[@evie2356]

!!! omg yes! I have been wanting to get a few more colours to get the full palette of colours that I want. Thank you so much for saying this here hahah

[@jesusisthetruth4497]

Dina Norlund Jesus Ouo interesting

[@olianneholme3857]

Dina Norlund are you from Norway??

[@crashycymbals]

i'm having a what now

[@dawsongoodridge69]

Yay! I love their purples

[@oskarovergaard5716]

She should be called Phyco short for Phycodurus. It's the name of the leafed sea Dragon in Greek . . My god thanks for the likes!

[@DinaNorlund]

Oooo I like that name! Thank you so much for the suggestion :D

[@Kaylee-qv2lc]

I like that, I think she should be called that

[@golfpen108]

theres a mesopotamian sea goddess called tiamat who's also the dragon goddess and i'm pretty sure the goddess of fertility too

[@kimwilliams4841]

I think she's named 'Fern' Because she looks so gracious, gentle, curious and soft like a fern. Also Fertility related to ferns as they MASS produce. She also looks beautiful and spiritual. 💕💕

[@DinaNorlund]

Ooo I didn't know that! That is super cool :D I do have a character named Fern though, dammit D; Thank you though

[@kimwilliams4841]

@@DinaNorlund Ooh that's okay I also liked the name Dragon, Butterfly and reef as she is named after a dragon fish thing, butterfly as shes just that DAZZLING or reef as shes a mermaid but that's okay thanks 😂 or maybe Moss, Sea-Petal, petal or Neptune as they just seem to fit her. Also will you be continuing your series of nettle and the hushushs? (I also always comment on your random creature videos)

[@kimwilliams4841]

@@DinaNorlund Also she seems Calm, Spiritual and wise yet very knowing, proud and cunning when she needs to be.

[@tannerj8443]

Haven't seen the entire video yet, but c'mon, it's Dina. We all know it's going go be great.

[@DinaNorlund]

haha thank you! What if it disappoints :o

[@tannerj8443]

@@DinaNorlund I can't think of a time where any of your videos have disappointed!

[@mellowyellow5565]

Dina creates art like second nature.

[@checkerboardfae8741]

it's not a dina norlund video if you remember to scan the lineart

[@DinaNorlund]

Omg hahahaha.... true..

[@sarahogvall]

I catch myself being disappointed when you haven’t uploaded a new video, which happens at least once a day. These videos has become therapeutic for me. All your videos makes me calm, thank you

[@DinaNorlund]

Aww I am sorry I can't do multiple ones a week. BUT I do streams Mon, Wed and Fri around 14PM UK time if you are in need of some chill drawing company

[@HART-sk3bz]

*At beginning of line art* :Me: I would so do the lines in gold it'd be so beautiful *Gets near the end of video* :Dina: I think I'm gonna do the line art in gold *brings out gold gel pen* :Me: YYYEEESSSS

[@EnbyReads]

Love it! You should put a permanent sticker on your desk saying "scan line art!"

[@rebeccaNdraws]

I've been binge watching your videos and drawing lots of cats in my sketchbook

[@christineingram55]

I think the soft colours have made here very ethereal and elegant..I love her she’s just beautiful 😀

[@DinaNorlund]

Yay thank you so much! I don't usually go for faded colours so this was fun

[@oiiister]

I love these kinds of videos from you! I usually fall asleep to them cus your art style and voice are so relaxing. Love you loads!

[@DinaNorlund]

Aw thank you, I actually find that so cool to hear, it means i'm not annoying haha

[@Jellekee__]

This looks like a Tarot card, its amazing holy sheet

[@DinaNorlund]

Omg it does! I love tarots... two of eggs? haha

[@honeycombkisses7559]

hey this is nice :)) gives me stained glass window vibes

[@wrensmore9449]

You should make a deck of tarot cards. They would be so beautiful in your style!

[@idekurmom2287]

I love watching you “figure things out”. it makes you’re videos more approachable 🥰

[@lornawestwick6704]

I love the way your brain works with the whole fertility god thing.😊 It's awesome. Hmmm maybe something simple like...... Lady SeaNymph. Goddess of Fertility.

[@DinaNorlund]

Oh thank you! :D I just thought the god needed a purpose and somehow seahorses fit into that category haha

[@paigezuris1169]

I’m so glad you have this series! Every time you post these videos, it’s a push to get me started on whatever piece or studies I’ve had on the back burner.

[@demonheart13]

Female sea horses lay eggs into the males pouch where the male seals them into his womb, fertilizes and gestates them until they are ready to be born. After birth he gets a special lap dance from his wife which gets him pregnant all over again. (Seahorses mate for life btw) they dance with each other almost every day of pregnancy and when one mate dies the other will spend considerable time to mourn before seeking a new mate. #relationshipgoals

[@DinaNorlund]

Aw omg that is so sweet and yet.. nature is weird haha

[@mjpete27]

I got excited about the title of the video then I remembered you are in Europe and you have a lot of gods over there remembered and forgotten! I am hoping to see some American Indian Gods portrayal’s would you consider this subject? I really enjoy your take and process of creation for your artwork! I hope you have some interest in the near future and I look forward to seeing your next video! Thank ya again!

