I added new Sly Cooper photos

I added some new Sly Cooper photos to the Sly Cooper Wiki. I added a lot this time, so I linked to my page with all my contributions. Today I added pictures for a bunch of the different Clockwerk parts, Carmelita, and the Crystal Vase. I am hoping that the Crystal Vase will be chosen as the “Loot Of The Month” for February. The Burial Urn picture I added on January 1 was chosen for the January “Loot Of The Month”.

 
By the way, the icon for my user page is one of Sly Cooper’s ancestors named Rioichi, who specializes in ninja techniques.

I uploaded a video to the Sly Cooper Wiki

Here is a playthrough video I created showing the Sly Cooper 2 Band Of Thieves mission Operation: Hippo Drop. I uploaded it to the Sly Cooper Wiki. Operation Hippo Drop is one of the important missions in Sly Cooper 2. It is the last mission in episode 2. In the mission, users have to bomb a bridge as Bentley, dance with Carmelita to distract the crowd as Sly, and protect Murray while he makes a getaway with the Clockwerk wings with the RC chopper. One of my favorite parts in the mission is when Sly dances with Carmelita and distracts the crowd from Murray stealing the Clockwerk wings.

 

Sly Cooper Wiki

I uploaded photos to my favorite wiki today. It is the Sly Cooper wiki. I uploaded photos to the Rajan, Arpeggio, Jean Bison, Dimitri, Burial Urn (Special Loot), and the Clockwerk Wings pages. I took pictures of some of the Sly Cooper 2 screens today and uploaded those pictures to the wiki. I had to do some photoshopping to be able to upload them. Here is the link:

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.

We submitted our app to the iTunes store!

My dad and I have been working on an iPad app for the last month. The app is an interactive advent calendar. I drew two characters that live in an igloo. Every day, starting December 1, users can open up a new present every day for the characters to interact with. I drew all the artwork on paper, then I colored all of it in Photoshop. I learned a lot of Photoshop features that I didn’t know about before. I also created some frame based animation for the different items. I’ve created some games on my own before this, but this is the first time I ever worked on one so detailed. My dad taught me some programming basics like functions, event listeners, arrays, objects and other geeky stuff. My little sister helped with the sound effects.

 
Here is some artwork from the calendar. I will post another update when the app is in the store. We are hoping to also put the app in the Android Marketplace.

Happy Birthday Sly!

It’s Sly Cooper’s birthday! Today is the ninth anniversary of when Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus was released. This is one of the video games that started it all for me. I still remember the day that my dad rented it. He went to the video store to rent “Donald Duck Going Quackers.” The store didn’t have that game, so my dad decided to rent Sly Cooper instead. Without Sly I may not be into video games as much, have taken a game creator class, or have made this blog or my podcast! To celebrate this memorable day, I have made some fan art as a birthday present that I would like to share. Happy Birthday Sly!
