Kind Beasts

Design a creature that defies first impressions. It might look fierce but acts with tenderness.

It could be enormous, loud, covered in claws — yet protects a village, calms storms, or guards lost children. You can also flip it: a creature that seems kind but has a hidden edge.

Examples of on-theme creations could include:

• A shadowy, antlered giant who lights lanterns for travelers
• A scaly forest lurker that leaves flowers behind
• A horned sky beast that cradles orphans in its wings

When making your art, keep these things in mind:

• Creativity: Did you show the theme in a unique or interesting way? Will your art stand out?
• Visual Impact: Is your image eye-catching or emotional? Will it make people stop and feel something?
• Fits the Theme: Is it clear how your image connects to today’s theme? Will voters understand the idea right away?
• Skill: Does your art show that you know how to use prompts and site tools well?
