I was tempted to draw this character due to a comment given to one of my earlier drawings by  ryugadaisukidesu . The similarity in my older work was accidental btw cause I was more back then thinking of an alchemist from Ragnarok Online and a Minstrel Hat which is an equipment in said game *laughs* The hat just happens to look very similar to Nuuskamuikkunen's one !

That being said, I was actually very satisfied with this drawing o_o" Perhaps due to the fact I have some emotions tied to the character and I draw from my emotions. I can relate to the character quite alot; wanderer without a real purpose.. Advicing others through life experience desiring only to have a mundane happy life themselves.. Unable to understand happiness through matter or even really comprehend such a thing as private property or possessions.. Finds emotions and experience through something far more important than actually owning something like money or land.. I always found him one of the most interesting characters.

Gee.. The rare time I won't make a furry art and it comes out better than my usual arts.. Embarassing.

In case someone doesn't have any clue who/what is Nuuskamuikkunen : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snufkin

In short though, a character from a book/cartoon strip/television series. So this would be a fan pic I guess. I assume the character isn't very well known outside of nordic countries.
