HI Dina Norland I have a question if that's ok with you, Is the "The snow cat prince" be available on amazon once the Kickstarter funds ends. If not then will it be available on your store?

[@adamkovacs5883]

I know this folktale :) Hungarians have their own folktales quite a lot but also collected some from all over the world and this was one of them. 😊

[@moiratrias232]

I'll usually watch you when I'm sketching, but then I'll get distracted at what you're drawing.

[@thedabblingwarlock]

The pose you're talking abut is one of those classic pinup poses. Searching for Fur Coat Pinup will get you what you're looking for, and a good bit of stuff that you aren't. No links 'cause NSFW and all that.

[@thedabblingwarlock]

Wow, wasn't really thinking this one deserved a heart. Thanks :)

[@eg-draw]

It reminds me about cruella de vill xD

[@alissagao9450]

E G EXACTLY when she was looking for references I was like search cruella de vil omfg

[@PhoenixFlight8D]

Selkie are one of my favorite mythological beings, next to fauna and nagas/lamias. If you want to watch a nice movie, even though its directed towards kids, Song of the sea is a really good one about selkie

[@nan1779]

Song of the Sea, anyone? :) Btw, your art is SO beautiful! ❤ ❤ ❤ It's enchanting and inspiring.

[@ChiliCatCreates]

A friend recently showed me that movie and we went to Ireland together and I SWEAR I HEARD IT in the WAVES standing at the cliffs or Inishmore. I bawled my eyes out xD that movie is insanely beautiful 😭❤️ But so is Dinas Art! 💯Percent agreed! ✨ 💖

[@LunaBianca1805]

OMG, a total yes from me. I really liked that one and (stupid me doesn't go through the comment section before) just posted about that, too ^^'. I saw your comment just now 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@alexp7016]

If you love that one, consider The Secret of Kells! It's by the same people and it's more of the same heartbreakingly beautiful work

[@nan1779]

@@alexp7016 Oh, I've heard of it! But never had the chance to see it. Gotta watch it. :) ...and prepare a box of tissues...

[@nan1779]

@@ChiliCatCreates Lucky! One day I want to go to Ireland...anywhere around the world actually. I'm sure it was breathtaking. ❤

[@JuliaBart]

Hi Dina! I I tried to get in touch with you everywhere, but I don’t get an answer :( So I'll try here) Im literally in love with your channel, beautiful style and so much cool insparation ideas! Especially your random creature design challange! I REALLY wanna to try it by myself. So, heres my question - Can I make a similar series of videos? (with other random animals and design, of course) Sure, I will provide a link to your channel as the creator of idea! Best wishes, Julia ❤

[@cogwun]

Never heard of a Selkie until I watched the animated movie "song of the sea". Wonderful movie and a beautiful painting

[@quinn9256]

I love that movie! it's such a cute mystical but emotional film

[@lornawestwick6704]

Incredible. I love the spots on the seals and on her. Such a tiny detail that just makes it feel all the more magical.x

[@LunaBianca1805]

Just thought someone might like this, too.(At least if you like this type of myth and are into classical animated movies as I am) There's an animated movie called Song of the Sea from, I guess, Ireland which is losely woven around the selkie myth, which I found absolutely endearing. The score's pretty sweet, too 🥰

[@lovebats]

The seal in the left corner looking up at her is my favourite 💙💙💙

[@ThatOneLadyOverHere]

That seal is totally diving for that fish. Yum!

[@Jo-fo7tg]

Please excuse me, now I need to watch “Song of The Sea”.

[@sharonsartisticcorner1195]

Golden Selkie for being a budget movie, it was quite beautiful

[@Jo-fo7tg]

Haha! Budget really doesn’t affect how beautiful a film can be! 😂

[@shaephillips6512]

Man i love that movie!!!! Its so pretty and beautiful and just uhg! So good!

