Sly 3 Screencap re-draw
I just dug up one of my first attempts at humanizing the Sly Cooper cast because it fits in with the current “Re-Draw a screen cap” trend.
Basically, I wanted to see how well my humanized versions worked within the context of an actual scene from the game. I also tweeked it to focus more on the characters than the background (that’s why the drawing cuts off the vault and shows Bentley & Penelope’s faces)
Sly: “I aim to misbehave.”
Bentley: “It’s a real burn, being right all the time.”
Murray: “Well they tell you: never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.”
Carmelita: “Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.”
Neyla: “Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!”
Penelope: “I can kill you with my brain.”
Dimitri: “Your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.”
Riochi: “I’m a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.”
Tennessee: “If anyone gets nosy just...y’know, shoot em.” “Shoot em?” “Politely.”
Bob: “Shiny.”
Galleth: “Time for some thrilling heroics.”
Salim: “Is that him?” “That’s the buffet table.” “...Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?”
Feel free to add more characters/alternative quotes.
More Sly Cooper doodles I forgot to post...
Neyla, Carmelita & Penelope Inked sketches. Lol these are pretty old too. (2019)
Here's how it's going in a nutshell...
I can't help it if the final mission of Episode 4 is so fun to imagine. My revenge against the vanilla game is going to go so hard.
Penelope is going to come out of this one as a total badass. Who's on the right side as she was always meant to.
By the way, none of these episodes are finished yet. Not even the Paris Tutorial. The only finished part is the intro cutscene, where our four heroes get their first lines.
And here's what I've been focusing on...
I don't know. You tell me how to write anything that goes on in that geisha house. And Rioichi's dialogue.
My solution is to find stuff for Penelope to do in the background so I don't have to worry about anything Rioichi does. And it's perfect because at this point in the story, Penelope's not exactly going to be a team player yet.
I don't dislike Rioichi. I just don't want to write for him.
are you ever concerned about the fact that nobody else wears pants in the gang but you
It got a little easier after we defeated Dr M and it was just Bentley and me.
Besides, Panda King wore pants! And even Guru wore pants… sort of…
((awkward timing for a nosebleed there, Bentley!))
Nobody touches that turtle… but me!
remember when you didn’t want to punch penelope in the face?
yeah, lets go back to that.

One path leads to an epic redemption quest.
