Description
Here's a rare excursion into REAL PAINT. Hands inside the vehicle, children - we're in the wild country.This was done as a Christmas gift for a friend, who loves this era and the James Bond of that period specifically.
Done on illustration board with acrylic paints. All kinds. Liquitex, Holbein, anything I had laying around that wasn't drier than a pharaoh's tomb.
I think I went with the blue & orange complimentary color theory on this one simply because they were the paints that were still wet enough to use. Seriously.

You have mad skills! This one looks awesome! Sean Connery was one of the two best James Bond, if not the best

I have to say, as someone who watched every James Bond movie growing up with his dad, I can really appreciate this peace. Beautiful job.

And to think, we live in a world where there is no James Bond comic book with covers by you. Someone should fix this.

Please buy some paint because I'm digging the old school. I love photoshop but it sure isn't what I had growing up.

But in fact the colors really worked out, because they give the sensation of old, vintage... great work here, like the relation between the NO and the reb behind, which is matching with the girl below by color, and even more, giving her more importance. Didn't see the movie, so don't know why the dots... but it's a good vintage resourse after all, and the difference between the ones behind James Bond and big one marks the real importance of the word NO, the GIRL below and of course James Bond, bacause of the contrast. I hope it means something undertandable for u

The first Playboy Magazine I ever saw was the June '65 issue with Ursula Andress in it.
I was 8. Found it in my Dad's bottom dresser drawer.

I love the simple yet bold and poppy colours - the way you nailed the realism is completely beyond me. Fantastic.

I get a bit of a Mort Drucker vibe in the shape of Sean's head and in Ursula's hair and legs. I love it.

I require this to be on my wall... This is amazing! I'm glad you only had blue and orange paint left, because it looks fantastic.
Dr. No is my second favourite Bond film of all time. Goldfinger has to be the first!

Composition, colors and vintage feel is great. But Connery does look gay. Sorry.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
even though you were limited in resources the color choice kinda captures the spirit of the 60's in some since.....If that makes sense?
Awesome job though!

Dude you drew Connery gay. (I know gays, I live in Austin. I know the looks they give.)
He looks like a gay bartender.
You know you're good. Laugh at yourself.

very cool. its got that 60s charm oozing out of it.

You know, so you did run out of paints but it kind of looks like the 60's with the colors you were using. I'm serious. It's really cool. Also, you're one of the first people I've seen who hasn't screwed up Sean Connery's face. It must have been hard to do.

On the contrary, this Connery looks like a sleepy gay cabana boy.

This is the most brilliant thing I've seen in a while.
Well done.

Oh man, this reminds me of how I felt about James Bond when I was a littlun. Gotta love the 60s feel about this: the vibrant colors and pattern. I have several bookcases of hand me downs from my siblings, and there were a couple of tattered Ian Fleming books around. Probably straight from the 60s. O.o With the torn edge you painted on, it sorta looks like it should be on on of those books.