[@Lea-np8rs]

I cried like 20 minutes after it because it was so beautiful. I’m not lying really it was one of the cutest and wonderful movies I ever saw

[@NotesNNotes]

so good

[@Lollipop-jj9vd]

She's magic. I love it! *happily skips off to binge watch your videos* 💜

[@bulletsfordinner8307]

I've seen descriptions where they say selkies can assume the shape of a horse with a long'hair' and invite people on going on their back and they they drown people by jumping with them on their back into the water drowning them. It was interesting PS. I meant Kelpie it's a different creature but I love it

[@Emmaa54347]

Those are Kelpies

[@flibbertigibbetfish]

I love selkies so much, especially because there are some other renditions in other countries and cultures.

[@lorettabes4553]

Thanks for showing/telling what you used. So many amazing artist never say what materials they use just when you see something you like :)

[@Dragonmastur]

I love how excited you got when you realized you have a hair dryer. It was adorable.

[@johnmerginio7938]

Please make this a series!!! All about mythical creatures!!✨

[@offrostandflames589]

Ugh I'm so mad I missed it when it came out cause that print is GORGEOUS and I want one

[@sodiumdianna6857]

In some tales it says that selkies are previous humans who died drowning

[@fartmaster684]

Daya Dragon selfies

[@lividjesmar]

it's so satisfying watching your clean tiny strokes, and it makes me all tingly from it! Your art's so nice :D

[@magda23792]

You can also find the pose if you look up Marilyn Monroe in fur coat.

[@littlekitsune1]

I think some bubbles here and there underwater would add a little to it, but very beautiful painting! I've never been able to get water quite right, but the colors you used really worked and made things come together nicely. Also I kept thinking of Cruella DeVille when you were mentioning the fur coat pose, LOL.

[@Amanda-lg5fj]

She turned out amazing!!!! I love the atmosphere and all the details, and all the seals swirling around are just adorable.

[@ourabouras]

Lovely illustration, I immediately thought of Rihanna wearing that stunning mustard yellow Guo Pei cloak/gown to the Met Gala a couple years ago, where she posed with the collar just slipping off her shoulder. I’m also a big fan of Selkies thanks to the movie Song of the Sea and love when artist make art featuring them.

[@vitulapaahan]

Watching your lining process is hypnotic! And I love your style.

[@mjpete27]

Lovely video, once again you exceeded the expectations of your viewers! Keep going as you are and we are truly happy the book is proceeding and looking forward to seeing a sneak peek or two? Have a lovely day!

[@moonsong3964]

So beautiful

[@gisellemarte]

I love this! 😍😍😍 i just started posting drawing with me videos, because im loving this art community. Amazing work!

[@melissavines4454]

Beautiful piece, I hope I can draw things fluffy since I saw how you drew the seal coat.

[@mjpete27]

Anne McCaffery is an Irish author, she is most famous for her Dragon books but she has a series based on a sentient planet , “The powers that be” “Power Lines” There is a selkie character in those stories! You might give her a look see. . . I hope anyone else who might be interested go have a great read! Oh when I was in college one of my instructors had us put our watercolor boards into a convection oven, one with a fan and we would use it to force dry our watercolor paintings! I believe that a measly hairdryer would be a simpler drying method! Do what works! You can do everything you feel is necessary to finish your painting.

[@dennydraws8083]

Can’t wait to see more cards!! They are so cool and professional. Beautiful work! I also make drawing videos!!

[@janemaguire3761]

My power would either be to shape shift but I would LOVE to be able to draw anything and make it real

[@moondripart4083]

This is so awesome!! Love the color pallet on this 😁🙌🏼

[@briannasawyer9604]

I was drawing with u as well. I was drawing a little boy mermaid holding a shell. also I love your art style, it is soooo cute!!!

[@tyrell8267]

This is never gonna be a myth 😉 Because it is and Will forever be amazing

[@christineingram55]

She’s absolutely gorgeous..I love all the seals around her and the background in general..All painted beautifully ,but I know all your work is don from your heart 😀

[@iasnessy6701]

You know if you had the ability to shape shift you would be a powerhouse of a hero considering how creative you are. You would be able to turn yourself into some pretty epic things!

[@watercreator]

Such a wonderful drawing / painting!

