OC-tober prompts

Greetings PaperDemons. October is here and this month we're participating in OC-tober. "OC" stands for "Original Character" and is the perfect challenge for our community since so many of us here like to draw our own original characters.

Participation in our Art RPG is not required to participate in this challenge. This is a stand alone challenge. Drawing your original character that you registered for the PaperDemon Art RPG is highly encouraged but you may use any of your original characters.

How to participate

  1. For each day of the month of October[1], create a work of art of your original characters using the prompt for that day. It can be as simple as a sketch. It does not need to be a finished piece.

  2. Submit your artwork by December 1st, 2020[2] and tag it with oc-tober.

  3. Put the prompt as the title of the artwork or in the description.

  4. At the end of the month, visit the portal and collect your XP. You'll earn 40 XP for each entry.

[1] We know drawing every day is too much for most people so feel free to adapt this challenge to something more realistic for you such as every other day or every week.

[2] We're expecting this challenge to be more popular so we're extending the deadline to give you two full months.

If you want to do more finished works, you can submit your art in stages and tag each stage (e.g. sketch, lineart, color) and get XP for each stage.
