APRIL 2020 FAKEATHON 

This year has certainly taken a strange turn, hasn’t it? With so many of us stuck at home and looking for ways to pass the time, it seems like the perfect opportunity to design fake Pokémon and share them with the world!

Q. What is the Fakeathon?

The Fakeathon is an art challenge that runs for a month, similar to inktober. The goal is to create one fake Pokémon per day following a list of daily prompts. Anyone can participate, and you are free to use any method of art, from digital to traditional to pixel art or any other style you choose!

Share your art with the world using the hashtag #Fakeathon2020 on social media, starting on April 1 when this challenge begins!

Theme: Around The World

We may be stuck at home, but we can still imagine what it would be like to travel the world. For this Fakeathon, every day is a different country. Your challenge is to create a fakemon inspired by that country in some way, whether it be its landmarks, wildlife, culture, or mythology. Our hope is that this will be a way to discover world cultures! (Please be careful and considerate of other cultures and try not to create designs that are offensive!)

Every listed country contains a link to its respective Wikipedia article - be sure to check out these pages for inspiration and to learn a little bit about every place!

Day 2: United States of America

Considering there’s already something of an ‘America’ pokemon in the form of Braviary I wanted to come at it from a bit of a different angle and take inspiration from early puritan settlements and the history of witches.

I also wanted this one to have pre-evos but in the interest of saving time the final stage will have to be enough. Maybe I can make that happen once the challenge is over.
