Description My other doodle of Sly's parents can be found here .

I just felt like drawing a picture of Sly's parents going on one of their first dates.


Artist's Notes
Fan artists who draw their vision of what Sly’s mother might look like tend to make her just another gray raccoon like Sly. However, I think it’s more fun to imagine that she looked radically different from the other Coopers. And, since squirrels are adorable (and also good climbing animals); why not a squirrel?


IMO, this also fits in better with canon because the games made it clear that Sly looks like a clone of his dad. So it’s very likely that he doesn’t bear any physical resemblance to his mother. So I think it's fun to imagine that Mama Cooper was the complete physical opposite of what Coopers typically look like (i.e. she's short, chubby, and brightly colored)




Special thanks to Earthstar for the inspiration behind Mama Cooper’s design

*grins* I just love the concept that we came up for Sly's mom.  It does make more sense if his mom wasn't a raccoon as well, especially since Sly himself is attracted to a fox. XP

I'm REALLY glad the three of us brainstormed this AU (even if we have neglected it lately LOL). Thanks again for coming up with the idea to make her a squirrel. It fit so well and really helped the design fall into place!

Yeah, agreed.  Sorry, we haven't done as much stuff with it for awhile.  Stu's just been really focus on finishing his thesis and me getting writing done.

Don't feel bad. I totally get that real life has to come first. Work/life has been nuts for me lately, too.
