im still thinking about how tove jansson was unmatched character designer too, bcos i feel that, as much as i love most of cartoon adaptations, none of them managed to capture the vibe of original illustrations perfectly. like, her lines are very distinct, yet simple, and convey the essence of the character fully through shapes (mostly round moomins), face, hair and clothes details (like, hemulin looks exactly like old nerd, snufkin wearing expeditors hatand coat,etc). i hope its already being studied

#moomin #the moomins #character design #and omg moomins have tails too thats some new level of greatness #her illustrations are so dynamic and humorous also
