The Glade of Dreams is in real trouble with the Mysterious Figure and that orb...fend off the corruption in Rayman #LegendsRetold

Just gotta say Videogames are such a great type of Media. As someone like me with a very visual Imagination loving to daydream about fictonal creative stuff, Video games are the perfect place to dive in.

Even if he appears like a nice lovely rabbit it doesn't change what it actually is: an unfeeling lifeless machine that just follows it's orders. Such a machine put into the world of rayman just tickles my brain constantly and I can't stop thinking about him.

I basically just wanna say thank you to Micheal Ancel for creating this Franchise and everyone else at Ubisoft contribruting to it. (Espacially whoever is behind the creation of Pink.) This character and the Franchise fills my heart with joy from the moment I saw them <3. #Rayman

Something more personally I wanna add here since it also explain a bit of my hyperfixation is I that Im a big fan of scifi. Robots is something I find quite fascinating in fictonal media (emphazise on fictonal, I'm kinda terrified on how things go in real life with AI).

It's just one of the reason, and I'm sorry to derail it to him again, why I love Pink. He fits so well in this scheme and comes with his own contrast. Something that looks cute and harmless but is dark on the inside.

In the 3D Titles of Rayman industrilization is a motife. Robopirates, Hoodlums and even Rabbids in the original Rayman 4 trying to take over the Glade with there machines, capturing every peacful inhabitants. It's never put on the nose but it still lets you think about it.

Espacially set into Raymans world they kinda give a huge contrast here that I love. Something cold, unfeeling, lifeless with no creative mind attacking a world full of nature, life and creativity created by the thoughts of Polokus. Just that alone brings good Potential.

Because I wanted to see what lies beyond. I espacially had that with Rayman 2. The Masks Levels and Cave of Bad Dreams being my favourit for the mystery behind them. Like how in Water and Ice you go through a gate entering a space like area.

Or in Stone and Fire were you fall through the floot entering ruins of a forgotten Temple. The Level Design is just great. But what comes on top of it are the character in the Franchise. Rayman has alot of unique and creative characters. I espacially love the villians.

This is one of many reasons why the Rayman Franchise is my favourit Franchise of all time. The Glade of Dreams with the lore of Polokus is triggering my brain with creativity and fascination. I know how much as a kid I tried to go beyond some Level borders.

I'm wondering how many people had the same missinterpretation as me when playing Rayman Raving Rabbids for the first time, thinking that the spider mech Pink is riding was his lower body part. On an old TV with how the endoskeleton is designed I think it's easy to get wrong.

I remember how confused I got when I say his actual body in the credits. I really thought at this point they just attached him some regular legs so he can dance like the other Rabbids lol. (If only he had his fur...)

A bit of a random thought. But I'm wondering if anything I've made has ever left some kind of impact. Anything that made people feel seen, or that stuck with them in some positive way. Sometimes I just don't know.

I'm not a fan of "giving a character more detail = better". Sometimes I think too much detail ruins it. I think it's way cooler if you can create the same impact by keeping it very simple. It will probably not surprise anyone but I personally think Pink is a great example here.

This was just another Pink rent on my end because I think he deserves way more appreciation. Final RRR really didnt make this character justize at all so I hope we as a community can do better. Also I don't see people talking about how briallant his design is enough.

Thanks to everyone listening to me until here. The character means a lot to me and I wanna do my best spreading the word of him in the world. I appreciate every like, comment and repost a lot. #Rayman #Rabbids #RaymanRavingRabbids #RabbidPink

I still think it's one of the most unique and greatest robo rabbid designs out there. It's sucks so hard that his skelleton is the only thing you can see in the final game though. Whoever may bring him (which please somebody do) give him justice by having the design as intended.

Also it breaks my hearth seeing people trashtalk the retail design without understand why it looks the way it looks. Espacially when just brush it off as a dumb fnaf animatronic. I hope this Tweet can bring more understanding why I think the design is peak at least on paper.

I know some people really don't like this design but I think on paper it's great! Like the Terminator it's a creepy robotic skelleton of his exterior. And unlike his exterior the skeleton has more detail to enhance the vibe of a horrific machine making the impact stronger.

Doesn't mean everything is perfect. I don't mind changing a few things espacially on the skeleton. A few joints can help to not make it look like he is breaking his arms when moving them lol.

Even without knowing the character it already tells you that something is of about him. He might not be your friend. He will show it by attacking you directly. So you fight back. During the fight his exterior will get destroyed more and more until it's revealed what he truely is.

A lifeless unfeeling killing machine that will do everything possible to complete it's Task of destroying you. Of course a parody of the Terminator but this character creates something new out of it with the contrast of cute and harmless to something terrifying.

His initial apperence just looks like a very simple pink rabbit. He may look cute and harmless but the simplistic design with his lack of expressions gives a kinda unsettling vibe at the same time. He looks more like a plushtoy then an actual living bunny.

I really wish to draw more. It's just whatever I bring to paper feels so bad and is far away from how I want it to look what kills my motivation. I just hate having that mental blockade.

I wish more people would be hyperfixated on Pink from RRR. I feel so lonely and frustrated sometimes when I wanna talk but there is nobody to talk to since there is sadly no real fandom around him. Pink deserves so much more in my opinion. #Rabbids #RabbidPink

I at least hope he gets some sort of acknowledgment in Rayman Origins enhanced or maybe even retold since Serguei got some. In general I would wish Ubisoft acknowledge those 2 bunnies more. They are peak Rabbids content. #Rayman

Besides the fact that there are actually 3 different Rabbid Terminator variants out there, which I guess is fair for the series, is it just me or are they getting more and more lame everytime?

From unique Rabbid design with a concept on it's own to Rabbid but looking like a Terminator to just Rabbid but robot underneath. They had such a great start and throwed it away smh. #Rabbids #RaymanRavingRabbids
