Dungeon Drawing Delve

Dungeon Drawing Delve (previously known as Dungeon Drawing Dudes) is a yearly fantasy challenge put together by a few fantasy artists (@bodieh, @striffle, @gnobrin, and @redjarojam ) and their pals. It's a great way to experiment with character design and is something I actively look forward to every February.
