The Groke or MΓ₯rran in my language is so fascinating because she represent the cold and lonelyness and she only wants friends it's so deep.

this takes me back to when I was young, dear god she horrified me but i cant help but love this pic.
i love the way she disappears into the darkness, it makes the eyes and mouth stand out, giving it a kinda scary feeling. love it <3

Such lovely line work, making such a delightfully eerie mood. I am reminded a little of an Edward Gorey illustration, which of course makes my heart dance. This is a fantastic piece.

That's just... so alike. I have read the book and it's my favourite from the Moomin books. The picture look first very scary, but the Groke is. And she can't help it. So I say good job.

Wow, I'm almost speechless. I love the creepy feeling in this picture, but still the way Groke looks happy. It gives me goosebumps but I still want to see it again and again. The details and shadows make it pretty realistic.
I have no idea if this comment even makes sence, but I have to say that I really love this picture. It's always awesome to see pretty moomin art.

I still love the groke, he was scary as hell

She used to scare the shit out of me when I was younger, This has just brought back all those memories of late night under the duvet reading.
Truly fantastic work!

I'm scared to death right now. I really am.
That art work is so fucking great. It feels like the Groke could actually pop out of my screen... ;w;

This is really stunning artwork. She looks so terrifying but cute at the same time. That part of the book gave me chills.

OMFG! The Groke is fucking TERRIFYING on this pic! =O And it's such a genuin way of drawing her... She's HUGE, and those hands of hers... I swear, if THAT was the image of the Groke in the books, comics and series, I would have been a hundred times more scared of her than I ever was as a child O.O Fantastic work!

WOW awesome!
Love how you did the hands and creepy eyes xD
Also like how insignificant Moomin looks in comparison! This is GREAT!

That was my favoruite part in that book. Very beutiful picture what keeps same emotions inside, what was in that part of book. I love the lines and how you use high contrast.

This is scary and cute at the same time!
You know what's funny? In Finland, Groke's voice actor was male in the cartoon, so now half of the finnish kids think that she's 'he'. xD

I like this pic! She was my greatest fear through my whole childhood!
And she's really big, which she is suppose to be. That's what's so scary about her, she is big, cold and mostly silent, you don't really know what she's thinking [but she's definitelt in love with Moomin ^^]
Good work!

... I am so very, very intimidated by this picture. Which means it captures the Groke's essence quite accurately.
Excuse me, I'm going to go hide under the bed 'til the panic goes away now.
