Sticker Club
Here's a list of ideas for me to draw and design for my monthly sticker club. The theme is weird critters, cryptids, and mythical creatures. I will also draw horror characters as extras…
Requests from 2024
- weasel
chupacabramothman!- the cat that scientists made glow in the dark!
- Helicoprion!
- Coelacanth
Narwhal!- The word “narwhal” comes from the Old Norse nárhval, meaning 'corpse-whale', which possibly refers to the animal's grey, mottled skin and its habit of remaining motionless when at the water's surface
- “In the majority of cases, erupted tusks appear only in males and the left-side tusk is the one that tends to emerge.” Females tend to lose their tusk if they grow them
- No solid known use for tusk: may be for mating display, stunning fish to eat, or breaking ice
thylacine
Requests from 2024
- arc = Would love some Skum birds for the sticker club! Like Sandhills, grey herons,turkey vultures!
- whim = What about Hombre Gato for a cryptid & leafy seadragon for a for realz critter?
Some ideas from me:
crappy animals
- sunfish - cant move spine or mouth, gets so many worms they have to bask on the surface for birds to eat their parasites
- Octopuses die after reproduction
- Squids ink through their mobility/waste hole
- Most sponges reproduce sexually.
- Paxillosida Starfish use one hole for their mouth and anus.

Cryptids
Bugs

- (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snallygaster) “The snallygaster was described as half-reptile, half-bird having a metallic beak lined with razor-sharp teeth, occasionally alongside octopus-like tentacles. Seven-pointed stars, which reputedly kept the snallygaster at bay, can still be seen painted on local barns.”
