Rayman and his friends are celebrating 30th anniversary!

Happy 30th Anniversary, Rayman!

[Reposting from an original post from a different account of February 2026]

I haven't done a new watercolour in months! This one is a personal tribute to the 30th anniversary of the Rayman game franchise created by French speakers, as well as to its original composer, Rémi Gazel, who passed away in 2019 after battling cancer.

A re-release of the first game featuring this unique character was announced three days ago and hit digital stores the very next day. Despite the controversy surrounding the change in the soundtrack, it was still a trip back in time to the new millennium, which was when I discovered this game on a neighbour's PlayStation at the time. Another neighbour of mine also had it, and I remember us playing for hours, trying to figure out where the heck the cages were hidden! Eventually, my mother brought me the MS-DOS/Windows 95 version from a trip she took to France. It was a difficult game, but it marked an era with its colourful two-dimensional graphics, fluid animations and unforgettable soundtrack.

Bon retour parmi nous, Monsieur Rayman! ✨✌️

Additionally, I want to thank my long-time followers from who are still around and keep up with my content and maintain friendship with me from those earlier internet days! Thank you for your continued support across fandoms.
