Just another “Platonic OT3” scene of these guys living their “normal” lives post Sly 3.
i’m sorry i just I can’t deal with this game. Penelope was my favorite. :| Spoilers, I guess?
I just felt like drawing Bentley&Penelope’s scenes from the third game
Are Penelope's parents still alive and if so, do they approve of Bentley?
Her parents have not met him yet.
YES, it's finally here! I could rattle about it's development but I did most of that in the foreword. Though I forgot to mention two details. - We included 'Original Ancestors. Don't worry there's only two of them and are an excellent and creative supplement to the Cooper bloodline in my honest opinion. They're written and illustrated in the style this zine was inspired by (the ancestral book) and we hope you enjoy them. - We also included 'Honourable Mentions' after Conner's page. I could've made a whole page just, announcing them but couldn't think of much to fill it in with SO, honourable mentions are canon characters who, in some way, shape or form assisted the Cooper family in the past. - These pages have transcripts! They're in the image description. That's all! We hope you enjoy and sharing would be appreciated! Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback on this post. I finally got around to making that Decibel comic!
I had an idea for an alternate story line for Sly 4. So I decided to sketch it out. In this one, Penelope is kidnapped and forced into building a time machine for La Paradox (instead of just agreeing to be his lackey for….reasons like she did in Sly 4). And Miss Decibel’s design doesn’t feature a hideous feathered housecoat in this comic because I couldn’t bear to draw that ugly thing over and over (and also because I think a classier outfit fits her character better)
Also, I just dug the idea of Penelope acting as a life-coach & relationship counselor in order to escape
We all know where we want her to go...
One path leads to an epic redemption quest.
The other... Well, the less we say about that, the better.
How to Create A Villain
The best villains? They don’t even see themselves as the bad guys. They’re 100% convinced that what they’re doing is right, even if it’s messed up. Maybe they’re trying to “save the world” by doing something super questionable, or they think enforcing strict rules is the only way to keep society in check. They truly believe they’re the hero of their own story, which makes them way more interesting and real.
And Yeah, your villain might want power, but the real question is: Why? Were they humiliated in the past and now want control? Did they grow up powerless and now crave it to avoid being vulnerable again? When you dig into their backstory and show us why they’re doing horrible things, it makes them a lot more relatable—even if they’re totally wrong.
Flat, one-note villains are boring. If your antagonist is going to stick with people, they need depth. Show us what’s going on under the surface. Maybe they lie awake at night, doubting their choices, or they’re still haunted by a massive failure that’s pushing them toward their goal. A villain with personal struggles and vulnerabilities feels way more human and way harder to fully
A great Villain doesn’t just fight the hero, they reflect them. They might have totally different goals, but at their core, they share similar traits, maybe ambition, stubbornness, or a tragic backstory. When the hero looks at the villain, they should see a bit of themselves, and that’s what makes the conflict between them so intense.
When the villain finally goes down, it should feel big. Their defeat shouldn’t just be a fight, it should hit them emotionally. Ideally, their downfall comes from their own flaws, maybe they got too arrogant or made a mistake because of their obsessive goal. The best villain defeats leave the audience feeling a little sad or conflicted, not just happy for the hero’s win.
