Inktober began in 2009 as one artist (opens in new tab)’s attempt to improve his inking skills through a month of daily illustrations. Since then, it’s exploded into a worldwide phenomenon that’ll fill your Twitter feed with artistic greatness. Throughout October, you’ve got the perfect excuse to go combing through thousands of submissions, from professional and amateur artists alike, in search of sketch-style tributes to our favorite game characters. There’s a lot more to Inktober than fan art, of course, but it’s still a great way to get started appreciating your friendly neighborhood social media artist. What follows are some of the best Inktober pieces we’ve seen in the first half of the month; be sure to follow these artists to grace your timeline with even more of their amazing work!