[@bbrachman]

Your artwork is superb. Your technique is wonderful to watch. Absolutely terrific.

[@agabas]

That little chuckle when she used a krone to draw the circle pff

[@victoriaindesign]

YES! An art book of your MerMay would be so awesome!

[@DinaNorlund]

Yessss I am excited! Just have to finished the full month and then I'll do it :D

[@victoriaindesign]

Dina Norlund I love that you are not doing traditional style mermaids and are following a prompt. I also like that you show us your process for things. I hope your Patreons will all be ok with this one being added to the book.

[@kaioe]

honestly havent watched yet but i already saw the thumbnail this is gonna be so good. I love your channel so much 💕💕

[@DinaNorlund]

Hehe thank you! :D

[@KieraJo]

I'm late watching this video, but I had it in my "Watch Later" playlist. I watched/listened along with you while I worked on a caricature of my friend and her new husband for their wedding. :)

[@autumnblessing4073]

Kereska (or some variation of that name like Kere or Reska etc) taken from dnd she's one of the Dragonborn's forgotten relms deities. She's the Goddess of dragon magic and magical creativity which seamed appropriate seeing as she's a leafy seadragon (hence the dragonborn race) and she's art piece by you so creativity 😂 the forgotten relms deity aspect ties in to forgotten gods theme nicely too. 😂😅

[@jaidanbates6435]

Omg it took me so long to figure out why that fish was familiar! It’s the side kick to the villain in Barbie in a Mermaid Tail! Don’t judge me for knowing that movie.

[@bumblebee4591]

I like watching you scroll though Pinterest, it’s fun to see what catches your eye and what references you use

[@DinaNorlund]

Hehe I thought it would be fun to include that, glad you enjoyed it! :D

[@somekoi]

The result is amazing! It's sooo smooth and well balanced, you're a true inspiration when it comes to watercolor artworks. I am currently working on my second video, redrawing some artwork from my followers, also with watercolors - and you inspired me using a pencil for lineart as well, it just looks soo amazing! Thank you so much :)

[@ambedo1156]

While I was sketching ideas I came up with the idea of a forgotten Godess staring at a broken down underwater civilization (probably Atlantis) my favorite part was the hair and the ears! I don’t usually do backgrounds so this was a new thing for me. Loved the video Dina! It was so beautiful I stared at it so much! 😂How do you do it? Thx for doing amazing everyday I love your sketch with me videos. I recently subscribed but I have been following you and Rin for quite a while now

[@brighterthansunshine4355]

That sounds like a really cool illustration!

[@zoehernandez7688]

I mean, this video is gonna be great, dragons, mermaids, and dinas drawing?!?! Epic

[@DinaNorlund]

Yaaaas hope you like it!! :D

[@Sketch_Study]

ooooo that watercolor, and doing the outline in green, so good

[@LunarWind99]

What about Cres like water cress lol :D

[@sharivapradhan2995]

You should name the forgotten god Luminar, God of Fertility.

[@DinaNorlund]

oooo I do like Luminar! :D

[@kimlivengood5916]

WOW, Just WOW. I love this soooo much. And your colors on this are perfect. TYFS

[@DinaNorlund]

Omg thank you

[@DinaNorlund]

Yay that is exactly what they are for

[@loreliejoy5265]

Dina Norlund omg thanks for replying!!😍

[@tomspru]

woah, i cannot believe how cool this looks. I would never have thought a colored pencil would look so natural for line art, but goes along perfectly with the theme of the painting! I like the name eleaf (pronounced e - leaf). Gorgeous as always ❤️❤️❤️

[@DinaNorlund]

Haha thank you! I love experimenting with the coloured lineart, even if the wax of the pencils sort of pushes the water? Not too badly though so it still works

[@alexuscreativespark9808]

[@avnmcreation6257]

i did some alcohol ink abstract paintings while listening/watching you draw. Thanks for the great content! :)

[@RAESP1TE]

Just throwin this up as a possibility since ya said you like the whole mermay sorta thing and I'm not entirely sure if that's because of the theme/subject or overall plan of it: But, if you do like the aspect of having the daily prompt I do know that June has it's own little thing goin for it like May did; that being Jurassic June!

[@DinaNorlund]

Jurassic June is cool! I have also heard of Junicorns and Junebugs xD But I don't know if I could keep it up another month now that I am trying to get Snow Cat done, but maybe when the comic is finished I can do this again!

[@melissavines4454]

Wow! You are so talented, I love this piece!

[@pebblespark9812]

i was drawing a sea-themed dragon a good name for her might be equelie ( eck-you-lee). the last part of the leafy sea dragon is eques, so eque, then add something that goes with it, lee, and twist pronunciation. ( thats my naming process for most things)

Have you thought about taking your drawings and making them into a coloring book to go with your books? I think they would sell well. Also if you would release one of the line art as a competition and the winning entry you publish in your final book.
