A legendary ink critter! INKTOBER RANDOM CREATURE DESIGN #19

[@fynnfluff]

Maybe call the cute little guy "Threetoed flying Fox" If you wanna combine the names. Or more absract like ... "Nightglider"

[@HQnovad]

i looooooove Nightglider

[@KodaTheOfficialChannel]

Omg you should do one where you only use the baby versions of the animals 🥰

[@deborahguhl8846]

That Would Be So Cute!

[@RruiSoul]

That would be awesome she should sell these cards in mystery packs

[@sleepykoi4617]

Random name that came out of my brain hole is "Whispering Vrisk" (apparently according to google translate vrisk means scream in Slovenian which is ironic and completely unintentional)

[@masksenpai5889]

crystal koi hey could I use your name for my own creature?

[@sleepykoi4617]

@@masksenpai5889 sure!

[@BlackoutArtz]

Microraptors have to be one of my favorite dinosaurs ever :D They're so cute and fluffy!!!

[@minshi5956]

For some reason the words that come to mind are “Moon Chockobee” and I can’t think of anything else lol

[@masksenpai5889]

hey could I use your name for my own creature?

[@widdershins8837]

I don’t know why, but whenever I look at him I think “Nink” [as in night ink, (unoriginal, I know)] It just sounds so cute and mysterious, exactly what he looks like. Also, he’s STUNNING! I love these creature designs! They really make my day 😄❤️

[@masksenpai5889]

PupsterGirl hey could I use your name for my own creature?

[@widdershins8837]

Sure. I literally just came up with it off the top of my head. It’s totally free to use. 🙂

[@DanyaZwiegelaar]

What about a name like The Nink of the Night

[@sammysgoldenhour]

"These sketches aren't very good" GURL I'd die to sketch like that, let alone draw like you You're awesome!!!

[@janemaguire3761]

I think you should call it a Nero Noctilian (Nero: black, Noctilian: Nocturnal + Reptile but as reptilian)

[@janemaguire3761]

Mask Senpai Sure, I would be glad if people used it, I would be so happy if Dina used mine, but it’s never happened before, but yeah sure you can use it

[@myselfnotyours9944]

It would be a good idea to make the name neroctilian

[@catminer9250]

*Dina* : "I don't feel like any of these sketches are very good." *Me* : _Aspires to be able to draw how she sketches_

[@lonely.art.corner843]

For some reason I wanna name it a long-toed Guiox(gui and fox mixed together or Nocte Volat (which means flying night)

[@shara_ender]

“Kind of looks like a creature from Moominvalley” me looks up from drawing Snufkin 0-0

[@royddraig]

I literally just started getting into Moominvalley a while ago and now I'm just seeing it appearing everywhere and when she said that I was like WHAT

[@shara_ender]

Red Ddraig same!!!! Like I was listening to the song “lemon boy” by cave town and there’s a reference to Snufkin and little my. And I was shook

[@royddraig]

@@shara_ender I never bothered to look at the lyrics but I looked and now I'm major shook

[@shara_ender]

Red Ddraig 👌🏻

[@halthelesbian1377]

Low key the fact that Dina’s voice is very soft sounding matches her really soft and whimsical style satisfies me to no end

[@NIKKORLASH]

I LOVE! it reminds me of a night Guardian type thing or a guardian of the shadows I can imagine it painting shadows with its tail to protect creatures during the night blending in and moving swiftly through the night!

[@MrJulle717]

It look so cute. I imagine its a nocturnal creature flying and climbing mountains, trees for fruits. Maybe it can have like scary name given by the people to tell bed time stories to their kid. Despite that its just a cute misconcept creature people have due to its rare sightings and scary sound it makes. Whispering grim.

[@bluesapphire170]

First of all, that Complete ink drawing is absolutely gorgeous, I love it even better then the finished product (which is also beautiful as always) and I have a few name suggestions that might interest you. *Orpheus* -a Greek mythological name meaning ‘the darkness of the night’ *Kamaria* -means beauty of the moon in Swahili *Rhiannon* -a name of a Welsh goddess of the moon. I thought all those names were interesting, cause they give of guardian/companion like vibes which I think fit your adorable creature.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

I seriously love this one!!! Gosh I should not have watched at midnight....it makes me want to go draw!

