Steampunk Sly Cooper & Environment


Final version of reinvented Sly Cooper and environment.
I had a lot of trouble coloring the environment, because I wanted a metallic feel to it, but as I discovered, I couldn't really convey the right feeling with just the flats for this one.
Hence the painting was done really last minute and although I like to work in a really quick and not really refined manner, it took so much longer than I thought it would. There were a lot more details and places that needed attention that I didn't take into consideration.
As for Sly, I wish I had gotten to pay more attention to him; for one, the colors darkened way more than I thought they would on the school's print lab printer. I printed a sample from my own and it looked completely fine, but on the actual print, the colors came out horribly anyway. Blech. Proof you can never win against the print lab. It is a have-to-lose final boss battle.
With these, I am relatively happy with the way they turned out, though I would definitely like to revisit them at some point, refine and fix some problem areas.
