I am a simple human, I see dragon in the title, I click.
hehe my trap WORKED
Dang nebbit! I fell for it too!😂 (Not sorry though)
I fell for it too!
I can relate 100%
Same with me, I saw fairy and clicked
I feel like this animal would be kind of a mix of a flying and sea creature (like a more extreme version of those flying fish). Like maybe during the night it comes out of the water and flies around like a bat but when its morning time it'll go back under water to hide under rocks (I imagine when its underwater its wings act like manta ray wings, so cute).
Edit: also I think its name should be Painted Sea Nymph
ok I love that name for the creature it's so fitting and people would think of nymphs as being tiny so again I LOVE that creature name
I always wanna cuddle your intro animal 😂
You’re so talented! Such a good idea for a series
same
I wanna cuddle all of her animals in one cozy room
It's amazing, I think it should be called a Batwng Sea Flower.
Agree!
Heh I love it
I like scary, cute, mystical, ugly, whatever! As long as you have fun making it, anything you make is beautiful
Your work it’s always stunning Dina ❤️
I love that this one is a more realistic take on this series. It looks so crazy and interesting
I miss you Dina, I still watch your videos for inspiration, even if I want to cry. I hope, wherever you are in the afterlife if there is one, that you are at peace ❤️😭😭
okay the porcupine mix up was actually really understandable!! a vaquita is a porpoise which sounds quit a lot like porcupine.
It could totally be a flying Amphibian! Living in tropic swamps, it lays it's eggs in the well hidden ponds and when the babies hatch, the mother brings them onto a tree and teaches them how to fly.
Also, if you finish that sketchbook you should definitely do a tour! It's so pretty and colorful up until now ♡.♡
Name ideas: The Spotted Sea-Dog, The Winged Seaback, The Rainbow Water Demon, etc
Rainbow Water Demon is epic!
I read that as the rainbow watermelon 😂 lol
@@planetminepup8305 xD
I really like rainbow water demon
Rainbow water demon sounds AWESOME
Fun fact! Vaquitas aren't actually dolphins, they are one of the seven species of porpoise! The difference between porpoise and dolphin are their snout and body shape. They are also endangered.
This would look great as a poseable OOAK doll also love your videos so so much
I would name it the speckled back seadragon or something like that
My favorite part of your videos is when you are brainstorming and my most favorite is when you do line art I love your videos 👍👍
It should be called the feathered sea dragon!! It would be such a cute name and I love your work so much
Yo i got you. that’s mega altaria
I appreciate you
I’d love if it was called something like “Rainbow Kelpie”
I can't believe you weren't sure if you should make a card out of this creature! Of course you should! It's absolutely amazing😍😍😍😍
I don't know why but it's so satisfying to watch her outline...
could you do a video explaining color design more? I can't find any videos explaining the color theory of body parts very well like how you choose what color combo best fits the character and what should be what color on their body from the combo
The way you combined the animals makes it look so adorable even though the animals used are “unique” looking.
The reason its called peacock is because of the bright, jewel like colours, all shrimp, lobsters and things like them have tails like that. Also, OMG I LOVE the way this creature have turned out!!!
i like to think the things on the side of it's face are air sacks for when it's in the water, and water sacks for when it's on land and in the air. one ensures it can swim for extended amounts of time without needing to come out for air, whilst the other ensures that it does not have to constantly stay on the ground for water.
I think this creature is only as big as a barn owl and fast flyers, lives in both sea, air and able to crawl abit on land. It soars the sky to look for food in the sea and they also have echolocation if they are above water and glow in the dark, they catch small fish and having scaly wings allows them to fly right out of the water without having wet feathers as a problem. It is a cheeky plus friendly and befriends many other creatures around it.
Thats how i would describe it. 😂
Oh and maybe call it something along the lines of Ocean Rays, Ocean Falcon or Sea Fairy.
Oh look, a rainbow bat. What a rare sight. We are lucky!
