- EDIT 5/17/19: I was reading over everyone's kind comments and just wanted to say THANK YOU AGAIN for supporting my work!!

Done at last!! After a couple months of prepping and a frantic tight schedule working with a 21 day trial of Storyboard Pro... it is complete!
First things first, NO I will NOT be animating this fully in the future! I don't like to animate anymore. I DO love storyboarding, though, so this was fun for me and this is as far as it gets!
For Sly Cooper fans: Please don't complain if you aren't into my interpretations of the characters. This is how I personally like to draw them, and if you dislike them for whatever reason, you can keep it to yourself. Neyla, for instance, I visualize as a cat instead of a tiger, so that's why I draw her that way! I kept Sly, Murray, and Bentley more in-line with their canon designs because I knew people would fuss the most over them. But the rest I just chose to do my own way because that's how I like it.
With that out of the way, I want to thank several people for supporting me during the creation of this project. StupidShepherd for dealing with my nonsense and keeping me on track, Vlorrie/paperdonkeys for doing this challenge with me in the first place (If we didn't I never would have even started this!), PeregrineFalconLady for being my fellow Arpeggio-lover and supporting this, and Tristikov for redlining some of my panels, giving me some feedback, and checking up on the progress! Plus, the entire Sly Cooper Community, here on UA-cam, Twitter, Amino, etc. You guys rock!
Also thanks to an old user named W0LFfreak23, because I used to be obsessed with their "Flawed Design" video back in the olden days of UA-cam... and I put several nods towards that video in here! :) I won't link the video in case they don't want people looking at it since it IS so old, but I simply had to toss credit where credit is due!
I really enjoyed working on this project and I hope you enjoyed viewing it! Arpeggio is best evil birb. RIP.
That... was the coolest thing I've seen that's come from that game. Nicely done. I really liked the beginning, seeing the whole villain gang from that game together. Nice.
Ahh, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Especially the part with the gang all together :)
@@AlfaFilly AS A Fan to this myseLf i have to agree with everyone here who is a fan to The SLY Cooper games🎮.
Sooo sad cry emoji
I LOVED Sly 2 when I was younger!!! This brought back so many memories, and also gave Arpeggio's story a lot more depth and details.... It also made the whole story a lot sadder.
Thank you so much for making this!! It was so good!!!
Sly 2 was my jaaaam! I can't tell you how many times I replayed it growing up!
I'm glad you enjoyed this and that you found it sad aha I was hoping for that... sadly :D Thank you!!
That's phenomenal. This makes me feel remorseful for Arpeggio.
Thank you! I'm glad it did. Even if he's still a little evil jerk!
I sure hope the producers will bring back Arpeggio as a survivor of Neyla's attack in the next sequel
This is beautiful. You did the story more justice than the actual game. Seeing Sly actually intervene and try to save Arpeggio rather than standing there doing nothing like in the cutscene got me so pumped. Seeing Neyla use Clockwerk's body to torment and dominate him rather than simply snapping the beak shut over him as he vainly demands and tries to conjure up some kind of threat made me hate her even more.
Thank you so much!! I definitely think that scene could have been improved... Really a shame! Ahh well, I'm glad I could help at least! :D
This is absolutely amazing. I really like seeing things from the claw gang perspective. As everyone of this villains (maybe not the contessa) all have relatable emotional back stories and are all people in their universe who have hopes and dreams and care from nothing (compared to the empires they’ve created)
Sorry I seemed to miss replying to you! But thank you so much for the kind words!! And I think you explained the villains quite well~
0:17 and 2:51 you're a monster! How dare you create an amazing character arc and story successfully, and then right when we are too far into investing, pull on our heart strings! He was so close to reaching his dreams of using his wings and flying, to feel the air hit his face as he flew wherever he desired, then he was betrayed by the one he trusted most. That was sad and cold, and it just makes the betrayal actually mean something.
Blame the one who wrote the story, not the one recounting it
I......I really don't any words to describe how unbelievable AMAZING this is, I love the character design, the in-depth story of them all, the break-in scene, Neyla's betrayal throughout the story and the look of genuine hurt Arpeggio expresses at the end. Everything is so well put together and this must have taken you DAYS to make! Mh-hmm, what I'm trying to say is that you did an incredible job
Thank you so much for the kind words! It took me 18 days to draw the frames, and about a month before that planning it! So definitely a lot of time aha
The execution of the story was so well done, a perfect representation of Sly 2 and it isn't even my favorite game in the series, it makes you feel so bad for Arppegio, he was doing this for a good reason, even if it meant bringing back the Cooper bloodline's greatest enemy.
Or planning to drive an entire city insane
sly is memories man!
