Rayman Pirate-Community

Hello everyone, StrangeSolo is here!

I'm not used to RCP and English isn't my first language, so my apologies.

I just have a question for you guys: does anyone know where is this Rayman Legends wallpaper comes from?
When I was searching for the wallpapers with Rayman, I found this very obscure and weird piece, which I had never seen before


I tried to check the website for that link in the second image first, but unfortunately, the site is dead.
Then, I tried to contact to the concept artist, who worked on cover art and promotional stuff for Legends, but I didn't receive the letter from them as well...
I also tried to search the source of those images, but the only thing I could find is those wallpapers websites, that's it.

I've definitely seen this art around, but come to think of it I can't think of a source either. Best of luck on sleuthing out the source, Solo!

Ohh, interesting!
And thank you, SilverLum!

First, where did you find it from? Hopefully this’ll be obscure enough for my next iceberg

Hello!
It was found in one of wallpaper websites, when I typed on google "rayman wallpaper" back then! I will try to get a link of that website where did I find it.

How long ago was this? Maybe it’s just a site giving out their free custom wallpapers

It was pretty long time, as I have been spending some time to try to find the source of it...

I found it!
This one! https://wallpapercave.com/rayman-legends-wallpapers
But also in CuteWallpaper and ArtFot as well.

As I said before, I tried to check the website from that image, but the site is dead

Wel there’s quite a few I haven’t seen before, maybe they were custom? Or were they definitely from somewhere else?

I'm not sure about that as well, as those wallpapers are mixed with fanmade stuff as well, like there is official wallpapers along with fanmade one, so it makes a bit harder to search it.
But the image definitely looks like official, just wish that website was still working.

So it was back when you visited?

This is seriously worth an investigation

Unfortunately no, it was already dead when I was trying to visit it.
The only a bit weird thing about it I remember it was that it quickly redirected me to a bit different link and then showed up about not working at all, I tried to use Wayback Machine, but I didn't have luck back then, but I will try once again!

Maybe nobody archived it? This has really intrigued me

It seems to be!
Which is sucks, since from that website, we have this wallpaper

So, you have a theory on this?

It feels like as some sort of promo stuff for Legends for me, but not sure about that.

Some people also theorised that it was for Halloween update, but I can't find sources for that info at all.

What Halloween update? On legends?

I have already seen this poster and it looks a lot like the current poster of the game, I think it is just a concept art for an alternative poster that should highlight the Luchadors of the Fiesta de los Muertos instead of the Seabreather

Like that famous one with the jellyfish tearing the tank?

Good to see you online today Dumbo!

Yeah, that's what I heard from Discord, but I can't find sources of it at all

Ohh, interesting!
And thanks Dumbo!

I’ve never heard of a legends Halloween update, let alone an update in general
