[@oftenretold]

axolotl and raccoon? this thing is about to be me in animal form

[@shadowwolf4658]

Same here sister

[@krakslot0]

Oftenretold No you are just an axolotl! I can see your profile picture!😏

[@notusingthischannel5658]

i am three axoltol;s in a human skin trench coat

[@mosstoucher]

I'm so excited that you hit 100k. I heard you say that you were about to and had to check because I thought you were at like 1m. I'm honestly surprised that you arent. Your art is amazing, I love your personality and I am so in love with these videos

[@DinaNorlund]

Aw thank you so much! I'm loving all the comments and people joining lately and I think 100k is a massive milestone and I'm super happy haha

[@soekieloekiekaassouffle5950]

weird isn't it.. some art related youtubers who make lesser art to be honest have more subscribers.. probably has to do with algorithms or something

[@mira-wo7lx]

Honestly tho, there are too many underated artists, and this channel is at the top.

[@jessic.6300]

Awe my hubby called it a Striped panraxol lols I think he's adorable

[@Kateca2000]

Jessi C. Panraxol actually sounds pretty cool

[@yoongithesadrat1431]

Recently subscribed :) I love your intro a little to much...

[@DinaNorlund]

Haha thank you! How many times do you replay it? :o

[@ermalando4401]

three times every new vid for me lol

[@haz3y334]

literally same hahaha

[@wonder3761]

Can I somehow save this comment because I literally can't relate more! 😂

[@yoongithesadrat1431]

AnimaLover _ lol 😂

[@Saxinful]

I met a Pangolin when I was in Zimbabwe! They're so gorgeous and shy. His carer loves him like another child, and they can't be separated or the little pangolin gets really sad. He carried the pangolin in a backpack, it was adorable!

[@tcsproductions4244]

I don't know what you're gonna call this card collection, but I think it would be cool if it were "Norlund''s Fantastic Beastiary".

[@RamenDoggos]

Poor dina. I hope you feel better. I hear your sniffles. be sure to drink some tea and to get some rest too! We don't want you to be stressed

[@ri0t3rr]

water squirrel. this is a water squirrel.

[@finch1716]

The sea scavenger maybe? Or the aquatic pangolin Or the aquatic niffler The armored sea raccoon :p Oh! Oh! The sunset sea pangolin! 😤 -\(°_°)/-

[@takeashotelliot9045]

Pixil Wolf armoured sea raccoon and sea scavenger are good ones

[@acecornish4999]

I love the "Armored sea raccoon"

[@Chrissyboyoyoy]

Aquatic niffler is perfect!

[@Yamina]

It looks like a little River Squirrel! I love this adorable design :) and congrats on 100k

[@Yamina]

@Eclipse Shadow yes but river otters already exist. River Squirrel does not :)

[@inkanddreams4677]

Name, The Pirate Fiend. Backstory, Known for hitching rides on the ships of pirates and running to anywhere that spells of booze, treasure and all things fun, the water scavenger, more commonly known as the Pirate Fiend, Is a feisty little beast with its own sense of humor. Many pirates take them aboard their ships as companions for their friendly demeanor and nose for valuables. Though they are a rare find, so most pirates who find them are quite lucky.

[@bizzybreeillustrations2158]

PLEASE call it a Masked Pangalottle! hahaha love it so much

[@kaeltv]

Congrats for 100k ✨✌️ your work it’s amazing 🤓

[@DinaNorlund]

Thank you so much!! :D

[@chadjohnny328]

you all probably dont give a damn but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!

[@arturoreign6118]

@Chad Johnny Instablaster ;)

[@chadjohnny328]

@Arturo Reign i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@chadjohnny328]

@Arturo Reign It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account !

[@borkborkie5471]

I love watching her select her reference photos bc her reactions are amazing bc I can relate, and then she also sometimes throws in a "help support this animal" or a fun little fact and it always makes me so happy xD

[@EjderhaDraws]

29:45 I just saw mine and I'm so happy lol also omg I love Pangolins and Racoons, both my fave creatures and the way you combined them was so cute!

[@DinaNorlund]

Yay! I love featuring all your amazing designing

[@mjpete27]

First congratulations! Second when you enjoy producing the video, we enjoy so much more watching, and participating! Drawing along with you even if we do not post or share is fun! Thank you for providing such endearing content. You are such a joy to draw along with and listen to even when your not feeling well. Have a wonderful day and Congratulations again! 102902 as of my post!