[@helenkaur8832]

It fits!!!!!

[@ekkof.888]

one of the official inktober prompts is 'legend' ! so it fits perfectly making the inktober creature a legendary card !! i don't have any cool names, but i see others' suggestions are awesome so far cx

[@melissavines4454]

Thank you so much for sharing your art. You do a beautiful job with the creatures!

[@cake-diver8991]

All of your creature designs are amazing. Would work really well in the D&D world

[@KatieZebra55]

Seemed a bit Egyptian to me, like Anubis, especially the first concept sketch when you mixed the animals together for the first time. The head reminded me a lot of a bat. Amazing piece as always,, definitely gave the vibe you were looking for.

[@thecrasy]

I love both versions of your creature but I prefer the ink one, he looks like he's wearing some sort of hoodie and it's so cute ! You did a great job for this one!

[@DinaNorlund]

Haha I'm glad you like him

[@KodaTheOfficialChannel]

The Fox-eared Moon Slox

[@chandram8304]

For a name, how about a Deep Forest Púca? Púcas are mischievous spirits and I think this little one is just that!

[@debramartinez1975]

Three clawed night thief just won't get out of my head. Just a side note, fossil evidence of the Microraptor has shown that its feathers were likely black with iridescence. Pretty cool that you made it shiny black without knowing that!

[@christinetirimon4232]

I feel like this creature would live in a rainforest area and maybe he can change colour like a chameleon (so pretty much camouflage). at night they can be dark and during the day he can gain colour. Or maybe males are bright in colour and females are dull (like certain birds and stuff)

[@lucasdeconninck1232]

I think it looks perfect for inktober, it looks very halloween-ish!

[@charliedrawstuff723]

Name ideas: Midnight Ink Glider (because it has ink black feathers), the Flying Dream catcher, Gliding Raccon Fox or Nightopteryx (from Night+Archaeopteryx) Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day!!❤❤

[@jimboamok3258]

Sloraphox : A clever and lazzy creature. Living in rain forest. Hunting smaller animals in the night with a group of three or five Sloraphoxes.

[@meh.3208]

Smaller*

[@adorky.]

Im sad I didnt find out about your channel when you started your creature cards - id love to have started getting the entire set! ^^;

[@Rosel_24]

I love your art style so much!!! You have inspired me to get into drawing animals again, TYSM.

[@ImpeccableKarma]

A Gargolyn Bat! Makes me think that it might sit in trees at night waiting for prey, almost like a gargoyle, and the ears make me think that it would function like a bat

[@SCqb9wo]

This turned out really really good Dina! 👍💚

[@kiaramacrae7659]

This creature would be a perfect familiar for a witch! Maybe something like an *Ink-Quilled Amaroc*

[@steliosstanis2125]

Wow, that's incredible random creature!!!❤😉👍

[@dorothywhisler8525]

I think this is my favorite creature design yet.

[@docfrayon]

I never said anything here... I think... But this piece is awesome ! Like the rest of your art... Some much creativity !! Plus you are the sweetest person on KZbin. I'm glad I follow you :D

[@ciaolife]

There are a few gods of darkness who could lend their name as part of something longer. Araphel was a Canaanite god of divine darkness, while Erebus was the Greek god of primordial darkness. The Three-toed Erebus for example?

[@fish_envy]

I was thinking Crested Nightwing or Crested Nightfox. Night for obvious reasons, lol. But I can't stop thinking of crested when I see the white lines on his face.

[@valasafantastic1055]

I also just did a creature design for ornament. The Ornament bird. It's a crane like mythical bird and now I keep getting worldbuilding ideas and expanding on the place its from! Anyways fun video thanks!

[@indesomniac]

three-toed inkslinger perhaps? i love the way this one came out!

[@mc2573]

I get so inspired just watching your videos !!!

[@DinaNorlund]

Aw yay thank you so much

[@gamelofdemenor8228]

What about Fox-eared dreamer?

[@Zia-ep3co]

I really want an amphibian or a chameleon (if that's how you spell it) for the next random creature design, maybe you could add more to your jar? Love your art

[@namupurachi]

Just something to consider: DrawingWiffWaffles starts inking from the top left corner to the bottom right to decrease the chance of smudging Dunno just though it'd be helpful

[@danisimpkin9693]

Omg Dina your art is amazing and I love it so much❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️amazing ♥️

[@deborahguhl8846]

How about ' Black Phantom ' or ' Three Clawed Vampire ' or maybe ' Hade's Curse ' A legendary creature needs a legendary name. Edit: Thanks for the likes!

