I'm gonna start Bandtober now.

I'm gonna do this for both my fanbands.

Day 1: Introduction/Key Visual

Distant笑顔 (Distant Egao) (short form: DisuEga)

Distant笑顔 is a band of childhood friends, formed by Satou Ichika in order to restore their lost smiles from their childhood. Although Ichika is the one that formed the band, Haruki is considered the leader by the members of the band because of her charisma and extroverted personality.

The band's name represents their lost smiles: "Distant" and the Japanese word for "smile(s)."

The members are Satou Ichika (Gt. & Vo.) (It's a complete coincidence that I made her have the same last name as Masuki: Satou), Tanaka Amy (Gt.), Yuza Ichigo (Ba.), Iwata Mizuki (Dr.), and Itou Haruki (Key.).

Sweet🌸Casts (short form: Sweets)

(Trigger warning: Bullying mention) Sweet🌸Casts is a band of outcasts, discriminated against by other students for various reasons. Rhea for being a foreigner, Natsuko for being a trans girl, Suzume for having weird hair styles, Manami for having social anxiety, and Kame for just having a weird personality.

The band's name is a combination of the word "Sweet" and "Outcasts."

Edit: I forgot the members. The members are Mikami Rhea (Key. & Vo.), Yamaoka Natsuko (Gt. & Vo.), Asano Suzume (Ba.), Okazaki Manami (Dr.), and Shirou Kame (Tr. & Vo.).

I wanna try drawing a bandori character but I have no inspiration, so someone, give me ideas! (also here's a little drawing of Tamaki even though its not the best thing.)

Alright everyone! For Day 1 of Bandtober, I am proud to present BonTekuno!!

This is the most time I’ve ever spent on one drawing before . . . gosh . . . (Anyways it was totally worth it, especially because I tried to use Bandori’s style and it suits them way better than my style does!)

Now for the band’s introduction:

BonTekuno is a techno band with a goal of showing the world that truly anyone can make music-- after all, their band is made out of Haneoka’s former bully, a homeschooled chef, an “eco-friendly weirdo,” a chosen-to-be loner who thinks everybody is her senpai, and a geeky programmer.

And now the characters from left to right because I forgot to make little introduction things below them:

Ichika Wakara (Dr.) - Kona Sakuri (Ba.) - Oro Kimine (Vo.) - Nigira Okaa (Gt.) - Shiro Ayoni (DJ)

Anyway, that’s it for today! I’m super excited to keep working on this challenge, and I’ll see y’all tomorrow!

Edit: I forgot to mention why they’re called BonTekuno! Here it is from the document:

The original name of the band in their story was DJam, because their music is techno and so it was mostly revolving around Shiro. They got lots of feedback on this, mostly negative, because people believed that Shiro shouldn’t get all the attention and also because they thought that it wasn’t catchy and unique enough.

But then, after the first time they performed in the BonTraveler restaurant (Nigira's family's restaurant), Nigira had no words as to how amazing their performance sounded, and she could only get out, “Bon. Bon techno!” And that’s when they decided to name the band BonTekuno (Bon is “good” in French, and Tekuno is “techno” in Japanese.)

Edit edit: Forgot to mention that Nigira is French-Japanese and that's why she was speaking in French lmao

Once again, 1st October marks the start of Garupa's Halloween festivities! So, everyone's new Halloween lines! My treat!

Misaki's image is listed as IMG_4444 on my phone. It still surprises me whenever I think about how I've been doing this for over a year. I change, environments change but the core stays, and I'm not stopping anytime soon! See you next time in December with both Winter and Christmas!
