Ain't rlly an ask but I just think that you do the best job predicting/drawing what their relationship platonic/romantic would look like after the first seasons end, also your art really resembles the characters, and I'm glad you didn't just reduce them to their main points like some people do. Where they make Raymans only trait being a murderous alcoholic who has mental breakdowns and snorts coke, and bullfrog his emotional crutches. I rlly like seeing how the series would effect bullfrog. And a lot of ppl don't expand on that. So thanks 👍👍👍 you rlly are shrimptastic 💯💯💯💪

That's very sweet of you to say. I've had plenty of practice drawing things like toons, Moomins, and muscular frogs, so these two weren't difficult for me to approach. I'm also quite comfortable conveying facial expressions, and I use the art book scans for reference on the bits I can't quite get right just yet (like Bullfrog's assassin gear). That said, with the current exception of the guilt comic and the song comic I'm currently working on, I cannot take credit for the writing in my other Rayfrog drawings. This comic was adapted from dialog in @xnightmare-eyesx fic "Glowflies in the Darkest City," and this adapted a scene from @y2kbugs "Seed of Hope" fic. If I'm getting praise for how I draw or approach these two, then these creators, alongside people like @fermentedgutz, @biframes, and @velichorus-k, need to get a nod as well. They're all excellent, and these are the people whose interpretations of the Rayman and Bullfrog (and Dolph!) dynamic I personally enjoy. But I understand where you're coming from with the concern of caricature and Flanderization. That happens, and I'm not going to dunk on how people choose to have fun in the fandom space. The thing I bear in mind is the balance between these two characters. Rayman/Ramon is anger and self-deprecation and he is compassion and gratitude. Bullfrog is justice and wisdom and he is self-sacrifice and violence. And they are both kind. The men have layers. Anyway.

I don't want to make this any longer than necessary, but thank you for the compliment. I appreciate it very much. :D
