A Fantasy - themed Fakemon Challenge
Artwork by StarryNight-Skye
What is a Fakeathon?
A Fakeathon is a monthly art challenge that began with Involuntary Twitch's Faketober Challenge in 2015. The concept is simple: design & draw at least one new Pokémon or creature a day, for 30 days, based on daily prompts revolving around a theme. You can use any medium: traditional art, digital art, pixel art, whatever. Additional details, such as names, types, stats, etc. are entirely optional and up to you!
How do I participate? Are there any requirements?
Anyone can partake in a Fakeathon! Simply follow the prompt provided for that day - or pick & choose whichever prompts you like! You don't have to be a serious artist or spend a lot of time on it. You aren't required to do all 30 days, either - it's just for fun. Share your designs with others using the #Fakeathon tag on Twitter, Tumblr and DeviantArt.
Spread the love of Pokémon, and let's have a good time creating artwork together!

Previous Fakeathons:
Faketober 2021
We’re back, folks! it’s time for yet another fakemon art challenge! This year, it’s a reprise of the first-ever fakeathon theme: spooky scary monsters, fitting for the month of Halloween. A Fakeathon is a monthly art challenge where the goal is to create, design, and/or draw one fake Pokémon a day for 30 days. Anyone can participate, and any and all types of media are allowed. You don’t have to do all the prompts, nor do you have to follow each prompt precisely or do them in order. Ultimately, it’s about finding inspiration, challenging yourself and having fun! All you have to do is share it with the #Faketober2021 tag on social media! Personally, I’ll be participating this month by drawing some old designs, interspersed with new concepts. I hope you’ll enjoy, and I look forward to seeing what you all create!
The 2020 Fakeathon
It's back! The 2020 Fakeathon begins on April 1st, and that's no prank! This year has certainly taken a strange turn, hasn’t it? With so many of us in quarantine 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? A. The Fakeathon is an art challenge that runs for a month. 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! 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.
Holiday Art Commissions!
Happy holidays! I'm reopening commissions in time for the season, so if you've been looking to get pixel art or a drawing of yours or a friend's Fakemon or OC, now is the time! For the first time ever, I'm also offering sugi-style fakemon art commissions as well. As usual, my prices are based around size, complexity, and whether or not there's a preexisting design. Prices range from $10-30 starting out (for pixels), $30-50 for sugi art. I take payment via PayPal, all upfront for commissions less than $40 or half upfront and half on completion for comms greater than $40. I also usually draw commissions on Livestream, here: https://www.twitch.tv/oripoke Commission Slots 1. TAKEN 2. TAKEN 3. OPEN 4.
