"No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"

Alright guys, got another Bond villain for you! Auric Goldfinger in his towel-suit from the pool scene in Goldfinger.

I thought about drawing him during the laser scene, but after watching St. Cloud from Venture Bros. wear the same pool outfit during Spanakopita, I couldn't resist.

Also, Sean Connery had some of the best villains. Everything about Goldfinger was awesome. The gold theme, the weapon, the lair, the speech... Don't worry though, I'll save you from any golden-era puns. Even I'm not that awful.

Villain Challenge!

Hey guys! Back with the next James Bond villain! Today is Rosa Klebb in her maid outfit, seen in From Russia With Love.

You may remember her as the woman with poison-tipped knives hidden in her shoes that retract. It may not seem like too crazy of a weapon, but think of how iconic they've become. Gustav Graves had the giant laser in space (Die Again Another Day), but Klebb's dangerous shoes are more memorable.

Also, when I showed people the work in progress, almost everybody shuddered at her appearance. Well she got to spend all day training muscular men wearing nothing but hand cloths around their wastes, so I like to think she was comfortable with how she looked.

Speaking of villains with iconic weapons, next up will be Goldfinger.

New Challenge!

Aloha! So I've been reworking character designs for a story of mine that is heavily influenced by the James Bond series. As a little challenge to myself, I'll be drawing every main Bond villain, along with a few unique henchmen (like Jaws).

I'm starting this thing off with Dr. Julius No, from the first film, Dr. No. I'm not the biggest fan of the movie, but Dr. No is a pretty awesome Bond villain. Mad scientist, mechanical hands, a sleek and simple jumpsuit, and an awesome underwater lair. Awesome way to kick this off.


I have a feeling that this challenge is going to be a blast to draw. If it works out, I might move on to Bond actors and Bond girls when I finish.
