Monthly dS Art Digest (April 2024, with a drawing challenge)

[mortmere]

This is going to be a loooong post. Again, this wouldn't have happened without the ds30below celebration! 

Draw Due South from Memory challenge:

Eaion created a fun challenge for everyone: draw due South characters from memory! The challenge template is available in eaion’s post below, if anyone still wants to try! There are no time limits, and post wherever you feel comfortable.

Then it's time to view the rest of the art from April, which is a lot (so many works that I should put the rest of this post under a cut, but I don't get the cut to work and I've had a very trying week and a half at work, so I'm not going to give myself a headache over that - sorry for a long post!).

30 Below afterword & navigation

[flownwrong]

Hi all!

So, we celebrated the anniversary of the pilot airing last week, and that means the main run of 30 Below is done. I want to thank you all for being so welcoming and excited about this event. It's been awesome celebrating with you <3

However, I will always feel the need to remind you it doesn't mean you can't keep doing things under the fest umbrella :) In fact, it would be awesome if you do.

Now, for those of you who aren't on tumblr much but want to catch up: making some masterlists would be a massive amount of work, but theoretically doable; however, it makes little sense to list individual post links, even sorted by themes, when there's a whole blog of tagged posts to explore.

So here's the navigation guide posted on tumblr itself. All the tag names in it are clickable, and there are search pointers at the end so you can see.

The list isn't comprehensive (e.g. there's one fanmix that didn't make the list in the post, as well as some characters and ships, and some c6d fandoms), so just try out other tags in the blog search (not general tumblr search)—it's the search bar at the top if you open blog in this view and the search icon to the left of "posts/likes/following" if you open this view. However, bear in mind that tumblr search is... imperfect, to put it mildly, so you might miss some entries. I am sorry about that, if I find a way around that, I'll update this post!

And of course, if you want to just dive right in and make sure you don't miss even one post, you can scroll through the whole blog as well! It's only 28 pages ;)
