For this month’s sculpting challenge, we’re excited to team up with XP-PEN to offer you an amazing opportunity to win part of over $1400 in prizes!

Our theme is “Sci-Fi Circus”, so we want to see some weird & wonderful creatures, characters and performers that you might find at an intergalactic menagerie.

How to enter: simply sculpt a character that you might find in a sci-fi circus, upload it to Sketchfab, and tag it #XPPENSculptChallenge.
