Charrtober

Art challenge

What is Charrtober?

Charrtober was my yearly art challenge similar to Inktober. I tried to come up with one 3D scene for each day, based on my own prompts related to the charr—a race of fierce felines from the fantasy MMO Guild Wars 2.

You can find more art under the hashtag #charrtober on Instagram, Tumblr, and Twitter.
