The background colors were a pain in the ass but here is the mouse girl! I ironically have to yet draw any of the male characters in Sly Cooper but it's not my fault Penelope is so fun to draw.
Are Penelope's parents still alive and if so, do they approve of Bentley?
Her parents have not met him yet.
I went ahead and made a tier list. This one's sorted by how much I can't wait to write each character's lines in my rewrite of Thieves In Time.
I'm especially dreading The Grizz, though I can't wait to write up his boss fight.
Heck, I could say the same thing about all five bosses. Still don't know what to do with Miss Decibel...
Sir Raleigh (the new Black Knight), Robo-Penelope, and Le Paradox? They're going to be the most fun...
I haven't pinned down Le Paradox's exact wording yet, but he's going to have quite the conversation with a certain mouse during his boss fight...
As for the ancestors... Not looking forward to Rioichi, Bob, or Salim. Tennessee and Sir Galleth? Slightly more so.
No, I am not writing any lines for Dimitri.
Lastly, there's our main protagonists: Sly, Bentley, Murray, Carmelita... and our lead, Penelope.
Of course, I'm easily going to have the most fun with Penelope... for fairly obvious reasons.
I saw this “Platonic Relationship Meme“ here on Tumblr. And I decided to try it with Sly and Penelope from the Sly Cooper series.
Honestly speaking, rewriting a story as janked up as Thieves In Time is anything but easy.
For those of you who have liked my little behind the scenes blog, thank you. I really hope I can do these characters justice, because Sanzaru sure didn't.
Hi, I spent 687 years on this piece. And now I will go back to bed before I complete this series of painting Sly in Renoir paintings

Only day you can rb this
until we get a sequel sly 4 isn’t canon
Kinda went hard for two characters who I don't think made any sort of eye contact ever lol
One interesting thing I LOVE about the Holland Level in Sly 3:
So I’ve talked before about how every Sly Cooper level is based on the personality of the character who owns it.
Generally, this means that the level’s color palette will be based on the villain’s color palette! You can see this very clearly in Karin Madan’s concept art for Sly 1:
But then you get to the Holland level. You’re introduced to the Black Baron, whose color palette is obviously BLACK and RED.
So you go into the level expecting to see a lot of black and red. The Contessa was another black-and-red-themed character, and her levels had RED SKIES and BLACK SHADOWS, because that’s how Sly Cooper level design works.
But then…. you don’t see that?
Instead, the level’s color palette full of purple…
Gold….
And light blue skies.
Because the levels are based on the personalties of the character who owns them! Purple, gold, and blue aren’t the Black Baron’s colors–but they ARE Penelope’s colors!
