Bentley facing Jean Bison in Sly 2: (nervously trying to avoid confrontation) sorry i wasn’t trying to escape, i just dropped my glasses, pleasedon’tkillme
Bentley facing Muggshot in Sly 3: YOU’RE A SEWAGE-EATING MEATHEAD AND YOUR MOTHER WAS A TUB OF JUNK! FIGHT ME! YOU COWARD!!!!!!
new sticker design(?)
Here's how I've been dividing my time so far...
Intro Cutscene: %100 finished
Sly: %97 finished
Bentley: %47 finished
Penelope: %64 finished
Murray: %25 finished
Final (running into Carmelita): %35 finished
The hardest parts are overhauling Bentley's segment and writing an entirely new segment for Penelope.
I'm also pretty bad at writing action and fight scenes right now. Murray might have to wait a while.
And in hindsight, so will the part where our four heroes floor it into a time portal.
That means I'm roughly %61 done with the tutorial. Give or take a few points.
So, i doodled some Sly Cooper because i was super needing to be an artist and JUST AN ARTIST for one day. And i got super carried away with this and i have ZERO REGRETS Just let me make perfectly clear that Sly was one of the best parts of my childhood. Also P5 cuz it was cool. (But we know which is cooler)
I haven't talked much about the boss fights yet, apart from Le Paradox.
For those of you who haven't read my little fanfic yet, I managed to rope Penelope into all six of them.
I wasn't sure how to rope her into the El Jefe or Toothpick boss fights at first... then after some thinking, I put her on aerial support for Sly.
How many other rewrites have both Murray and Penelope fighting a boss together? None? Great news: They both get to fight The Grizz. Let your imagination for that run wild.
We can't have our heroine be the boss of Episode 4, so I thought I'd bring back an old villain: Sir Raleigh.
Miss Decibel's boss fight... isn't finished yet.
Then there's Le Paradox... Here's a link to that recap.
For context, this is one of Penelope's actions during Something's Fishy. Episode 1. It's during a newly added RC Car segment.
For more context, this "gate" is something she could have opened in seconds. It's something she designed herself.
And these "higher expectations" might make future snooping sessions a bit harder. Whoops. And even worse, she comes out of this one empty-handed.
But at least her boyfriend and honorary older brother like her better now?

Both her in game and cutscene alts.
She has very baggy pants

Another thing I like in Sly Cooper is how each game opens with the Cooper Gang having a conversation before a big heist– but the conversations are all very different because the characters are Growing Up™.
Like– in the opening Paris heist, Sly 1 Bentley is anxioUSLY SCREAMING about how nervous he is. But in the beginning of the Cooper Vault heist, Sly 3 Bentley is confidently and excitedly telling Sly that they’re going to pull off the Crime of the Century.
Sly 1 Murray is waiting in the van, Sly 3 Murray is “PUMPED” and ready to go out into the field.
Sly 2 Sly rolls his eyes at Bentley and makes fun of his dorky attempts to use code-names….. Sly 3 Sly is TOTALLY on board with Bentley’ dorky code-names and takes them very seriously, because he’s grown to respect Bentley so much more over the events of the previous games.
It’s just really sweet! The little thief children are growing up…..
There she be.
Really dumb of me to ask but like…you think Penelope just has cheese lying around Holland/Maybe the safe house for “totally landing purposes. I don’t drag these into the safe house/my castle and lie awake at night eating it questioning my life chocies so far.”
Penelope lying on the futon Bentley set up for her at the back of the safehouse after wolfing down a barrel of gruyere, questioning if this is what 'women in STEM' means
