Description
"Rayman is a unique character of unknown origin. No wise man or magician can say by what twist of fate or whim of the gods Rayman came to appear at the Glade of Dreams. All we know of him comes from the fishermen on the Sea of Lums…"—Manual, Rayman 2
This is an illustration of Rayman 2's origin story in Rayman 1 style.

Whooaa, this is so in-style, I love it! It's right out of the game, and I love the fishermen designs!

Thank you very much, I sincerely hope they fit well into Rayman's wonderful original world.

I think my favourite bit of this is the grumpy-face fish from Rayman 1. Really love how you capture the Rayman style.

So happy you noticed that fish 
I love to mix all sorts of aesthetically pleasing ingame elements in my drawings, like the upper branches of the tree that resemble my favorite tree from the Dream Forest; those mushroom caps are just so beautiful and colorful, it makes me smile every time Rayman comes past one of those.

Yes! I still can't resist the surreal beauty and sheer joyfulness of the world of that game (and also of the Rayman sprite himself, his actions and expressions!). You do that world complete justice and extend it so seamlessly into your own scenes, where you mind-bogglingly move it from being a fantasy environment to a *location.*

Gosh thank you so much, I'm flattered! In every illustration I'm trying to show a bit of what I would have liked to see in addition to the locations/characters etc. we get to see in the game, so it's always a balancing act between including my own elements and moving too far away from the original context.
I also love the Rayman sprite very much, I still marvel at how they made so much out of so little—there's just a handful of expressions and poses, yet the way they're animated is so memorable and pleasing to the eye.
