Description
An attempt at a little painting of Tove Jansson's Snufkin which ended up being nowhere near as good as I'd hoped, but I sort of like.Related content

This is adorable. A lot of your little characters reminded me of the Moomin valley creatures.

i personaly didnt notice he looked like a giant snufkin till i read the other comments! I love the slightly folk art feel

The 'folk art' feel is easily achieved by a lack of ability to paint!

i would prefer this style than the japanese style cuteness, much more to the finnish spirit. i think it's wonderful![link]

I have no idea what a snufkin is, but he's pretty cool.

Snufkin is an awesome guy who wanders the world, lives in a tent, smokes a big pipe and is pretty damn wise about everything.
You need to brush up on your moomin knowledge.

Thank you.
Haha, only about as big as it is on screen really. It's on watercolour paper which is why you can see the nobbles but I kind of like it.

For some reason I didn't even think that would look weird. I meant it to be more here is snufkin and here are background elements just generally surrounding him like a pattern, but it has ended up just looking like a giant snufkin.
But thanks anyway.

If the background would be differently colored or darker or somethng it would look more like how u said it...

I reckon you could have gotten away with giant Snufkin, if not for the fact that he is standing next to tiny Moomintroll. lol

Haha I see what you mean. I just couldn't resist squeezing him in.
