Perhaps the funniest secret was that Sean Connery really didn't like the role of James Bond, and was reluctant to take the part from the start; Ian Fleming, who created the character, didn't think the Scottish actor was at all appropriate for the job ~~calling him an overgrown stuntman.Now most Bond fans see him as the quintessential James Bond.

That's a quite interesting secret :)
ReplyDeleteMy two favourite bonds are, indeed, Sean and Daniel - and they couldn't be more different :)
Yes...he's the quintessential Bond. Spot on illo, as ever :)
ReplyDeleteYou are always so good at getting the essence of an individual with your caricatures. Nice one!
ReplyDeleteHaha wow, you really got that look in his eye. So great how you changed the eyebrows. Though - who is that guy in the first sketch? Did you start over or work from that? Love the blues. So cool!
ReplyDeleteGreat work, love the subtle colors.
ReplyDeleteGreat character, so good. I love the angular style in the face
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful face, Richard! Love those eyebrows! Your background wash keeps me circling and enjoying it's subtle color shifts ... and discovering one of Bond's secret ladies. Truly excellent!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful process and finish
ReplyDeleteYou nailed it with the eyes and the brows! Interesting secret, too!! I grew up with the Roger Moore version, myself....