[@livcrosby9017]

I love your creature design work! i'd love it if you did a video on how you do your digital art work as well. :)

[@DinaNorlund]

Oh I might do that soon! :D I'm doing so much digital stuff, but I never seem to do digital videos anymore hmmm

[@dropattack3664]

clawed ghost light, cuz of the glowy looking eyes and shiny feathers/fur. he looks cute but leads you into the woods or something with his hypnotizing glowing reflections and eyes

[@DinaNorlund]

Oooooooh spoookey!

[@TheArtsyPineapple]

Your process is so fascinating to watch, and your line work is so good! Thanks for such an awesome design and video! 🤗

[@Werecat06]

How about a 3-toed nightglider? I can definitely picture it swooping down and gliding between trees after insects.

[@StuePitt]

Hey Nina! I love your Creature Designs, it's just very fascinating how you piece the animals together. Though I'm pretty sure, the face of the baby sloth you're using as reference is actually a *two clawed sloth*. Those are less tired looking than the three clawed sloths. Maybe. I'm not a zooologist. xD

[@NadaSerafimovic]

You are sooo good at inking!!! I love the portrait of this character!!!

[@captnconfusion280]

YES!! Microraptor is my favourite dinosaur! It looks so cute mashed together with the other two

[@MD_.]

I love his face so much ❤

[@Sarai0Mia]

Oh i love him 😍 can’t wait for his card to arrive!! 🥰

[@cjcrimson67]

agh I'm late! This challenge gives me so much inspiration, I'll be definitely trying this out myself with proper credit on where my inspiration came from in case I post some of my creations. I absolutely LOVE your work, and I might even try to get those creature cards sometime soon!

[@peskygoat4293]

How about dreamwalker or something like that?

[@lanita_mcgray]

Maybe call it, Nocturn Guix? Just take the 'x' off of Fox and make it silent. It's kind of spoopy, but really cute at the same time.

[@ermalando4401]

all i can think of is wacks because of the moon phase and how sleek it is like a candle

[@caarolparker]

Dina, could you please make a tutorial on how do you paint on pro create? I saw your 'characters objects only' and i really liked how you paint but did not understand much about the layers settings

[@herddragon9215]

a night prowler, the three-toed night glider. nightmare glider. a predator creature. micro raptor that kind of dinosaur you used to creat this cutie is beloved to have not flown but glad from tall trees. foxes hunt at night with their ears and sloths spend the majority of their time up in the trees. supper cute video.

[@emmajharrington426]

How about Nightmare Nocna for the name? He gives me nightmare vibes but like... cute ones.

[@masksenpai5889]

emmajharrington hey could I use your name for my own creature?

[@emmajharrington426]

@@masksenpai5889 Ofcourse lol

[@christineingram55]

He looks amazing 😀

[@chibinationdelarie1069]

the Virago Fox (Virago=Harpy)

[@SimoSimo-qm5xh]

This creature is sooo cool!♥

[@TheGoblinKiing]

I have a couple name ideas I just came up with in my head while watching. 1) 3 Toed Micro Fraptor (fraptor like, fox raptor hehe) 2) Micro Shale Sloptox (Sloptox is a silly combo of sloth, raptor, and fox) (p.s. love your videos honey💙)

[@Kurooganeko]

It would be soooooo amazing if you would design a fairy-like creature mixing a queen bee,a butterfly and a firefly

[@zerobold298]

I like Three-toed Nightglider as the name. Or just “Glider”

[@attiegrey]

Mangrove Falcon? Or midnight falcon, or shadowed mangrove falcon?? Idk

[@pale_raven_arts5930]

the night glider would be a cool name, or maybe even the inky glider....

[@wolfpawdrawsstudio4253]

I love this one and just like last year it’s adorable

[@TheFraeuleinGlitzer]

I imagine him to be a quiet flying creature. Like owls who can fly with barely making a sound. And because of the nocturnal feel of the Colors and the slow heaviness of the sloth that reminds me of deep slumber...my idea for this guy is: Morpheus‘ Whisper. For the God of dreams as well as the sleek, wise and black leather clad Lawrence Fishbourne in The Matrix.

