Description
As I had promised to ; I created a picture commemorating his feat of finishing his 'Thief of Virtue' comic. This massive undertaking of his took quite a few years to complete.As one who knows what time and dedication is needed to complete such a work; I am impressed he saw it through to the end. Of all my time here on Deviantart I only completed one comic story of my own; based off TUFF PUPPY not so much Sly. (That being 'The Most Dangerous Blame.')
Dangerous Blame was about seventy-eighty pages. Connor's was well over four hundred by the time it was completed.
So congratulations on seeing it through to the end.
And to anyone out there ambitious enough to create their own epic fan comic; if you see it through to the end you earn my upmost respect for it too. For something as long and ambitious as 'Thief of Virtue' I see it as something I can relate to in wanting to see my own epic yarns coming to their conclusion while gathering my own fans old and new to be inspired by it.
So this pic's for you . I do hope you enjoy it! Congratulations on reaching the end. Best of luck to your future endeavors. :3
The beginning of 'Thief of Virtue' can be found here. You'll notice quite an increase in art quality over time as you read through it; which I recommend you do.
Anyways; the structure of the characters are as follows:
In the top tier we have the main villains of the story: Drake being the most prominent holding three crystals in his hand; with what appears to be Clockwerk to his left in the BG and his own dark alter ego on the right.
From left to right in descending order are Drake's main villainous henchmen. His own 'Fiendish Five' is you will.
Colonel Zahn in the top left; Lady Venom right below. Then to her right is Cesar Deroque, Kevin Turbo and Master Kre. Kre kind of became an after thought so sorry he looks like crap. XD Sorry Kevin's hand flashing the piece sign looked weird too. But I'm actually quite pleased how Cesar turned out. Lookit him dead center though. You think he's the leader. XD
At the bottom is the Cooper gang itself. Murray, Bentley, Sly and Carmelita. I had to add the Sly logo above them; there was empty space between them and the villains and it looked terrible. Guess I needed better planning. Well....At least it's a nice fitting center piece to connect them together. (I guess
To the Gang's left and right are other allies/enemies that the Cooper gang encountered throughout the story while trying to stop Drake and his minions. Ice the red haired ninja squirrel and below her Vick Dodger who is Drake's Number 2. (Heh heh...Number 2. ;3) To the right is Director Dominic Taurus and below him the insecure (yet strangely well built) Eddard Grey...More commonly known as Ned. (In that description alone it almost seems like I described Ned Flanders. Sorry Connor. XD)
Taurus I was particularly proud of with that huge profile of his looking deep into thought. I say he's among my favorite designs of the fan heroes/villains used in the story. He really looks like he fits into the Sly universe.
But there you have it. :3 It was fun doing this project.
Oh....And for those who might want me to do something with their OCs, it all depends. I did this because for one artist to complete something like this is impressive and I admire that. There are other ambitious artists and writers out there with their own ideas. Showing your enthusiasm and dedication just my inspire me to make something like this too; particularly if it's a fan comic.
Sly Cooper, Carmelita Montoya Fox, Bentley the turtle and Murray the hippo belong to Sony.
Drake, Colonel Zahn, Lady Venom, Cesar Deroque, Kevin Turbo, Master Kre, Ice the squirrel, Vick Dodger, Dominic Taurus and Eddard Grey belong to

He does know Thief of Virtue doesn't mean what he thinks it means right?

This group picture you've done featuring these characters who are part of the "Sly Cooper" universe (include many of the fan characters featured in it) looks very nice and impressive for sure, man.

Whoa! That's an amazing poster man! I love it so much I'd buy it if I had money.
It also made me want to read the comic, so if you excuse me.

Extremely good work on all of these different characters; both the game characters and OCs. All of these cool looking characters are grouped up here for a very epic piece. A lot of attention to detail is paid here, and placing the Sly logo there was a smart move.
Awesome job on this, my friend. ^^

Holy...!?!Β
I love this! Thank you SOOO much! I don't even have words!
I'm so glad my work has inspired you. It was a long and hard endeavor, but it was completely worth the effort. I've grown so much artistically and I've gotten to know so many great people because of it.
These characters look so cool in your style. Believe me, Kre doesn't look like crap. In fact, I love it - it really gives me thoughts about refining his original design. And Turbo looks great with his hair and face. But you're totally right, Cesar looks fantastic. Ice has a nice twist in perspective, and I like it a lot! XDΒ
Seriously, thanks a billion. I remember you mentioned doing something like this, but I had no idea it would be so soon. I'm going to be looking at this all day and smiling Β Β

Your reaction pleases me. ;D
No words are necessary. Glad you will look at it over and over again like Frodo with The Ring. XD Ahhhhh, my precious ;3
I didn't think it would be this soon either honestly. But one night I just sat down and started it. The ideas just kept coming into my head until I worked on it non-stop and what resulted was this.
Glad you're happy as Godzilla stomping on a fresh new city to destroy. XD

Oh, I'm even happier. I love this!

Really cool tribute to that comic, Chris!
I read through the comic myself, and I to enjoyed it. The story was engaging, the humor was there, the characters were awesome, and it REALLY felt like an actual Sly Cooper game come to life. I gotta give extra props for making a Sly Cooper comic that's worthy of the series' name.
The villains he made were also pretty awesome. My personal favorites being Drake himself, Zahn, Turbo, and Caesar. And, since you brought up TUFF, I gotta admit the characters do look a bit like TUFF characters (maybe it's the artstyle ). Also, I'm SUPER glad Sly didn't go missing this time around.
Oh, and my cameo one of Lady Venom's pages. NICE!
Overall, nice tribute, Chris! He's gonna flip when he sees this!

I suspect he will be pleased. ;3
With all the work he put into; it certainly deserves credit where credit is due. So a tribute pic was in order I felt.
Perhaps they do look rather TUFF-esque. XD Then again Sly characters could easily translate into that fandom could they not? XD
Thanks John. Appreciate the kind words. :3

No doubt about THAT.
Exactly. In fact, I think his story should be made into a movie. That would be pretty sweet.
Maybe they do. I can at least them making background appearances in "TUFF: Team Katswell" since the show's caput. As for Sly and TUFF sharing the same universe? With the fanart goin' around, it seems inevitable at this point. ^^
You're welcome as always, Chris. ^^
