Raytober Day 12: King

[piny1234]

Character expressions

Rayman team & Raymesis team

(Well it’s really fun to draw them with many expectations it’s reminded me when I do homework from college)

This has been sitting in my folder for a while, might as well post it at this point lol

I LOVE MIXING FIXATIONS IT'S SO FUN!!!

Dust: An Elysian Tail but Rayman characters let's go😎

After extensive analysis of both games (five minutes of thought), we decided that most (not all) of the Warmbloods are teensies, the Mudpot folk are Glutes, and most (not all) Moonbloods are nightmares.

Here's the more focused roles I have paired for this AU:

Dust -> Rayman

This makes complete sense. Main character who is good at combat and kind at heart. Also has a lot of abilities in general lol

Fidget -> Murfy

I really don't care for Murphy buuuut I won't deny that he reminds me a lot of Fidget. Same vibes, different execution.

Aharah -> Maybe Ly?? Maybe Polokus???

That's cuz my man is a talking sword. He helps Dust with combat and advice cuz he's cool like that.

"See how lifelike it is?" (Ugly ass murphy plush)

"Oooh! Campfire fuel~"

Ginger -> Goth Teensy

This is a mix of personal hcs and just cuz vibes lol. Both are angsting and have affiliations with the opposing groups in the series. (Goth with the Livid Dead door, Ginger with the Moonbloods).

"And who are you really? The last time I saw a thingamajig was when my brother died!"

Sereth -> The First King

This one was a little more difficult to decide, but I like this choice lol. The First King being a dream and nightmare creature in all technicality that I would imagine has a similar personality to Sereth is fun. Also he's a little scary looking, which works with canon. Also his eyes are glossed over so it looks like the Sereth's glowing eyes.

"I am here to serve~"

BELOW ARE SPOILERS FOR DUST: AN ELYSIAN TAIL!! PLEAAAAAAAASE PLAY THE GAME OR WATCH A PLAYTHROUGH OR SOMETHING BEFORE LOOKING AT THESE I BEG!!! I DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE TWIST FOR Y'ALL!!

Now that that's out of the way, here are the spoiler doodles.

Can you-c-can you guess who Rayman was created from?

Can you can you?

That's right!

THE MAGICIANS!!

"Forever in battle. Forever at odds."

When I made this decision I felt so smart. They're the same name, same vibes, and the idea that Rayman got his whimsicalness from the Magician and the violent tendencies of Ales makes so much sense to me.

"Only impossible for a creature with a single soul."

"I am Rayman."

Also I get to draw him with the teensy boba eyes, which is a win for me.

I'll probably make more stuff for this cuz I really like this idea. The story will have creative liberties though for character motivation, but that's not too important lol.

Have a lovely day fellas :)))

Could you draw the Purple gang? (Selena, Raymesis, Glombrox and The first king)

First time I've drawn the first king and glombrox but I love them all very much

"Do you mind telling me what's become of our world in my absence?"

The First King of the Teensies from Rayman, aka Everyone's Disapproving Grandpa from The Tomb of the Ancients. Mainly drew this because I saw someone fave an older picture and I was stricken with a sudden case of "oh I can draw so much better than that".

[roze-moonie-x21]

where is the first king in the au bro i need him

-@crazycuttle

Here he is bro

He’s Carmilla Carmine. I thought this would work because he’s

A. Old and wise. He also has experience in battling and combat in general because (in the Rayman lore) he was around before Rayman, so the Teensies must have been able to defend for themselves

B. Going off the theory that Carmilla is a fallen angel like Vaggie, First King being an ex-Grand Minimus would fit.

C. Uhhhh cause Carmilla slays and so does First King??? I sorta had two solid points and everything else being teehee

Also, a glimpse at one of the Vees! (Or, Rhs in this case). André is Velvette because they’re both snobbish assholes who are probably one of the trends and stuff (He references Zelda in R3. Like, come on)

Like I said before, these are my opinions and ideas. Feel free to disagree ^^

[katiekatdragon27]

Remember how I said I might turn that horror Rayman art into an actual Infection AU? Here it iiiiiiiisssssssss~~

Designs maaaaaay change, but I'm sticking with these for now.

There's a plot for this, so I'm going to give a quick synopsis for it.

"The heart of the world has corrupted, Polokus has become inactive, and a deadly infection has run rampant. It is altering the lums of the world, making them sick. Many have taken matters into their own hands, while many of the Glade's heros have fallen ill to the sickness. There is no clear solution, but many have a feeling that a certain missing nymph may have the answer. Polokus needs his muse back; they just need to find her."

That's enough to not be too spoilery. More to come tho :)

[TW: BODY HORROR, CREEPY THING]

Progress and Rayman stuff under cut:

The infection impacts thingamajigs differently from other creatures of the Glade. Most being (dream and nightmare) turn to mossy stone statues. Others, like the nymphs, are conditionally immune.

Thingamajigs however...

Yeaaaaaaah. Not the best look bro. He needs a snickers.

Also, @rainbow-wolf120 🙄🙄

I'm open to any questions people might have as long as they aren't too spoilerly lol.

Have a lovely day fellas.

[totalrayhem]

How does First King feel about the fact that the Teensies can’t even agree on who’s king so they all just take turns?
