I Love The Sketches!!! There Absolutely Lovely! ^^

I love the sketches!!! There absolutely lovely! ^^

I had a conversation tonight with a certain friend of mine (@the-artist-from-hell ). During that the possibility of Core Narrator came up. And well, long story short; it would have been a shame not to draw him so here we are. First traditional version cause my laptop takes ages to boot and it’s late, the digital remake will follow tomorrow.

Additional doodles under the cut cause I couldn’t help myself.

Voting season you guys!! All moomin fans place your votes!!! My votes are on mr hemulen from the 90’s series and or wimsy-

Welcome to the first round of the Best Hemulen Bracket!

I am your host, @flowerbloom-arts, and over the next few weeks we are going to pick our favorite hemulens from each pair, carefully selected according to commonality.

There are many, many hemulens in the Moomin franchise as a whole, but who is the best?

After careful considering, I sadly must only pick 32 of them to compete against eachother. You may not know some of them, but I will be providing information on each one for each poll!

Polls:

Side 1:

Mr. Hemulen (bug collector) vs Mr. Hemulen (plant collector)

Aunt Hemulen vs Nana's Fiance/Mr. Hemulen's Nephew

Party Dresser vs Riviera Boutique Keep

Charity Volunteer vs La Goona

The Pisciculturist vs the Philatelist

The Botanist vs the Zoologist

The Inspector vs Henry

Officer 1 (Moomin Begins a New Life) vs Officer 2 (Moomin Builds a House)

Side 2

The House Seller vs Sadling

Wimsy vs the Big Hemulen

The Park Keeper vs the Park Wardress

The Small Hemulen vs the Jailer

The Orphanage Principal vs the Hemulen Aunt

The November Hemulen vs the Hemulen Who Loved Silence

Dragon Adopter vs Intruder

Hatton the Prospector vs the Muffle

Here are some reasons why I chose these hemulens in particular, you may skip this part:

1. I didn't pick any 2019 Hemulens because they tended to be rather muddled adaptations of other pre-existing hemulens. You may consider those versions when it comes to voting if you'd like, but be warned, nearly none of them are accurate to the source material.

2. The Hemulens had to have atleast 2 panels of dialog (the Charity Volunteer) or a relevant role to the story's plot (the Dragon Adopter and Intruder). So, apologies to the cowboy Hemulens from Moomin Goes Wild West and the like.

3. These are honestly the 32 I could remember off the top of my head, there were a handful few others but these were the ones I was personally interested in enough to remember.

4. Sadly some resources are unavailable to me like the Fuzzy Felt adaptation, so if there were any hemulens exclusive to that show that you were confused as to why they weren't included, I'm very sorry.

5. Some characters are either in a grey area or difficult to tell if they're meant to be hemulens, so I picked those who are unmistakably hemulens or atleast generally accepted as such.

Man this is me-

Ok but can we talk about this narrator design??? Simple yet cool! I love the yellow glasses and the shortness of his untied neck tie shows it would probably be a bow tie- and over all I just like the vibe of this art- in short? I wanna just- give some attention to one of my favorite artists on this app.

What is control but an illusion in itself?
