Given that my namesake IS FilmmakerJ, I tried to actually approach this piece from a cinematic perspective. It still ends up looking more like a promotional image in the end, but working across a wide frame like this with the extra levels of lighting I gave it was a great change of pace for me back in 2017.

Also yes, Sly is missing his tail. The composition forced me to exclude it at the time, and I just didn't remember to try and add it later. I decided to leave it as-is.

I still like the original Sly Cooper game the most, but I've grown to equally enjoy the gameplay elements of Sly 2, given that the same structure of "recon, strategy, and game-plan execution" has been used to great effect for newer games like Dishonored and The Witcher 3.