[@paintingwithpj]

Scandinavian Moon Bat

[@kimchifawn3511]

I want to make chibis of the beautiful creature Dina made but I don’t know which one I should do first?

[@Miggeamakes]

This is gonna be a fun one to do 😍😍😍😍😍😍 love him so much!!!!!

[@ourabouras]

Don’t know what the entire name should be but I thought it might be fun to call it an Inksnout or Inknose 😁 Also great drawing, I’m not confident enough to freehand with ink but I’ll get there one day😊

[@TheePotatoGoblin]

My drawing was there yayyy 😭❤

[@catminer9250]

Did you choose the watercolor tubes and put them into a tray or did you use the blocks of watercolor that come in sets? I really want to buy the set of watercolors that you listed, but none of them have Pthalo Blue.

[@Laura-qu9kz]

I LOVE THIS ONE

[@JonathanBlido]

Finally happiness has come, been looking forward to this since 2 weeks ago (i cried when last week you did not upload). Name suggestion: "foxloth-gui"

[@kasuminaoki7312]

Sumi is one variation for ink in Japanese, so perhaps something related to that? Perhaps Forest/Snowy Sumi? Or perhaps Yoru/Yurei Sumi - Yoru being one variation for night and Yurei being one variation of ghost in Japanese as well. So, directly meaning Night/Ghost Ink?

[@mtjc5336]

What pen is that you’re using? Also when you do digital art, what system / tablet and stylus are you using? Did I hear you mention once that it’s Patreon tech?

[@RruiSoul]

The Karto-Raptors were from a Deep Dark Dimension where they found the last functioning portal to earth and fed off animals. using their razor sharp claws their fox like legs their raptoral wings and lay but not least their intellect they waited and hunted

[@cthill1180]

I LOVE YOUR ART!!! You really inspired me to start making some creature designs myself =D

[@OnlySamCan]

I was listening to this song before I started watching this video.. I kept checking my audio to make sure it wasn’t messed up.

[@dizzaray25]

I see this creature being like the friend of banshees. Like when a banshee marks someone for death this little guy stalks them to make sure they meet their fate. Something like... Shimmering Night Stalker.

[@kisharafox5592]

Nocturne Vulpes is what I would call it. Nocturne is a romantic song inspired by Night. Vulpes is the scientific name for the Fox genus.

[@cryptidgator]

Hmmm, how about something like "Pitch Wraith". Pitch because it's mostly black, and Wraith since I find it may be more mysterious and ghostly?

[@Pinaaasher]

The design oddly reminds me of a black hole, where it consumes all of the light. So, perhaps something like "Star Chaser"? Or maybe "Mono Rex" (Since it is a monochrome creature and the microraptor is a prehistoric animal?)

[@DinaNorlund]

Oooh that is fancy.. the dark hole theory! Maybe even dark matter? :0

[@ashermcclinton7938]

when turing it into a creature card you should make a "dark" or "night" subclass (like how Pokemon has water, grass, etc) and they could all be black and white so you could also have a break from colour every once and a while.

[@DinaNorlund]

Definitley a black and white card, which I'm suuuper excited about :D Thank you

[@faux3756]

for the creature card you could try and make it black and white like the creature is extinct and its an old artist drawing/sketch of it in the wild

[@greengoblinboy585]

AAAA EXCITEMENT!!

[@JonathanBlido]

Indeed.

[@alinateez306]

Petite lunar Sox - lunar because the white eyes make me think of the moon and sox (sloth +fox). Also it's a micro so why not change it to petite💜

[@kirezuma]

Heey, whats the ipad you're using? I'm considering getting one for myself...

[@zhenshei9398]

Perhaps you could name him "The Black Vampyre" I feel like that has a ring to it and a special spooky theme for halloween?

[@littleguy8085]

Yayyyyy another inktober video!

[@teresamazotti1315]

I love him!!

[@tcsproductions4244]

My suggestion for a name is... MOSHUI JINGSHEN... the spirit of ink. :)

[@itsatiepoproductions7338]

Have you ever heard of an enfield? It was a heraldic beast and you drew one. I dub this guy the Obsidian Pocket Enfield.
