They then skipped happily into the sunset to destroy all of the Phantoms stuff 😀
This is basically what I want Rayman and Rabbid Mario to have XD. A friendship and camaraderie based on punching stuff :)
Poor Ray is going to have a LOT to take in meeting the SoH Rabbids (flashbacks etc) and it will probably throw him off his normal groove. But Rabbid Mario was just so ready to befriend this weird limbless eggplant dude and only got freaked out after accidentally pulling his hand off. I just get the impression RMario wouldn’t like seeing anyone sad and would try in his weird way to offer support. Turns out their hobbies aren’t too dissimilar :)
Rayman’s loneliness in Captain Laserhawk hurts considering he’s surrounded by friends in most of his games. After watching it, I wanted to make a comparison to game appearances and his anime counterpart.
In this piece I tried out the shading used in animation for the Captain Laserhawk anime’s Rayman. For the Sparks Of Hope Rayman side, I shaded in a 3-D looking airbrush style. I really wanted to get across that they are from different universes (2-D and 3-D) and I think it worked out! This was very fun shading and lighting study to do.
Constructive criticism is welcome for this piece! I am looking to improve on things like shading and backgrounds. I have mostly been practicing 3-D looking shading recently and am eager to learn more about 2-D shading.
three at a time? he'd be glad to take on all of them! I'll just go plummet over there while the real show is about to begin! 🎙️🎼💕✨🌟🎶🎵 (I'm sure Rayman wants to pummel Phantom over his remarks against him)
This is one of the best moments of the DLC, Rabbid Mario gives him a big hug, Rayman reacts impressed and for a moment he doesn't know how reacts.....
The rabbids were those that he had previously hated and believed were all beings full of madness and evil, but after his adventures with Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Mario, he realized that he was wrong....
The rabbids were not the beings he thought they were, he realized that they could be good, helpful and loyal, after that he really changed a lot of his perspective on them.
and he decides to accept that hug and return it, thus accepting the rabbids as his friends, as beings that can be like us, some good and incredible, others neutral and clearly bad.
This is a great step for the rabbids and for rayman, for the rabbids since they finish redeeming themselves by making passes with rayman and demonstrating their great change, for rayman why does he leave a grudge and hatred, in general it is a moment where they ask each other forgiveness and acceptance.
But above all, it is a teaching to the fandom, a representation of how we can leave that grudge against the Rabbids for supposedly having killed him, and as Rayman we can see them in a different way.
and that is why I love this scene a lot as they show that there is no longer any resentment and everything ended at a bad time.
Special thanks to @pastelprince18 for reminding me I’d not posted this here XD
I originally made this to celebrate the one year anniversary of the release of Mario&Rabbids:Sparks of Hope, and I just wanted to promote my appreciation for this delightful pair. Rayman and Rabbid Mario’s friendship is just adorable and I’m so happy I was right about them being ‘Punching Pals’ XD
