For anyone out there who has an interest in the Sly Cooper franchise but doesn't want to invest the time and/or money it would take to play one of the games, these comics are a great introduction. They were published by Sucker Punch (the company behind the original game trilogy) back in 2005 and are currently out of print. Both comics are pretty short; but they do a great job introducing the reader to the characters and making you WANT to see more of them.
tl;dr: If you love fun, cartoony, and innocent action shows in the vein of Ducktales or Talespin, you will like this. I promise! :)

More importantly, the comic book format allows the series' one female lead (Inspector Carmelita Fox) to be fleshed out in a way the games just couldn't do (since Carmelita wasn't a playable character in the games at the time). She's a great character in the games; but she just SHINES with awesomeness here.

Issue One (prequel to the first and second games)



....Did I mention that this book has GORGEOUS art? Because it does!

ISSUE 2
This one is set after the second game (which had a surprisingly dark ending...) and is meant to lead into the third.

Here is the continuation to this previous doodle brainstorm post.

Hat-tip to my pal ayarane for bringing this beautiful news to me! I love you, honey!

Here's the trailer. Look upon it and feel the nostalgia overcome you!!!!!




Best of all, according to Capcom's website, EVERY SURVIVING VOICE-ACTOR IS RETURNING!!!

That's right, even Alan Young and June Foray (who are both pushing 100 freakin' years old!!!) are coming back to us! I can honestly say that this news has made my year. Even if the game sucks ass, hearing Young and Foray portray these characters again will be well worth whatever price this game sells for!

My inner raging Sly Cooper fangirl was recently re-awakened. So expect more fanart down the line.

First up is Constable Neyla

Sadly, like my poor inner Scooby Doo fan, the inner Sly fan was roused because a recent reboot dropped a fridge directly on top of the ladies in the series. But that is a rant for another day.....

In light of the release of the newest Sly Cooper game (which I will review once I've sorted out my....conflicted feelings about it >_<), here's some fanart ideas I've been sitting on for a while and finally decided to put to paper. And because I suck at drawing anthro characters because I wanted to challenge myself artistically, I humanized them.

That's it for now. I just wanted to make a happy Sly Cooper post before I tried reviewing the newest one. I HIGHLY recommend the first 3 games to anyone who loves a fun platformer and wants to play something that feels like one of the great adventure cartoons from the Disney Afternoon.

Currently recovering from working all morning and then binging on too much Thanksgiving food. So have some Wreck-It-Ralph scribbles:



zzzzzzzzz

I just finished watching a Let's Play of the game Lollipop Chainsaw (oh how I wish I had the money for new games right now!) and the urge to draw this messed up thing overwhelmed me.

Got this idea during a fit of boredom and couldn't let it go.

I'm honestly surprised no Japanese company ever approached WB to make an anime or RPG based on Scooby Doo. If nothing else, it would be interesting to see this franchise through the eyes of insane Japanese game developers.

I know I'm WAY late to the party on this one. But a few weeks ago my sister showed me an E3 trailer for a video game called 'Dead Island'. The trailer is AMAZING! And I got really excited for the game. I swear, this thing was so well done that I almost cried at the end. That's right. A video game trailer about zombies invading a beach resort almost made me cry. I'd go on, but you have to see this thing for yourself if you haven't already:
