This may be a hot take, but I wish André had more appearances in the Rayman series. I love that horrible little lintwad and his interactions with Globox!

like 3 people nearly all at the same time rushed to show me ubiarts André from the Origins update stuff so of course I had to draw my fatboy

I have a silly hc that Rayman characters do NOT swear. Not even the biggest of bads. The ONLY guys who swear, would be André or Ales. And at that I like to think from a 4th wall breaking perspective, that the other characters hear them say fuck or something and they're like "Is he crazy??? What does THAT mean??" THEY'VE NEVER HEARD CURSE WORDS THEY THINK THEY'RE BATSHIT INSANE- Even someone like Mr. Dark is like "No you can't say that how despicable"

It's been a little bit since I posted, so let's do something about that. I'm planning on making proper character sheets for my AU, but for now, just have some characters. 👍

Some tid bits and notes below! Globox, Murfy, and two more villains (I'm not sure who I'll do) will be next.

• All of these designs are the most current designs, not their design from their debut game. Those other designs will be shown in the sheets!

• I wanted Rayman, Globox, and Murfy to have a Three Musketeers / Bodyguards to the King theme, so their designs have those patterns that the Grand Minimus has in Rayman 3. I also gave him a big bow and a bear hood to lean in to the teddy bear theme that I've had ongoing with his designs.

• For Ly, I recently found out looking through her page on the Raywiki that she is part of a group of people known as the "People of Prhys", wears their clothes, and has a strong motivation to protect them. I then took that concept and RAN with it. The idea is that similar to the Knarrens and the Teensies, these people are the Muse of Poets' creation. The People of Prhys live far off from the rest of the Glade in isolation, and no one is allowed to live their land besides the chosen guardian / leader. Ly was chosen as the next guardian, and thus, I gave her a little more of a royal look. I felt that my last design made her look a little bit too much like Shantae, so I tried to distance away from that.

• Quick briefing over André's design: He's got more of a mechanic / inventor look and less of a person in charge because ever since he made a deal with Jano, he hasn't quite been the one calling the shots. He's still the hoodlum's boss, but now he has a boss himself. He also has cuffs on his arms from his imprisonment in the Tetris.

Now, what I really want to talk about is the ideas I had for André's biology. I didn't like how human he ooked in his previous concepts, so I went for a more bug-like look to fit his wildly gluttonous personality. He's basically a honeypot ant if it had wings. The idea is that the substance in André's abdomen is what I'm going to call "life juice" and he can spray it like spiders do with webs. This life juice then can sprout black lums! However, in order for him to do so, he needs to "feast" to get the energy needed for these creations to come to life, hence why he thirst for plum juice and eats like a pig. All for his hive, so to say.

• As for Reflux, I tried to make his and André 's designs play off each other. André is more manic and hot-headed, while Reflux is more stoic and cold. I made him completely dump his outfit from the original game caude at this point of the story, he has completely declined to side with André. Finally, I gave him a deluxe version of the Hoodmongers boomstick with a little crystal from his original scepter in the middle. This came from the idea that while Knarrens are the closest beings on the Glade to being invincible, they put their souls in these crystals that they then turn into weapons for pit-fighting. If these crystals are hurt, they get hurt; if they break, they die. Jano had to repair Reflux's crystal as it was destroyed in the final battle of Rayman 3.
