Fanart!

[lazombinella]

As I'm a big fan of cross-over fanart, I had to try the Moomin theme once again:
Moomins-in-an-Art-Museum

Primadonna-Guy-and-Rosy-Mount some of you have already seen on tumblr but here he is again. :D

Are some of you familiar with Moomins? To those who aren't (yet), let this wikipedia article or enlihgten you. ;) Moomins are very popular here in

Holy shit! You're amazing!

The first one was amusing, but the second one truly combines the magnificence of the early art of Eroica with the Moomins style! How did you manage that?! Love it!

(Also, yes, when I was in Japan I bought some cookies thinking they would be typically Japanese and they were actually typically Finnish because they depicted the Moomins!)

[lazombinella]

Thanks! I'm flattered, because that was exactly my intention. :)

Wow, I hope it was not too disappointing for you to get something finnish instead of japanish when you bought those cookies! X)

Ah, the moomins ... would Misha be kinda Moerkoe? :) Or rather just a moomin as well, with sunglasses? :)

[lazombinella]

Many thanks of your comment! :) I really had to think about Mischa's moominversion and finally came up with a (somewhat Mörkö-like) one. The picture is now added as a link to my original post. ;)

Wonderful! You know I've been wanting to see your Eroica/Moomin pics for ages…! ;-) I like both pics as they are both cleverly done but the first one makes me giggle with all the jargon Dorian uses…so typically Dorian and so typically Klaus!

So true about Moomin's popularity in Japan - in fact there is even a Moomin cafe in Tokyo!! It was full of women (not kids as one might expect) and if you happen to go there alone, a life-sized soft toy of Moomin characters of your choice will sit with you to keep your company…lol Yes only in Japan…I know! You can see some pics of the Moomin cafe here: http://girlabouttown.blog.fc2.com/blog-category-2.html

Thanks, I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds Dorian's speech funny. ;) Especially I thought that it would be funny in comparison with Klaus' less sopisticated mental remarks (pretty much like in canon too).
Btw I added now a third picture to the post, this time it's about moominversions of certain KGB agents.

I didn't know there was even a moomin cafe in Tokyo! If I ever get to visit Tokyo, I also want to visit this cafe - it's just too peculiar a thing to miss! :D But then again to be honest here in Finland there is a complete moomin theme park called Moominworld (located in Naantali on the south-west coast of Finland). I've only visited it once as a small child, and I believe it's mainly designed for children and families (unlike the moomin cafe in Tokyo, I guess).

thx for the fan arts :D they are nice !!! I knew Moomin since I'm a child because my mother handed me a book about Moomin :o I didn't get into it though ._.

[lazombinella]

Thanks! :) I'm also not a big fan of moomins, but they offered a too good a chace to draw some crossover fanart... I couldn't resist. X)
(Also as a kid I used to wach moomin animation series like all other finnish children so I can't really overlook the nostalgia it includes.)

Awww, so sweet!!

Yes, I'm Swedish and grew up with Moomins too (in Swedish Mumin). Adorable!! Nice work!

[lazombinella]

Thanks! :)
I didn't know moomins were popular in Sweden too, although the author of original moomin series was a swedish-speaking Finn.

[annelislashfan]

Oh yes, they were very popular here too. I guess the simliar climates made it easy to envision Mumindalen (where they live) for us too. :)

[lazombinella]

Very likely. Especially the idea of sleeping the whole winter thruogh sounds very attractive alternative here in north. ;)
