#lums

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

Join here if you wanna. It's pretty chill and stuff:

✨𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐬✨

To begin, you must know that the universe is made of energy. Everything that moves around you, everything that lives and thinks is given life by the tiny magical lights which we call... 𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐬. These are very powerful shards of energy of unknown origin. Whether they are the essence of a God of Creation or simply their own thing, all you need to know is that Lums are responsible for all of creation. Lums come in many different colors, each with it's own special powers. There are 7 types of Lums in total.

💛𝐘𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝: The Yellow Lums grant wisdom and knowledge, allowing one to gain better understanding of concepts and the world around them. When gathered, they offer insights into whatever question you may have.

✨

❤𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫: The Red Lums are full of vital energy. They allow for strength and power to exist within the universe. When gathered, they can offer a boost in one's power and capabilities. They can even prolong your life. Since they represent pure power, many individuals such as pirates love gathering them for their energy.

✨

💜𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞: The Purple Lums grants a continuous area with dimensions within which all things exist and move. When gathered, one can use them to warp from one place to another by grabbing hold of the rings on them and throwing them as far as you can. Where they end up, you will be warped to, allowing for faster travel.

✨

🤍𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: The White Lums create the basic physical reality that we reside in. When gathered, White Lums are able to change something into something else: for example, a book into a chair, a bed into a table, etc.

✨

💖𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: The Pink Lums assure the cohesion of the world. They govern and balance the structure of all of creation. Without them, nothing would be solid or visible. When gathered, these lums can be used to restore things back to their prime.

✨

💚𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The Green Lums give the universe motion, being the very cosmic force that pushes time forward. These lums can record your placement in time from when you gathered them, allowing you to return to when you encountered them by rubbing it.

💙𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐥: The Blue Lums contain the first breath. They are the origin of all life, and connect all living things down to their very soul. Each creature receives at birth a combination of Blue Lums which make up their soul, which they keep and maintain until they die. When gathered, these lums allow one to gain a sort of "extra life." It can resurrect the dead and allow you to resurrect from the brink of death.
