Hi my name is Aspen, I am an an independent artist living in the DMV area.
I work full time and am trying to pay my bills and put money aside for my own place.
I made a Dolphin digital sticker you can buy off my payhip and use wherever you want as long as you’re not re-selling, and when you buy one or however many to share, you’re supporting me. And I appreciate it. Any help is helpful.
I would like to sell AS MANY stickers as I can. Where I live, a house can go anywhere from $100-500,000 and if I do end up reaching $100,000, that would be enough for a mobile home which I would also accept and happily live in. I don’t need much, just a 2 br. I don’t want anything fancy, but min is $100k (If you don’t believe me that’s your biz but I would never lie and take advantage of ppl’s hard earned money and also generosity so please do know you are indeed supporting someone who is waiting for housing assistance from my county and is working a full time job to try to get the fuck outta where I live now (not that I don’t love my parents and siblings bc I absolutely do until the day I die God forbid soon may we live a long healthy life Amen) and into a place I can comfortably call my own home.
I also draw and have other stickers planned like a Sonic popsicle I hand drew that I’m REALLY proud of and can’t wait to see everyone’s reactions on <3
Please help a queer Latino out! <3 I will serenade you all with Preciosa by Marc Anthony if I make my $100,000 goal on stream I SWEAR.

MERSKELES PART 3!
Definitely not mermay anymore but here's the last 3 sirens I wanted to do
and some explanation on why I choose what I did under the cut
(little warning for parasites on fresh's section)
So from left to right
Dream is a golden colored koi carp fish, I picked it because they are very pretty and they represent a lot of positive things like luck and fortune, some people even wish on them to make their dreams come true :> I also thought of the legend where a golden koi fish climbs a large waterfall to turn into a dragon, so they have some mythical legends as well. In terms of the actual fish, Koi are very sociable and sturdy, they also live for quite awhile.
Nightmare is a coelacanth, he should probably be an octopus considering he has tentacles, but I really wanted to make him a coelacanth because I think they are neat. Coelacanth's are very old with the latest fossils being over 400 million years old, they were thought to be extinct until one was found in 1938, grandpa nightmare. They are also nocturnal, sleeping in caves during the day, they live deep in the ocean as well.
Fresh is actually a two in one, he is a rainbow parrotfish with a tongue-eating louse in his mouth. Out of alI the bright fish I did a parrotfish because I really like their gradients, and I think the magenta fins fit his jacket. He's a parasite inside of a Sans body, so I picked a fish parasite to go along with the fish half of his body. I chose the tongue-eating louse, a type of parasite that replaces a fish's tongue. It first severs the blood vessels to the tongue and once it falls off takes its place. feeding on nutrients and acting as a new tongue for the rest of the fish's life, very cool and terrifying.

SOLARIS PANTHERA 🐯 ☀️
(Solar Panther) Also known as Tonalincelotl (daylight panther)
"The solar panthers are solitary felines with photokinetic abilities. Thanks to the specialized light-absorbing cells in their tissue they possess the sinister ability to draw all of the thermal energy of an area (including other organisms) into themselves and instantly kill everything in the surroundings out of a sheer cold shock, this being their main source of sustainability- to consume energy be it heat or light.
As such, they are big threats to the environment and civilization so they are (while not advisable) hunted down and the suspected places are marked so no one steps any closer into their territories. Since they have developed fins —not to mention they have a very aquatic appearance overall— and fantastic swimming skills it isn’t rare to find them wandering around water masses."
*Creature design from a dream I had a few years ago! one of my favourite🐆
