Got a PS2, about a thousand years behind the rest of the industrialized world, and have been amusing myself by working my way through the backlog of classics I never played. Naturally, given my affection for cute animals, "Sly Cooper" was bound to show up.

Cute games. Some great character designs throughout. But I was mildly miffed by the design of the main character, who is supposed to be a raccoon and is instead a grey fox with a paint job. I wouldn't pick nits about it if it were just inaccurate, but it has the Generic Furry Character thing goin' on.

Having thus complained, I am required by law to put my stylus where my mouth is and do at least a doodle of a raccoon thief that looks somewhat like a raccoon. And character design is a tricky business, and not one of my strong points, so I certainly can't say it's better, (you don't see ME selling hundreds of thousands of copies of anything to gamers, after all!) and I suspect the more conventional furries are much easier to animate, with the true bipedalism and whatnot, but I feel better for having doodled, anyway.

Plus, crowbar. Every master thief needs a crowbar. And a grappling gun, if they can get it.
