Whoa mama, where on earth did you find these?

[Elite Piranha]

This is a Japanese Rayman custom that was showed on a Japanese event.

Yeah, where did you get this from?

Not necessarily a Rare Rayman Picture, but:

[Elite Piranha]

That's a really cool model.

Here is something I found in a spanish Dreamcast magazine, it shows 2 screens of the old rayman 2 dreamcast website. The site can still be accessed via the Wayback Machine, but much of it is gone, so it is nice to see how the pages used to look like.

[Marx-Y]

There is many early screenshots of RRR for DS:

also, there is a early cover of Rayman DS that it's from the Ubisoft website mid 2005:

I have not seen that Rayman DS cover, it seems that it uses a different font and background.

Btw, do you remember the character models that appear in the level Future from Rayman M? I don't know if this was shown before, but I found one for Ly in an old Ubisoft website. I added the image to the Rayman M (early production) article.

Found this magazine scan. Has some new sketches and expression sheet for Rayman.

[ItzalDrake]

I have never seen these before, great find!

[Elite Piranha]

Thanks for sharing, I like that chart with Rayman's expressions.

[Marx-Y]

these are some concept arts of scenarios for Rayman 2:

and this is an editor used on the development of Rayman 3:

[PluMGMK]

Wow, that editor looks really cool, at least for its time! Nice to see all that stuff we know from Raymap in its original "official" capacity. Their scripting language was French-based btw – if/then blocks are "Si/Alors/Sinon/FinSi". Nice!

[Flat Earth Society]

Nice find Marx!

[Elite Piranha]

I found this stuff from Origins in an interview article, it features a huge tentacle monster and a that "contaminated Globox" that appears in the artbook.

I wonder if these are rare or not.

[ItzalDrake]

I don't remember seeing these pictures before!
Looking at the concept arts of Ubiart Rayman games makes me sad, I see so many scrapped ones..

[Flat Earth Society]

Me neither, nice find Elite.

I love the aesthetic of the second picture.
