My original idea for Raygirl's YearOfRayman2025 art prompt for October, before I had an artblock and drew the Mr.Frog-thing.

Though there were supposed to be more bad guys in the pic, having a good time, and some tied up teensies, having a not so good time. But after I had trouble putting all of them in one single pic (and the implications about the teensies' fate maybe being a bit too dark), I focused on the characters that mattered to me the most. Which would be one, Dougal, my own OC and Tod, Illegal's OC. It's also supposed to be a gift for her as a thanks for cheering me up when the first half of this year was going absolutely terrible. But apart from that, both Dougal and Tod share a certain fondness for both teensies and Lums, so it only was a matter of time for me to draw these two together.

Though this here is some kind of "Mario Kart-get-together"-situation where the characters, no matter if they had personal beef with each other, just get along for the sake of having them appear together in the picture. Normally Dougle wouldn't even think about sharing and perhaps would even have started a fight.

In the end I'm very proud of the pic. Not only because usually I struggle so much with drawing my own character, but also with shading characters in the dark, especially when there's still a strong light source. And I like both of these features so much <3
