I made myself an oc-tober list ✨ not even to like make sure I finish the challenge, just because I felt like it and to give myself options that work for my characters and interests lol I don’t think I’ll get to all of these. If you do see a prompt you’d specifically like to see me draw for any of my characters, send me an ask to guide my decision making 😌 it does not have to be in the “proper week” or in order or anything, and you're welcome to send them early!
So as it says, feel free to use! And maybe tag me if you do :D I wanna see even more ocs this year
For October 2025, the Prompt Foundry is having itself another double feature: OC-tober and Ominous October!
OC-tober is meant as a celebration of and chance to share your Original Characters, whether they're fan characters, the cast of your original work, or just little guys who hang out in your brain without much of a story to go along with them yet. Write about them, draw them, cosplay them, compose music for them—whatever sort of creativity they inspire!
Feel free to combine different days’ prompts with each other, or combine them with other events, like Ominous October or events from other communities! You can even check out last year’s OC-tober to see if you might prefer some of those prompts.
If you use this list, please tag me here @thepromptfoundry, I’d love to see your work and learn about your characters!
Respond to as many prompts as you want or as interest you, don’t worry about missing or skipping any. Remember, this is supposed to be fun!
If you have any questions or musings, check our FAQ, and if you don’t find your answer, shoot me an ask.

Since the fifth anniversary of Baldur's Gate 3's early access launch happens to coincide with OC-tober, I wanted to share a BG3-themed list for the month! The list is free to remix, skip, and modify as you see fit, dear reader.
Oc of the day that I wanted to make a little gift art to is Nicole from @clacy2812. Her TMNT OC is so cool and I remembered some interactions between her OC and my own TMNT OC I had. But this time I wanted to practice on a new coloring style I’m trying! Hopefully you guys like it!