This is so cool
This is such a genuinely thoughtful, poignant, and emotional take on a villain’s story. The last shots of Arpeggio futilely backing away from the monolithic Clockla shattered my heart. Beautiful work here, my friend. Bravo.
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it!
You made such a great Animatic/Storyboard that I cried at the end. I wish you luck on what you plan to do next.
Ahh thank you! I'm very glad it affected you as such! And thanks for the luck~
@@AlfaFilly you are welcome.
The way these characters look makes the story a lot more powerful than their cartoony game counterparts did.
I'm glad you think they work out! I hoped to retain the spirit of their cartoon selves, even if in my own style.
God Damn Neila, that no good traitor, playing with Sly's emotions. Glad she got what she deserved, loved the animation, I'm also one of your watchers on DA
I wish if i counted how many times i replayed this storyboard animation , but for sure it's countless . I just love this so so much 💕💕
After adjusting to the character designs, I find they've grown on me quite a bit, especially Neyla. You did a phenomenal job giving us a flowing visual storyboard/animatic that matches up so well with the song you picked. I think its safe to say that I've rewatched this more times then I can count and I'm beyond glad you decided to make it. Beautiful work!
Neyla's design has really grown on me since I initially designed her. I know some people disagree with my choice to make her a cat instead of a tiger, but I am glad some people appreciate it even so! Thank you for your kind words!
@@AlfaFilly my favorite redesign was Dimitri
I always felt bad for Arpeggio. Even his bad intentions.
You have given a minute of a villain more character development than Sucker Punch. How your not hired is beyond me. This was great!
😍😍😍WOW😍😍😍
Holy hell, this is really impressive! The effort you put into this definitely shines through, well done!
Thank you so, so much! I'm glad you dig it!
Hey dude I just gotta say this is really fucking good and you should be proud of yourself, this brought back a lot of memories and showed stuff that's not showed in the game. I found that really interesting
AHH thank you!! I'm very glad you enjoyed it and that my additions were fitting!
That anthropomorphic character design, especially for the Klaw Gang, is top notch!
Thank you so very much! I'm glad you enjoyed them!
Wow! all the effort you put into this has definitely payed off! You brought many shapes to an otherwise one dimensional character from the franchise. I think you single handily made Arpeggio one of may favorite Sly Cooper Characters. :) This Video made my day
You added so much depth and expression to Neyla and Arpeggio, it kind of makes the game version pale in comparison. I love your designs and the facial expressions, the last minute especially felt like a punch to the gut. I love this!
sorta makes you feel for Arpeggio a little don"t it?
That was certainly the intention so I'm glad it worked!
This is beautiful. The background music, your artistic interpretation, the way you drew out the storyboard, it's all beautiful. Thanks for this.
Aww thank you so much!!
I just finished my first 100% of sly 2 (I’ve played it my whole life but just came back to do a run with all the bottles) and this is the first thing I saw afterwards. This is so real you were so right for this you have a huge brain and I love it thank you for your vision. Also I liked your designs
I honestly forgot that arpeggio dies in the game, probably because I never saw it as a death as a kid. This animatic hits me right in my childhood, and it is beautifully well made. I especially love how you drew clockwork, it gave me chills just seeing him once again, and how you made the parts of him rising up and moving was astounding.
Aww, thank you so much!! It's quite enjoyable drawing Clockwerk now that I got the hang of him. He was tough beforehand!
I hereby set on record that I found your wonderful channel thanks to this video 😢💕
A sad video to start on but I'm glad you found me! :D Thank yoooou!
This turned out great, really nice work! (Especially considering the time frame you made it in too!)
Thanks! I am surprised I didn't get tendonitis again AHA
This is some really emotional stuff and the art style is very impressive I might add
That was beautiful... hit me right in the feels T_T
Thank you!! ;v;
It would be incredibly neat if Arpeggio comes back in Sly Cooper 5 (if there's going to be one) as an animal who survived Neyla's ignorant attack while still permanently unable to fly where at first, the guards, including Inspector Fox, arrest him for the crimes he committed previously, but of course, they all forget to mirandize him, so the judge simply lets the parrot go immediately. Soon after, Arpeggio becomes good from now on, knowing there's no point being bad, & teams up with Sly Cooper himself as a playable character we can all control. By then, Arpeggio lives longer than we hoped. That should be perfect.😁
Why does Dimitri look like he could be an Elvis impersonator
(That actually fits his character a bit too)
I just want to thank you for this extraordinary animated video, I love Sly Cooper, especially the second game, and your art gives exactly the same vibe that I feel when I played, thank you!
Thank you for the nice compliment!!
