This week we challenge you to texture zixisun02‘s charming Shiba. Download the untextured model, use your preferred tools and workflow to texture it, upload your finished model to Sketchfab, and tag it #ShibaTexturingChallenge. What direction will you go with it? Steampunk shiba, undead shiba, droid shiba, fairy princess shiba, or something else entirely?

UPDATE: Winner – Shiba is Bad Guy by grigoriyarx
