WOOOOOOOO IM SO EXCITED

[@CreatureCabin]

THIS IS SO CUTE

[@Durpy_Plays]

This was so cool, your videos never fail to make my day

[@Durpy_Plays]

Also my mom was born 1980

[@CreatureCabin]

This is such a sweet comment :,)) thank you!

[@merakistudios3921]

As for the magical species with no magic, I think it’s perfectly fine to go that way! Think of the show Bojack Horseman, it has humans as well as anthropomorphic animals living simultaneously. I would love the concept of having weird magical creatures in a seemingly normal-ish setting. Makes for a fun story! (edit for spelling)

[@CreatureCabin]

Aw you think so? I’ll certainly have to think about it then! Thank you!

[@moonthehybrid7854]

I love her new design!!! Also about the human design Fun fact it took 12 years for me to finally have a human story and design I am now 13 and finally have one It’s a horror book and I was going to make it animal like Like my other story claws of power But that was getting boring to draw every single day so human design It’s simple like one has black hair a red sweater and the other has a sweater and a skirt But it’s still fun to draw I like how you do these designs and how much you’ve improved I love Ronnie curly puffy hair like I could never do that Once again this new design is amazing and I love it

[@CreatureCabin]

Cheers for improvement!! I’m glad you’re able to get outside your creative box!

I don't think a world with Fantasy creatures HAS to have magic. Onward is one story I can think of where the world started off in an age without magic and reintroduces it to society. It's not exactly a place without it, but it introduced the idea. If messing with the idea of adding magic, or a form of it, to your story, maybe it could be a way to further divide the people? Love your in depth videos, it's an amazing process you have and it creates beautiful character ☺️

[@CreatureCabin]

Ooh interesting concept! I’ll have to think on that one! Thank you!

[@MothBitez]

I absolutely adore all the gangs new designs so far!! They're all so amazing and I love Ronnie's new hair so much!! It's so cute 😭💖💞💖💞💖💞 You did an amazing job Mo!!

[@CreatureCabin]

AAA thank you! I’ve been really loving the design process recently

[@KunziteKay]

I just wanna say. Thank you for this video. I was having this moment of just. Dark. And was sitting alone crying. Then I got the discord notification for this video and ended up curling up in the chair I was in and laying on the arm to watch this. And it was just such a good thing in that moment to help me. None of this is like from the video lol. But I just wanted to let you knowwww. Btw I loveeeeeeeeee love love Ronnie's curls now 🥰💚💚💚

[@CreatureCabin]

Oh dude :( I hope you’re doing better now. I’m sorry you were having a rough night. I’m glad this was able to help in some way and I hope your smile returns soon!!

[@ChaoticMarko]

5:16 Cause fantasy is fun 👍

[@CreatureCabin]

TRUE!!

[@Puppo_Dog]

I am also like that, in the sense that I don't really draw humans, I think its because it makes it easier to make a recignisable sillohuete? (Its actually just because I like my characters to have tails, but I can pretend I'm being smart about it if I want to)

[@CreatureCabin]

That’s true! There’s a lot more room for creativity when you aren’t restricted by what’s human! ((It’s okay I also just like giving my characters tails))

[@mossyinks]

I loved this!!!!! Her design has come so far!

[@CreatureCabin]

Thank you!

[@LifesLines69]

I absolutely think it's fine for mythical creatures to not have magic. Yeahhumansarekindofboring - but it's fun to not be so sterotypical with like "This elf is a very nature based" - Like I think it's cool Ronnie, who is an elf, seems to heavily rely on her walkie-talkie that's very out of the box. There can also be a magic substitute like very complicated tools if this is the steampunk era Maybe someone uses a flute looking tool or something that can manipulate water or one that can conjure and form ice if this person is wearing certain gear etc In the end it is up to you but to answer your initial question having fantasy creatures with no magic is 100% natural. I mean to them maybe they'd consider us fantasy creatures and we don't have magic (unfornately-)

[@CreatureCabin]

Aaah thank you! That’s very reassuring honestly. I’ve never considered not using magic in my stories bevause it’s always been a thing in everything I wrote; but this is a very new type of story for me so eh; we’ll see where it goes!! Thank you!! Very good ideas :D

[@Jesus-sj4yz]

Make their races have something to do with world building like different races are often more assigned to different jobs, like zootopia you'll often see bigger animals as police officers because that's how their society is built Elves could definitely have different cultures than other races in this story too, that'd be interesting to see if they have any traditions depending on how traditional her family is But in the end you could also just use the rule of cool for character design

[@CreatureCabin]

Oooh that’s an interesting idea! Thank you!

[@meadowofstars]

i had an idea while rewatching this again! you mention running out of things to talk about in these videos, so why dont you take questions about the character youre working on before you do the voiceover? that way, you dont have to shorten the video at all, but if/when you run out of talking points you can reach into the (metaphorical, or literal if you want idk) basket of questions to find something else to talk about! plus, fun fan interaction :D

[@CreatureCabin]

OUUUUU THATS A FANTASTIC IDEA!! Thank you so much!! I will definitely use this :D Thank you again!!

[@meadowofstars]

@@CreatureCabin no problem! im happy to help :D

[@blipblop6786]

Hey i just got recommended an old video of yours thats dsmp fanart i was just wondering if your still in that fandom/nm

[@CreatureCabin]

Ah no I’m not. I privated the video a while ago but Unprivated it because i like how the piece turned out. I don’t really associate myself with that fandom. I would say I’m only associated by watching sneeg but I don’t think he was ever in dsmp anyway haha. But the only person from that whole scene I watch consistently these days is sneeg

[@blipblop6786]

@@CreatureCabin thank your for replying!! I love your content ❤️❤️ 💕 sorry if it seemed like i was interrogating you!

[@CreatureCabin]

@@blipblop6786 haha no no don’t worry it’s okay!! Thank you for sticking around :D
