It’s that time of the year — the Creatuanary 2026 list is here!
This year, we’ve put together a diverse selection of creatures drawn from folklore, mythology, and popular culture — including a few iconic Pokémon — to explore different forms, cultures, and visual narratives.

This is our proposed list, and we invite everyone to join the challenge and interpret it in their own way.
Tag this account @creatuanary and the challenge creators @dibujantenocturno, @joshuacairos_art, and @rafater_official if you’d like your work to be shared in their stories for extra visibility.

The list is designed to be intuitive, but if you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below.
Please avoid using AI-generated imagery, as it goes against the spirit of the challenge.

This challenge wouldn’t be possible without all of you — thank you for being part of it.
Creatuanary starts on January 1st!

Don’t forget to use the hashtags #creatuanary or #creatuanary2026 so everyone can discover your work.
