all her glory and skill in creating. She has this predatory air that patiently waits for the next victim, a petite girl who shows her captivating potential, so much so that she has even drawn that charismatic mole under her left eye.
What could I say about Mirai? As far as her divine animal is the Inugami, mainly she behaves like a dog, also for this reason she often quarrels with Oriko for their character which in many cases reflects the fact that there is no harmony between dog and cat. Her dress is quite simple I would say, indeed we could say almost nil, but I wanted to emphasize the thing that poses as a canid (in this case from the "ball" factor).
And we conclude with the diva Oriko and her coveted Nekomata form. This very nervous kitten was created with the thought that she wanted to attract the attention of others, especially in her social, by giving her this mixed version of Qipao with a Kimono (I suck at describing sometimes, I'm aware of it, so I apologize) with a pair of paws and claws ready to be used.
Thank you all for following us up to here, it was a nice experiment that gave me the right push to dedicate a lot more time to my girls, given the period I was going through. I hope to be more active soon and that the general situation in the world can improve a little; and with this wish I greet you with affection and wish you all a good continuation. Saluti!
