And here is my second animation in Procreate Dreams! This time it’s a little Moomin scene.

This started off simply as a test to see if Dreams could do multi-plane camera effects, but it quickly got out of hand and took me WAY longer than I thought it would.

The problem was that in order to have the closeup shot look decent, i had to have an extremely large canvas and had to paint the background with much more detail than I normally would. In addition, it still needed to be able to fit the much smaller resolution insert of the window opening. I’ve never had to paint a scene in 4K resolution before and that presented a lot of challenges for my poor outdated iPad. Getting the right amount of detail and aligning the two layers was much more trouble than I anticipated and resulted in a lot of trial and error.

Getting each layer of the scene to move at the correct speed to make the parallax effect work also took a lot of work. And of course animating Moomin opening the window and Snufkin playing the harmonica added to the time needed to complete the scene. Honestly I didn’t think this simple scene would take me close to a month to complete.

For those curious, using the groups feature in Procreate Dreams was a lifesaver. Once I animated Moomin opening the window I was able to just group it together with the house layer and then scale both at the same time. The same went for Snufkin on the bridge. Being able to link those layers together into one layer made adjusting the parallax scrolling much easier to deal with. I really love how much groups help tidy up your timeline.

The song Snufkin is playing is a 90’s Moomin harmonica cover by Bat-Hen Zarfati.

I made these Bluey and Moomin backgrounds for Artfight, but they're free to use as banner or device background too!

The Moomins (More specifically MoominValley the 90's dub) has become one of my favourite comfort series ever.

My absolute favourite episodes are An Invisable friend and The invisable child, i adore Ninny and her little bell, to think in this world when a child is made to feel like a burden and when they learn from adults to dislike themselves they turn invisible

and when they are nurtured and loved and love themselves theyre visable again, it's an incredible metaphor for how children in those environments must feel, its honestly such a hopeful two episodes that i almost cried when Moominmama was making Ninny a brand new dress oooh its so sweet 🥹

I FINISHED MEHILÄINEN, FRIENDS <3

so since we're keeping the classic Bee motiff of hiding the eyes, (don't expect to ever see them), i chose to go with something that would fit the whimsical wackiness of Moomin! Their eyes are something no one outside the Moominvalley can see, even if they aren't necessarily trying to hide it. No matter how far apart they are from The Joxter and his smoking pipe, the thick cloud of tobacco always seems to follow them the moment the two step out of Moominvalley for the winter.

Regardless, their lack of visible eyes never makes them any less emotive. They're the much more energetic side of The Joxter; when The Joxter sleeps, Mehil is in the Moominhouse finding new hobbies with Moominmamma, developing their creative process with Moominpappa and Snork, or going on countless adventures with Moomin and the gang!

The Mehiläinen will never run out of reasons to pull The Joxter out of bed. Both a curse that takes away hours of precious sleep, but a blessing he can't help but want to keep.

Moomin Season in Sky is very cute so far and I'm genuinely loving it Drew my AHIT Nomad/Skykid Tali in Snufkin's outfit; don't mind me getting experimental again I'm trying to mess around with Sai 2's settings til I figure out something I like lol

Moominmamma is done. I'm not sure if I like the apron, but it's cute at least.