I love watching bat videos, they're mostly bat carriers rescuring bats mostly fruit bats and they're really eye opening and educational and sometimes sad to watch and sometimes fun to watch but Really loved this creature you drew :3
This marvellous and utterly energetic “creature” had the bad choice to leave us for some months ago, due to cancer. May you continue to paint the sky and all our fantasies as the pro you turned up to be. Well forever miss you laughter and your energy, Dina. R.I.P. and May we all carry your “sunshine” within and at the very surface. Life isn’t complicated, nor is it fair, but to cherish it, isn’t a bad approach. From the bottom of my heart - I’m grateful for the fact that you shared and that you dared to share your plain and immediate joy with us. “Aquila Non Capit Muscas”
The peacock mantis is really freaky but the colors are so vibrant and colorful. I love the pose and colors you used.
I think it's called a wisp, and a group is either a murmur or a hush.
Fairy sea flyer. I like the idea of it being able to fly and swim, though I imagine it swims better.
The first tiny sketch of the creature looks light Toothless the Night Fury ❤️
I imagine that it uses its tail to propel itself and the wings and fins/feet to turn super fast. Like, it can change directions faster than any other marine life. I also think it uses its thumbs to climb out of the water to catch insects, but can only fly from there because of the fins on its feet. Love it!
Love love the details! :D He would definitely climb up to catch some food
he’s so cute!! He’s almost like a crustacean phoenix 😊 very mystical!!
Wait... is that actually a thing?? crustacean phoenix ?? Cus I Love that name idea :o
Dina Norlund I don’t think it’s a thing...my brain just went !! phoenix! 😂
I imagine this being a fantasy pet for a hippie. I don't know why. Just the colors made me think of that.
Ahh your work is always so stunning!
It would be cool to have the creature be aquatic. So the wings could help it swim through the water like a dolphin with fins!
This is undeniably late, but I wanna add in my own opinion of the creature :)) I'd like to think that it's a water creature, but uses it's wings to navigate easily (or easier, whichever you prefer) through the water, but also can be used to stabilise themselves in the air when they jump out of the water (yes, like flying fish). Then, for the antennas(???), they can be used to detect predators around them. I don't know how, I'm not a science person. Back to swimming, their tails along with the flippers among 'em can even make it better. I also like to think that they could camouflage quite a bit because of their colors.
If every time I see you post. The hugest smile comes in my face. Thank you for keeping us creative!!! 💜💜💜😂🥰
He is beautiful! I love the fact that he is so different from the other creatures. I really wanted to raise such a creature as a pet! I think he should be called sea phoenix. 😊
i love mystical creatures, the thumbnail is what interested me. all your art is amazing!
Wow! You really top yourself here. The details are stunning, the colours are good looking, at the design (in my opinion), looks so sweet and grand! Thank you for being so talented.
I could imagine this being like a bird living near the beach in a Caribbean setting, that lives from eating crabs and fish and maybe also raises its young near the water. It could also easily be a water creature that has the ability to fly and go on land
I love him. If I saw this guy in the wild I would 100% try and be his friend. I've never seen your channel before, but I will subscribe just cos of this little guy. You did a really good job!
Mixing warm and cold colors together isn’t the best idea but it looked really cool at the end it’s gorgeous 💜💙🧡
This is soo cute I could see it flying through the sky and then diving into the water
The bat you drew was so GOOD! And the vaquita is soo adorable!
I love this creature i feel it should be in some type of cool mystical movie of some sort
the Nimue Dragon as a name
Name it after a member of the Fae, the lady in the lake specifically
I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this vid but I really like it and the sound of other artists artisting is so inspiring to me
Love the colors on this one and agree that adding colored pencil helped them pop. I believe if you wanted to make it a bit less "messy" as you stated in the video; changing up the pose would help.
this creature actually reminds me a lot of insects, especially colourful moths, idk i just feel like it would be an interesting insect
Based on the anatomy, I'd say it would be either semi-aquatic or aquatic. The fringes on the head are reminiscent of an axolotl, and the antenna personally remind me of a catfish's barbels, and the extra propulsion gained from the wing structures on the feet, it would be quite the nimble aquatic predator of possibly smaller fish and soft-bodies creatures. In the terms of name recommendations, I'd like to suggest the *Fringehead Fairy Drake*
Am I the only one here binging this during quarantine
Love creatures with bright colours and big eyes!
