Description The quality is pretty crappy, but how can you get a proper picture in the middle of the night? D:
So yeah, I've been afraid of Groke since I first time saw her when I was like 3-year-old, and I've had pretty nasty nightmares including her and her blank eyes and a mouth in an everlasting grin..
A few days ago I took a test that would show which Moomin character you would be, and I got Groke. There was a picture of her, and it freaked me out D8 After that I saw her everywhere (stupid me, I posted the pic on the front page on facebook DX) and every time I felt like screaming D: She was on my school books, all over the internet..
So I decided to try to overcome my fear, and it's been working pretty well. And now I feel kinda sorry for her >: First of all, I learned that she is a girl (it was a pretty big shock to me) and that she's very lonely. Well of course, she friggin' freezes everything she touches !
I think of her as a sympathetic character, and ever since I've had this big desire to draw her~ And I thought that becouse Snufkin is pretty much of aloner too, they would fit together pretty well : D And I've allways thought he's pretty adorable too~ (Although I like his father the best <3)
Sorry for babbling :'DD

Have you read 'A reason to travel' by skyfinder here on DA? It's a fan comic mostly about Snufkin, and it includes several scenes of Snufkin and the Groke communicating. At first I even thought that your artwork was a fanart to this comic.
If you haven't read it, I'd highly recommend it ^^