THIS IS AMAZING!! I love love your style and expressions! Sly cooper is honestly so under-rated, and it always makes me happy when I see people make stuff for it! Especially this!! This is just phenomenal! Keep up the amazing work!!
Oh man that gave me chills... Amazing work!
Wow I wasn't excepting this to be so good. But my gosh this was perfect. Bro you have what it takes to make a mini series animation of sly, as well as the music just fit with every frame, "flawed design" I found a new favorite song.
Beautiful video. The animation was great and music fit perfectly. Arpeggio was an underrated character and villain and I really wished we got more of him or faced him in some form of a boss battle.
The first video with no dislikes....amazing
This was really cool and well made! Putting the story and perspective into the enemies point of view is a unique take and it really made me sympathize!
God fucking damn it, now you just made Sly 2 THREE times as sad. Especially when you humanized Neyla and Arpeggio's relationship.
ok this is my favorite thing in youtube
AA I remember watching this within minutes of you postin it and revisiting it now, I still absolutely adore how you did all this, like wow. You did a great job then and I still enjoy seein yer content now 👌🏼👌🏼
AHH thank yooou that's so kind ;v; This is still such an ambitious project that I fondly look back on. I'm really glad you can still enjoy it too!! Also heck yes to being one of the OG viewers!!
@@AlfaFilly yeah!! I remember being so excited to watch and being so blown away the first time, I still get blown away each time I watch, its just that awesome :]]
Woah this is amazing you did a fantastic job well done
This video is like the Joker movie: It makes you see the villain in a sympathetic light😔
Neyla is evil 😮
I can’t say I ever thought I’d end up crying for Arpeggio. Well done.
Always felt bad for him because he was the mastermind behind everything and just died in his first scene, crushed by a giant robotic beak. I had a dream as a kid that there was a boss fight against him. It was kind of like Dr M’s but on his burning and crashing blimp.
I also have had dreams about boss fighting him! Cept mine were more like Penelope's fight in Thieves in Time where he was in a big mech suit aha Your dream sounds better
AlfaFilly
It was wild! There was even a part where he was in his bird cage thing looking down on my as I had to navigate my way through a maze of his bookshelves. Such wasted potential on Suckerpunch’s part imo
You have a UA-cam channel?! You made this phenomenal storyboard?! (NostalgiaJunkie from RB btw.) Just happened to come across this video and thought your username sounded familiar! Then remembered why, lol.
I love the way you depicted everything. Even though Sly 2 is much darker compared to the other games, some of the more serious details get glossed over because of the game's E rating. This does those situations justice. You did those situations justice. I also enjoy seeing other people's interpretations of filling in blanks left by the games' story. It's fun stuff to think about. Seeing the Klaww Gang storm the museum and taking out security guards without prejudice looks akin to what their break-in was described as in the game. You did an amazing job.
Thanks so much!!! :D I'm very glad people dig the museum sequence because I was quite proud of that myself! It's a lot of fun filling in the gaps and definitely gets my creativity flowing!
This video deserves more attention
Like if you want a rajan one next
R.I.P. Sam A. Mowry, voice of Arpeggio. 1959-2024
This is the best fan animation I've ever seen for sly cooper the art style is so cool!! You are so very talented and amazing.
Beautiful just beautiful for words
Sly looks cute also it’s a sad story
If Arpeggio comes back alive as a reformed citizen, yet a new partner for Sly Cooper for a playable character, who agrees with him still remaining flightless, even as a penguin, permanently?
I never thought I would ever care about Arpeggio as a character, but this video has changed my mind.

Aha, all a part of my plan! Thank you!
Interesting take on Sly, he strikes me as drawn more like a stoat here. Anyway, shame I can't get this version of Flawed Design on Apple Music or Spotify.
Hopefully Sly Cooper will come back with Arpeggio as a survivor of Neyla's mindless attack.
I really like it so much because I really think that it looked very interesting and very fascinating to see that 🌟.
You are so amazing 🌟.
Thank you so much!! You're amazing too!
AlfaFilly you are very welcome and god bless your kind heart ❤️.
Neyla, she who betrayed Sly, Carmelita, The Countessa, Arpiggio and everyone else around her. And for what? Greed, power, hate and influence. In the end she was condemned by all, and left to die alone, hated.
3:26 the big Bird 🦉 eats the small bird🐦
(Those who seen Adventure time will get it) and this was Amazing
☹😩😭
Holy fuck- I don't know shit about Sly Cooper, but now I want to. This animatic fucking slaps hard
No dialogue was needed to make one feel something here. Nice job syncing the sequence with the music. It makes me wish they showed more of this in the actual game. Still love it to death though ❤
Unbelievably amazing. I like how it shows the events leading to the Clockwerk parts theft.