You have such a wonderful art style. Something about it makes me smile every time! 😁😁
I do enjoy your rational behind your creature trait selections, they just seem to work! Lovely video so soothing too! I am also looking forward to see what the others are going to come up with! I wish I had more time to indulge myself! Good luck and keep those creatures coming!
for a name is was thinking Bright-flier, Sea wanderer,
Water and land, it can use it's wings to swim and fly. It rather flies than walks, since the feet are a little weak.
It uses clicking noises (Vaquita part) but also small squeaks(bat part)
I don't know but this is what i came up with
I love this design! Very colourful and cute as always. If it were up to me I’d call it the Coastal Horizon Faedragon or the Deep Sea Dragon-nymph
I only watched this video now but it really makes me think Glowing Sea Bat. Like many deep see creatures it seems blind but can be capable of bioluminescence. It's beautiful!
Subscribed!
This looks like something that belongs in creatures of sonaria
Oooooh I love this creature! It's probably my favourite one so far, mantis shrimps are so cool! Can't wait to do my own version of this mix!
Maybe you aren't crazy about this one Dina but it's very cute! The weirdness is so charming.
i can imagine it gliding through the water looking like it's flying. kinda like a manta ray.
i love her now because she loves bats. Plus shes so inspiring.
I think it should be called the orchid wyvern or banshee Webern. Orchid comes from the fact that the scales from the mantis shrimp make its wings look like petals and the banshee comes from the bat influence and how bats use echolocation. It could live in freshwater ecosystems hunting small freshwater fish and mammals (being that it’s small) and could be similar a bird of prey. I think that it could also use its shiny, multicolored scales as a defense mechanism by blinding predators with its scales (since they look like they’d be reflective). It would be especially effective if this creature was nocturnal (being that it has large eyes and is based partially on a bat) because the intense light is something that nocturnal animals are highly sensitive to. Just some thoughts.
Btw I just discovered your channel and love it!! Keep it up!
The beetle dragon would be a nice name! Or peacock batdragon like the batmobile 😂 maybe it has like invisibility powers because it can camouflage itself the same way those colors that humans can't see is invisible? Love this creature... definitely an air creature because it looks like feathers
Vaquitas are my favorite animal, so I'm just going to comment some things about them.
Vaquitas are endangered! They are the most endangered sea animal in the world, with scientists estimating there are only about 20 left. They are small Porpoises native to the Gulf of Mexico, and only there, no where else in the world. The reason they are endangered is quite sad, they are the same size as another endangered fish, the Totoabo, which is illegally caught in gillnets and sold on the black market. Since the two are the same size, Vaquitas are more than often caught in gillnets and end up drowning. It is to the point where scientists get excited over a corpse of a vaquita because it proves they are still here, which is sad. If anyone wants to donate, I highly recommend Sea Shepard, which is actively trying to save the vaquita.
Thanks for reading!
this is one of my favorite videos of yours, your process of coming up with an idea and see how you develop it I think it's fascinating! And i would LOVE to see some of your process of painting (and drawing if there are some scenes you haven't done yet) of your new comic zine! Love the concept of it!
this is definitely the most interesting and fantastical creature design you've done so far, it looks like if could belong in the Fantastic Beasts universe lol LOVE IT!!
some name suggestions: Manta glider, maquita dragon, spectrum flyer (cause like the rainbow spectrum, ha get it?), deep sea fay
love your design, its very pretty!!
One of my favourite animals are Jerboas or ‘Elephants Shrews’ I’d love to see a random creature design using it!
Man I love your random creature designs XD. It's so cool watching them come to life. Your art in general is just so cool and your vids are always fun to watch.
You were probably thinking of an echidna. Amazing art!
