Doctor Julius No

Now that I’ve convinced myself these are my takes on Bond villains and not just portraits of the actors that played them, I feel liberated and am going to spend another day on them.

First up is Doctor No, originally played by Joseph Wiseman. Ā After studying a source photo and liking both the black in his artificial hand and the purple shadows against his neutral coloured top, I thought I’d limit the colours in this one. Ā There are just black, yellow, purple, two flesh tones and two greys in there. Ā The yellow and purple contrast nicely against each other and all the white in his face makes him look less than human. Ā He also reminds me of my secondary school headmaster (RIP Dr Crellin) – it’s interesting to see these extra characters slipping in and contaminating these portraits.
I do like this one. Ā It’s not going up for sale just yet, instead being added to the Bond villain collection that I’m building up.