[@martinez1620]

Dina your art is always so so pretty to look at and it’s always a blessing to have such a lovely online drawing partner 💘💘 but what really drives everything home is the amount of friendliness and positivity in the comments 😭😭 everyone is so sweet

[@ivygilliam5168]

This is so beautiful! I really love the tiny touches of pink/red arounds her hands and shoulders!

[@ThatOneLadyOverHere]

I was gonna say that I imagine the inside of the coat is furry and we're seeing the inside of the coat, but then you made the arms furry too.

[@Thalia7777]

Your art is simply amazing! I honestly love how I get to watch your videos and always get surprised with your creativity

[@asaltyem0826]

Thank you for making these so much they are my favorite things to watch while I do my art. I admire people who can be good enough and confident enough to show people there art!!

Wooo I *LOVE* mythology!! I'm so happy yayyy 💛💛💛💛

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

I was born in Newcastle! Well, technically just outside of it in Northumberland. I miss the Northumbrian Coastline. 😊 ❤️ There's actually a lovely channel on here run by a man who dives with some very special seals off the Northumbrian coast. If you're interested, search for 'Ben Burville'. She's beautiful, I love the way you gave her a 'Human Seal' face. 😊 My favourite story about Selkie's is 'Seal Skin, Soul Skin' in a book called 'Women who Run with the Wolves' by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. I highly recommend it. 😊

[@Post.Script.Studio]

Hey Dina and fellow subscribers what is your favorite mythological creature and why? I think mine would be hybrids like a combo of a werewolf & vampire or a witch & vampire combo. I love the vampire dairies and the original so I think that’s where my soft spot for them started.

[@demonheart13]

Love the drawing and love Selkies in particular. (When Pokemon Sun & Moon came out i got a Popplio and named him Selkie. Non of my friends knew why, but he is now in my top 3 pokemon I love. In the whole series.

[@milo14564]

A fun selkie movie, The Secret of Roan Inish.

Can you make a sketchbook tour when you finish it ? Merci pour cette vidéo, bisous de France😘😁

[@lalalandofclouds]

This is soooo pretty I love it 😍😍

[@lisandepuredream9056]

aaa here's something I do if the paper curls up/buccles. Put a cloth on top of it and just iron it XD idk if you could burn it accidentally or if the colros are affected? It never happened for me yet but I guess it depends on the heat of the iron, the cloth you use and the watercolors brand

[@debramartinez1975]

She's beautiful! I love it!

[@VictorRodriguezArt]

It came out great. I just recieved my first piece from you, the pearl finish on the post card is a nice touch.

[@Sapphire_Dicson_Official]

So recently OverlySarcasticProductions did a compilation of animal bride stories, one such story was of a selkie. If you want to learn more about them you can go there. Mind you the stories are shortened as Red and blue tend to do summaries which does a good job of introducing topics to people and get them interested in doing their own research.

[@ikolit9431]

I feel like the pose you were looking for in the beginning was the "Grandma, it's me, Anastasia" pose.

[@DinaNorlund]

Omg haha haha YES

[@alexrandomz8198]

I love it but how would it look like with a red moon and sky??

Last year a seal got so close to me while I was swimming in the sea. Maybe a 100 meters away. Probably because I was making a lot of noise at my dog trying to get him into the water. I was kinda scared though, cuz I didn't know if they were harmless or not.

That was inspiring Dina, such a beautiful job! I'm new to the channel, so maybe you already talked about this, but how do you transform this art into a digital format? Do you scan or take a picture and then move to the computer? I'm loving watching your videos. Cheers.

What kind of sketchbook do you use i feel like it would be good for comics

[@KatieZebra55]

Hey Dina, gorgeous artwork as always. I just wanted to make you aware that the two sections at the end of seals are technically feet, that is why they have claws on the end it's the same for the two 'flippers' towards the head. They are in fact hands. Seals do have a tail it's rather short though and is in between the rear 'flippers'. You get a great view on this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/anyqmJ-Na8iLbMU I just wanted to make you aware in case you ever drew seals or selkies again. The art was amazing anyway despite this. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.