They should be called the fairest death fairies and since their part dolphin and part bat their echolocation should be so strong that it has the power to paralyze people or possibly shatter their eardrums, and that cute mouth that you mentioned earlier with a razor sharp teeth would be perfect
I LOVE THIS CREATURE!!! I like that not all of the animals you create are cute
I like his pot belly! he looks like a tropical dinosaur 😄
That was fun watching lol..he’s actually cute I like him..you did marvellous with the animals you had..can’t wait for the next one 😀
I think it turned out so cool! I love it, especially the colours. This is my first video of yours and I’m sold, the way you just jump in with colour without any tests is really refreshing to me, and it’s astonishing how nicely it works ♥️😳
Plus, I’m really inspired by your process and the idea ☺️
Thanks for the idea of the "suggestion jar." I needed one of those for my artist block lol. Also I LOVE your final product!
i imagine this creature being super small, something that stays close to the bottom of the ocean.
I paused the video the moment you pulled out and read all the prompts to try my hand at it and got something completely different! thats so cool!
Her first combined drawing reminds me of those fish from The Lorax
I use pink pig sketchbooks and they're really nice to work in. They do have watercolour sketchbooks 😊
Love your videos and so do my daughters! They are 10 and 6 and we just love watching your creature designs. Just preordered a comic for both of them as a surprise. I can’t wait to give them to them!!
Aw this makes me so so happy! Thank you so so much
The vaquita is a species of porpoise. they are critically endangered to only 15 last year. They are not directly hunted but get trapped in illegal netting, when illegal fishers fish for totoaba (a fish) for traditional medicine. Causing both the cute small vaquita and totoaba to be endangered.
I know you said you arent super happy with this one but i love it??! Especially calling it a fairy dragon makes me so excited,, I def prefer imagining as a sky creature rather than sea because of that pff
Me: Waits so much time to see this video
Dina: Pick the animals name from the jar
Me: Realizes that one of them (yeah, the peacock shrimp) is the one I suggested ages ago in the comments of one video
Also me: dies
Ahahahh
You're so awesome
I LOVE IT! You did such an amazing job with this creature, I love the way it was designed. So glad this was in my recommended, I'll definitely be looking at your other videos 😲💜
I believe this creature would be an aquatic cave creature because the vaquita and peacock shrimp are aquatic and bats generally love in caves that are mostly moist
I love this creature the colours are awesome and the uniqueness is wicked
Name idea: gypsy Sea Dragon? When you were putting in the darker colors made me think of the word gypsy.. probably because of the orange and the darker blue/purple
Just found your channel and I LOVE your style and your process for making creatures. Beautiful!
Actually, I would love these videos even more if you wouldn't put the finished character in your thumbnail. I think this takes all the suspense away.. but nevertheless, this is an amazing work of art!!
Any suggestions to have it not showing the final but also make people click on it? :D I tried it with the last sculpt design (blur it a little) but it got less clicks :/ any suggestions are very welcome at this point!! Thank you
@@DinaNorlund Ohh that's tricky.. hm I would even click on it immediately if you would just write "creature design" in your thumbnail :D Maybe just put some pics of the first two animals and then you blur the third one or put a question mark over it or something like this.. oh well it really is quite hard to think of something creative and interesting :D
@@JuliaDeis I tried a few options with my Patreons and I've updated it! I think I might have found a middle ground? It's more enticing since the drawing is smaller/more cropped and you get the sketches to! I tried with the pictures of the animals but it looked.. tacky haha. It's hard to please both people like me who like the art and people who want to be entertained by the surprise
this definitely gives me creek/swamp vibes
yessss
As a young and beginner artist, you are a huge inspiration
It looks like a creature from a Brandon Sanderson novel! Also, the comic you showed looks AMAZING!! (I watched that part twice :) )
I love drawing creatures. I love drawing two animals merged into one. Your way is better.
That comic looks amazing! Hopefully at some point next year (when I'll have access to a reliable income source) I'll be able to support you on Patreon. Your colouring and sketching is amazing, as is every single one of your random creature designs
Omg I cant wait to get this card
I fell on your channel a week ago and I LOVE YOUR CREATURE DESIGNS! I'm thinking of making stats fr them to use in games like DnD. You are really inspiring!!
