Sly Cooper Thieves in Time Treasure Competition

There is a contest going on right now for the new Sly Cooper Thieves in Time game, made by Sanzaru Games. The contest is a treasure design for an artifact for Sly to be able to steal in the game. The winners will get a PS Vita and their treasures will be featured in the game. I was going to enter, but I am not eligible because I live in the United States and the contest is only available to people outside of the US. I decided to go ahead and finish my drawing anyway and I emailed it to Sanzaru Games anyway. I hope they view it. Obviously I won’t win but I wanted them to see it anyway. Here it is:

Mysterious Monkey Statue

The Mysterious Monkey statue is actually Sanzaru’s mascot I guess since it is part of their logo. I have seen some video previews of the game and it looks really cool. I think they have done a good job taking over the Sly Cooper series. I hope it is even better than the originals.

Here is a link to a video that shows some Sly 4 gameplay. Sorry I couldn’t embed the video itself.

The Joy Of Books Stop Motion animation

Here is a cool stop motion video of books moving around after the store is closed. I’ve done some stop motion animations before and I bet this took a long time to make! The video was made by Type Books, a Toronto bookstore. Their website looks awesome too!

 
I am also making a stop motion video for a school project myself. Stay tuned for that!

Wiki profile page update

I know that I said that I wouldn’t keep posting updates about the Sly Cooper Wiki, but I am making an exception because I have updated my profile page with fan art and links to other pages that I’ve made. I have the links at the bottom to the other pages that I’ve made on the wiki. One of the links on the page is to a story I wrote about me and my sister secretly being in the Sly Cooper Series. I’m known as Ty the Wolf in the story, and my sister is known as Ash the Leopard. I have pages for both of them too, but as of right now, I have only given a picture and basic info on the pages. Here are some pictures that I posted:

P.S. I’ve already reached 200 edits to the Sly Cooper Wiki! My 200th edit was the creation of the My Part in the Sly Cooper Story page.

More Sly Cooper Wiki updates

I made EVEN more updates to the Sly Cooper Wiki. There are a lot of things I added, so I will post the link to my page. I added pictures to the Bentley, Murray, Penelope, Clockwerk, Clues, Cooper Van, and Clockwerk Eyes pages. I am going to add more, so check out this link to my profile page to see any other updates I make. I probably won’t post here whenever I make more updates because I don’t want this to turn into the Sly Cooper blog. Then again …

P.S. I have crossed the “100 Edits” mark for the wiki. I hope to get more and get a higher status on the site.

Sly Cooper Artwork 3

Here is the third photo of my Sly Cooper Color Blanks. This is the second scene where Sly, Bentley, and Murray are about to make their getaway with the loot on top of their van. There is also Inspector Carmelita Fox in the scene, who is trying to arrest the Cooper Gang, namely Sly. There is also the mechanical villain, Clockwerk, hiding off to the side. I colored all of the Color Blanks with sharpie markers, including my latest color blank, the Cooper van. Here it is:

Sly Cooper + Kirby!

Here are some pictures that I drew that are mixtures of Sly Cooper Characters and Kirby. Sly Cooper characters are from the Sly Cooper video game series that I love so much. Kirby is a round, pink character made by Nintendo. I thought they would make a funny mixture. Here are the pictures I drew:

Sly Cooper Artwork 2

I’ve added two more characters to my Sly Cooper artwork. The girl is Inspector Carmelita Fox, who is chasing Sly Cooper. The angry owl flying above Bentley and Murray is called “Clockwerk”. Clockwerk used to be immortal until Sly destroyed him … twice. He is now destroyed, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him back in Sly Cooper Thieves In Time since the gang is using time travel. Here is a picture. By the way, the figures are called Color Blanks. I found them at Target in the art section. I color them with markers.

Garden Hose Math Maze

Here’s another maze that my math teacher gave us. This one is a little different than the others because the object is to jump over lines instead of figuring out a path. I think it makes the maze a little more fun.

Geekdad blog on Wired.com wrote an article about us!!!

We can’t believe that Geekdad wrote an article about our Interactive Advent Calendar app on wired.com! I’m so honored and excited! My dad came home on Monday and showed me the article about the app. We were high-fiving and congratulating each other. Since then I’ve been showing all of my friends and family.

 
My dad first introduced me to Geekdad a couple of years ago when they interviewed Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh, the creators of Phineas and Ferb on the Geekdad podcast. Since then we’ve enjoyed a lot of their articles and even entered a few of their contests. One of my favorite articles is the one where they promoted a “box of mystery” contest that we entered. We didn’t win that contest, but I think an article about our app is much better. Thanks Nathan Barry (@geekDadNath on Twitter) for writing such a great article!
