I don't believe the golden frame actually suits this masterpiece, which I believe should be displayed as such.

I've seen this on Tumblr a while ago! It made me smile seeing it.

But according to a source with japanese roots, the "death" fact isn't quite true. Lets say that the purple colour is quite common on Japan, but it isn't really known the reason of the colour change.

If the death thing is true, I prefer to not think what the brown colour motivated the japanese to change Clark's clothes to green...

Perhaps they just thought he was too boring without. :hinhin:

And yes, purple is in fact the colour of death in japanese culture.

Then I don't get it why a person with japanese roots told me it wasn't really the case... oh nevermind. I guess I'll pretend I heard nothing.

I think it might be one of those over-saturated elements of culture, and I'd assume that post people in Japan wouldn't care.

Hunch told us that it was nonsense, but apparently it's not completely so...

I think Spyro actually was made a blue dragon in Japan at some point.

Huh. Well I'm sure I remember reading that at some point he was blue. Maybe my brain's just making crap up again.

Anyways, back to Rayman.

Edit: THEDragon, he did get recoloured on all versions later on with a slight more blue. Image

Man, does anyone else find it as annoying as I do when Rayman fancharacters look too much like Rayman? It's like, it's not like the artist wasn't being original, it's like they INTENDED for their character to dress just like Rayman.

I find tedious all of the Sonic OC's and people drawing Rayman wearing jeans and with a female counterpart. It's so... corny.

Don't get me wrong, there are some really cool and original Rayman fancharacters out there, but I just wish people didn't try so hard to make them look like... Hardcore Rayman fans XD

And yeah, limbless characters with pants/sleeves tend to bother me too ._.
