Fukuran - Blog Posts
My (extremely late) Fukuran February submissions - Day 1
(Man I must be a nightmare for @fukuranweek because I'm posting everything I've got for Fukuran February the entire month late qwq I am so sorry. things didn't exactly go to plan. can I still tag it as Fukuran February? ._.,,,)
So, Day 1 - I did Magic AU because I felt that it would be the easiest to start with ((and boy was i wrong lmao)) (the other days were easier for me though, thankfully). I couldn't settle on anything except the basic idea so here's 3 different things I did for it. I'm still not 100% happy with them but oh well.
I did all of my Fukuran February art traditionally (though I do have two digital ones that I might post, depending on how much I hate them vs the traditional ones at the moment of posting). My sketches are very messy in general. This one's a compilation of ideas I got while thinking about the prompts, presented as little comics and scenes. I do try to clean my drawings up in the other Days. Oh and they were all scanned.
It's all cat Ranpo
(might've edited the images a bit to move the panels around so the panel order makes a little more sense)
(so I mention bakeneko Ranpo in two of these - that was before I saw the Mythical Creatures AU prompt lol. but i mean... he is magic... yeah this won't be the first time I question if I understood the prompt ._.)
And Fukuzawa's just some normal cat-loving dude he latches onto
I love the thought of Master Natsume and Cat!Ranpo having a dynamic. might dwell on that more
My later sketches, I think, get a little better because I felt like I was actively improving throughout the month, drawing almost every day, and the same goes for how I 'write' fukuran in the sketches, but eh idk. I've never shared my art with anyone
Should I be rambling about my ideas/thoughts related to the art in these posts? idk if that's annoying. :/ I'm going to keep doing that
Oh and maybe I shouldn't spam post all the drawings, maybe I should put them all in one post but I don't know if I'm supposed to- apologies in advance for the spam ig
Ok I've never done this before so question
I want to participate in the FukuRan February prompt challenge thing (I've never posted art online before so I'd be super excited for that even if my art turns out to be kinda-eh/bad or something) but I'm not 100% sure how things work around here because I lack experience with interacting with a fandom (or just posting in general), even after reading the rules. Do I just post whatever I draw for the prompts on each day for a month straight here, freedom to post late aside? Because that's what I'm getting and what I want to do if I can
And I just tag and @ them on all the works I post ('pinging' on Tumblr means @-ing someone, right?) Can I participate like a year after they posted the prompt calendar thing? Was it implied to be a 2024-specific thing? Should I not tag them, then? Nor put the fukuranweek tag in my posts? (In which case sorry for this post lol I can delete it if you want but I would like some answers please.) I wanna post anyway, it's just the details that escape me.
Oh and I think traditional art is allowed but jic, I'm asking if there's any expectations or standards when it comes to the art's quality or format, again, I've never done an art/fandom challenge before
I tried to look up the answers for some of these questions but it's still unclear to me, that's why I'm asking like this.
Should... should I just be asking them directly instead of posting in the tag and hoping someone who follows it sees it and tells me? I'm so lost on the etiquette -_-,,