[@eden1479]

Can I just say, her sketches are so cute, like gurl, that would be like an hour of work for me and it probably still wouldn’t look as cute! 👏👏 *talent* and honey did I mention her colours and creativity 😦

[@Sufficio]

Yay! I love this series, I binged them all after discovering you from Waffle's channel!

[@Hon_Comi]

Tips : let your watercolor dry Dina: I don't think soooooooo~

[@larsssssssssssss]

HES ADORABLE 🥰🥰🥰I just wanna hug him

[@suruystudios4842]

Awesome creatures. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@punpkinpi2015]

This came out soo cute! I'm happy you added in the pangolin and some info about them, not many know how endangered the little guys are!

[@artsyrose9780]

I do the same thing. I love creating new creatures and cards. Your work is beautiful.

[@noproaxolotldragon8627]

I can see this creature being like a oasis deity, or some other kind of special body of water.

[@widdershins8837]

Just Imagine this creature swimming around with its derpy little legs! So cute!

[@Maria-sj2gg]

I always love seeing your process in creating these gorgeous critters!

[@FruityPeachie]

i really love the close-up real-time angled shots, and i wouldn’t mind if there was more of it either! after all i’m sure a lot of your subscribers are artists as well (i am too!) so it’s really nice to see the intricacies of the lines, and the painting as well

[@S_Rose_Myth]

I love your creature design videos. This morning I actually was watching one of your creature design vids Dina could you do more sculpture creature design pls

[@melindawolfUS]

SO CUTE! Thanks for chilling with us today even though you didn't feel well. That's very professional of you ;)

[@mochi5208]

I haven’t been drawing at all this year but I remembered how much I liked drawing with you in the background so I started again today and drew sketch after sketch, started organizing references on Pinterest like you do and really got back into it (for now at least) and I want to thank you for that. Your videos are great to either just watch but they’re perfect to draw to so please continue your 'draw with me's 💕💕💕

[@lilkookii]

This is literally one of the coolest and cutest things ever !!! You're amazing!!!

[@greenwhite2087]

Congrats! 100K! Keep up producing great videos. Random Creature Design is one of my favorite feature on your channel

[@marjagpe.c6798]

My only regret is not finding your channel sooner!! Your style is gorgeous and your personality is so lovely

[@DinaNorlund]

Aww but hey now at least you have lots of vids to binge haha xD Even the cringy early ones

[@xylasasilk5275]

Congrats on 100k, so awesome. A fuj name for the little guy could be a Pangolotl, the scavenger of the sea. Ot follows around mermaids and sirens looking for leftovers and loves getting attention. It would make a great underwater pet XD

[@TealKorby]

These are so much fun! Now I want to go back and watch all the other creature creations

[@rose_the_vermin]

I love your art style, and just how realistic it looks. I try to draw animals slightly realistic, but demons are what I put most detail into. I just subscribed to you, and I hope you're fine with me getting a bit of inspiration from your artwork!

[@breadbake8896]

Idk why but I was expecting Rin’s voice and I was *_startled_*

[@DinaNorlund]

Hahaha wrong channel I'm afraid xD Aww I should get her to do a random creature design

[@mosstoucher]

@@DinaNorlund agreed.

[@MADDIEEEEEE363]

It would be sooooo awesome if these creature drawings could be made into a coloring book!!!

[@peanutbutter5418]

You are so talented, your animals are really fun and creative too.

[@iamdog4864]

I fell asleep to this video... Your voice is so relaxing!

[@drippypopsicles]

i love how it looks like the crustacean phoenix is popping off of the card!

[@Ana36377]

Hi Dina! Congrats for reaching 100K! Love your videos - especially the random creature designs! I think you should call it the Mexican Water Armadillo. Found only in freshwater lakes througout central Mexico, this highly endangered creature is elusive and hard to spot. It is omnivorous and eats a diet of algae, aquatic plants, insects, small fish and small amphibians. It is an amphibious mammal, meaning it can live on both water and land. Its scales are both in the colour of dirt and the bottom of lakes and rivers to camouflage it from aerial predators, and when attacked, it can roll into a ball to protect itself. Its feathery appendages on its face are not gills (even though it resembles the gills of an axolotl) but something that helps it to attract a partner. Webbed paws help it swim. Its ideal habitat is the damp land beside lakes and villages. Sadly, this creature is endangered as people hunt them for their scales, thought to bring good luck. I hope you like this description for this creature! It looks really cute!

