Hello everyone ! I am François L. an artist specialized in Character Design and comics Illustration. I am notably known for my comic "Geraldine & Mona" , a family and slice of life comic book available at Myria Editions. And I'm currently working on the sequels, as well as other projects. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions, and thank you for taking a look at my page !

He's going to Banana-Slamma things again !

I have to say, I love this design for him. The game looks outstanding.

Once again, lots of announcement, right ?

I'm not going to go into details yet, a bit tired for that ^^'...

But overall, it looks nice !

(Now, the prices are something else too...wow, I love games like that, but It sounds like a lot... the menu look the same too, it's a bit shame...)

That said again, look at him ! Happy chunky dude, love him.

She's done. The small long-nosed creature require her reasonable amount of sweetness and caffeine, or else, she's going to be grumpy all the time.

Little trivia, I used to have a PSP as a child (I got a 3DS WAY later).

I used to play a lot of Locoroco 1&2, that one Jak & Daxter game, Sonic rivals and some others neat stuff along the way.

And those Patapon games, they were a HUGE part of my childhood. Loved them. It was a really neat rythmic game.

I never expected to those on the nintendo Switch, but it was the biggest surprise of that direct to me.

Kinda wonder if we'll get Locoroco at some point ? It would be amazing.

So, here's a really little tribute made between other things !

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the first Super Mario Maker on Wii U. Time flies ! I guess it was the occasion for this Mar10 day.

I'm not good at building levels actually, but I did play some nice creations, specially on the 2nd game !

A whole SMB remake, a sort of Mario Mania, the Zelda levels or even some wild stuff, people are doing wonders with this game.

The only thing I do miss of the Wii U version are the mystery costume. I do understand why it's not there anymore, but still, it was such a cool thing.

Anyway, Happy Mar10 day again !

Pixel Sprites all originated from the first Super Mario Maker game. With the exception of few edits here and there, I didn't made them.

Rayman Legends back to origins discussion

Do you know what could be cool?

1. If they add all the Rayman origins levels to the back to origins gallery (but keep land of living dead and the mamma of all nightmares separated)

2. All the nymphs together (including voodoo mama) in the back to origins gallery hanging out and being on top of each painting to each world and remake every level to have the nymph rescued just like in rayman origins level I’m interested to see every princesses meeting every nymph.

3. Voodoo Mama Appearing after defeating the mamma of all nightmares

4. The electoons returned to the back to origins

Well, the whole "Back to Origins" thing felt more like a huge, slightly revised level pack. And don't get me wrong, they didn't have to add theses levels in the first place, so it's actually pretty neat.

At the very least, the fact they didn't went too hard on this is maybe not that bad of a thing. I loved Rayman Origin's esthetic and vibes. The whole map thing, the electoons sections, the Nymph, the main hub tree with Polokus, the very slightly story driven story. (I mean, more than Legends) It kinda feel great to play Origins again, you know ?

Now, I do agree with you, if one day, they decided to re-re-re-release Rayman Legends again and actually add a "better" Rayman Origins experience through it, theses little details would be neat.

But Like, re-re-re-releasing Legends again...

I mean, if she really had meals with sugar with sweets and more sugar for like, three decades, it's going to have an effect on her at one point.

I guess she use that yellow bandage around her waist to hide some of her own fluff. But with the recents indulgence, it cannot hide as much.

So, on a personal note, you might know that Ronnie Filyaw's comic was one of my favorite out there, and since the comic hiatus in 2021, I missed these characters.

Sure ! There's a lot of great webcomic. Nerd and Jock, LitterBox, SlackWyrm, Erma, all that. (And I SURE need to make some fan art one day)

BUT Ronnie has a something unique, I haven't quite seen something similar. And it was, for me at least, super neat and original in his way.

And it was gone for a moment...

And out of nowhere, in February 2025, just like that, he is back. He is back !

And I'm happy, and now looking forward for more Ronnie, Agrias, M. Dude, and everything that come with it.