Thank you! I liked playing with the idea of how behind-the-scenes stuff like that could have worked, so I'm glad!
Excellent !!!
What about the same for Neyla backstory ?
Oh my god this is great!
Why UA-cam didn't showed this master piece earlier?! :D
The end was so sad holy shit
Destroyin' your heart one birb at a time
Wow this is really cool I love this so much
I just discovered that masterpiece you sir have a lot of talent
Thank you!! (I'm a lady actually ^^)
@@AlfaFilly well you Lady have more talent that I can dream of having and it's so cool to use it for such an underrated series ^^
Thanks for the answer and good luck on new projects
I finished sly 2 yesterday and when at the end credits it didnt show anything for arpeggio i was so shocked for some reason like idk i thought they would pull something off like maybe he was just trapped inside clock-la but NOPE he fuckin DEAD what the FUCK
I know right!! Apparently a LOT of people have mentioned similar expectations to just... nothing. It's very depressing.
I'm a bit late for this particular comment but this animation gives Arpeggio more character than Sucker punch ever gave him, in my personal opinion of course.
It's amaziiiiing!!!! ❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️
this was INTENSE omg im i love the progression and that ending D: i loved this sm
Please do thieves in time please
That's a hell a lot of frames.
I have never seen a Sly Cooper fan animatic, I think it’s awesome!
0:40
wait why 40 seconds lol
@@AlfaFilly Just marking my place in the video so I wouldn't have to start over.
Anyways, great animation, you've really displayed the emotion of the characters.
This is literally the coolest fucking shit I've ever seen and u picked an awesome angst song to pair it with. 20/5 stars, amazing
Cool work AlfaFilly
Thanks so much!
AMAZING!!
Man I fricken love Sly Cooper, I played those games to much as a kid! Underrated series right there
This is so wonderful! It was absolutely stunning, in fact. I haven't really thought about these two since I was a child, but this animatic definitely gave me a new appreciation for them.
Ahhh I'm very glad to hear it evoked that feeling for you!
Nice
:(
Почему у этого шедевра так мало лайков? Господи это прекрасно!!!❤❤❤
C’est vraiment bien dessiner et imaginer bravo mec 👍
I needed this in my life. Thank... U
I like this video but arpeggio has a mustache
The mustache is ugly and I never draw him with it LOL Even some of his concept art when you google it doesn't have it! So I have an excuse LMAO
Ok
I remember it was the very first game I got for my ps2 back in the day and to this day I feel norstalgic then playing the game today and this is my eyes a masterpiece. it really gave me a different perspective of Appedio and I really liked the way you portrait neyla she really was one of the worst kind of villains and I think u portraited it really really well amazing job you did
Thank you so much!! And same, but the 1st Sly game for me waaay back in 2002!
A ... masterpiece!
I started tearing up at the end for Arpeggio
Amazing work!
Zero likes hope it stays that way :)
The plan for Arpeggio in the game is so racist.
Is it? How so? I’ve never heard anyone say that before and I’m curious now!
@AlfaFilly Simple. It's just that every time film producers, plus, authors, work on something that can fly, they always make them dumb, mean, incompetent, bland, pushed around (especially by the main characters), and severely torn-up in horrible ways imaginable. Same thing they do to flightless counterparts. My point is can we have free-flyers & flightless counterparts who are sweet, intelligent, kind, professionally educational, wise, wholesome, mature, very strong (physically & mentally), peaceful, clean, neatly lucky, & respected?
@@jarviscarr1327 Actually we have plenty of flying character who have this positive traits.
-Falcon from Marvel Universe
-Soren from "Legend of the Guardians"
-Toothless from "How to Train Your Dragon"
-Rafael from "Rio"
-many characters from Studio Ghibli (like Kiki from "Kiki's Delivery Service")
@@kwasny6920 Really? I'll look into that
@@kwasny6920 Thanks. I'll look them up.
Great job on this production. ^^
Thanks so much!
You're welcome, AlfaFilly. :)
I hope they make a new Sly Cooper game where Arpeggio comes back as a cyborg and he gets more depth and details
Good thinking
@@Mwah_rayray Thanks, I want a story of Arpeggio surviving and he rebuilt himself as a cyborg and becomes very powerful and he can fly.
That'd be awesome!! That or like... well, if they are still using the time machine, they could go back in time to when he was alive. I always like the idea of them messing with alternative universes too. Like they enter a timeline where he did not die or he did something differently and the outcome changed... etc. Would be cool!
@@AlfaFilly he deserves better in I want him to be a very big threat and have a store where he learned that Nilea died and he doesn't care anymore all he wants is to proof that he's the smartest bird proves to be more of a threat than clock-la