[@Nartec]

Oh Gosh so cute!! Love the combination and what you did with it! For a name maybe Armoured Sand Scrambler? 'cause i can totally see this animal scramble around in and around tide pools and beaches haha

[@acisverycool]

Why are these all on my list of favorite animals. I have a raccoon and pangolin shirt but, sadly not an axolotl shirt. This is the best thing ever!

[@mystic-blu9148]

And your creature designs are adorable!!!

[@silverserienty9384]

OH! We should make a Pokemon like game with all your creatures :D

[@UVHoneybee]

So sad to hear of your passing ♡♡ i just found this channel and have been enchanted by your bubbly positive attitude and seemingly effortless creativity. This little guy came out so cute, and i cant help but wonder what you would be creating now. R.I.P 💔

[@CarolynsArtAdventures]

A great set of animals to work with! I love the result!

[@aubreyvictoria320]

“They’re like little dragons!” while drawing a literally smiley face 😂

[@ngannguyen-un1ef]

I like your videos , i enjoy the moments when you draw and talk about your creature design

[@DinaNorlund]

Thank you!! :D

[@tabletopfriends694]

The "soft" look is really nice.

[@nyxzieeee]

Congratz on 100k! The first time I saw your full sketch my brain went "draconic platypus" and I can't heart anything anymore. Sidenote, I really, really love you creature art. Most of the youtube artists I follow specialize in people ((mainly cause i specialize in people whoops)) but your creature drawings are really amazing compared to the rest of the art content I consume

[@SnuhpiMcFinn]

Gratz for 100k!!!!! Love your work and always looking forward to your videos

[@ThatOneLadyOverHere]

You're so cute when you're excited!

[@rebola466]

It looks so cute! I imagine it lives in small ponds and feeds off of larvae or small crustaceans, since pangolins use their sticky tongues to eat insects. And every now and then they walk over to the next pond to eat there :>

[@cherryisland]

Hi Dina, Congratulations for 100k!! I'm really happy for you! 😊🎉 You're such a sweet and wonderful person and a huge inspiration to me. :> Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us. :D Love your creature designs and drawwithme-videos, it's nice and so relaxing to watch you draw and talk or just to draw together ^^ I wish you all the best! God bless! ^^

[@camilabarranco5435]

This mix was so perfect, the animals by themselves already looked like pokemons. You made such an interesting and beautiful creature. Love this searies a lot. Congratulations on 100k

[@EMcnee]

Love him! Your art is always so beautiful and such a big inspiration for me ☺️☺️

[@luolizen7701]

I'm obsessed with your intro- I was a little startled since I thought you'd have way over at least 300k, but apparently not, congrats!

[@DinaNorlund]

Haha yay thank you! :D 100k is a lot and I'm so happy for all you new people joining in the community!

[@azkainer4204]

congrats on the 100k dina !! you compeltely deserve it. you have such a unique and lovely style and your command of stylized realism is stunning~

[@pipitameruje]

I just have to leave a comment. I found you through your collab with Drawingwiffwaffles, then I found your creature videos (the one with the bat/ shrimp/ vaquita mix, which turned out bloody gorgeous) and I just had to hit subscribe and binge watch your videos. I absolutely adore your realistic style in these! I'm hooked and I now want to draw animals like you do

[@ermalando4401]

armored water dog ready for battle! fighting beside the mermaids of course and also congrad!!! :D

[@camusarchetype9326]

[@Bambau]

yes!! I love Vaquitas! (which means little cow in spanish.) I wish more people knew about them so we could save them from extinction.

[@colbysmith2712]

It looks like it should be called the banded marsh pangolin. I really love your work can't wait to see what you have next.

[@DinaNorlund]

Aw thats an awesome name!! Might use that :O

[@indigo2712]

He looks so beautiful

[@erinw8149]

I love this so much raccoons and axolotls don't get enough love and this art is beautiful

[@DinaNorlund]

Aw thank you so much! I love both of them hehe

[@aruraven]

This one is a fav for sure! From the thumbnail I thought it was an axolotl mixed with a tanuki but there was pagolin in the mix!

[@delilahdude3041]

Grats on 100k! I’m feeling super inspired to try my hand at a creature this month!

[@videnlu966]

[@canopyleaf9152]

This is my first video, and I love it! You are super talented! The creature was super cute, and I've subbed already!

[@emdove]

[@JenniferCharleeArt]

This is SO adorable! I've been wanting to start a somewhat similar series but with merging animals with plants since that's my favorite thing ^_^
