Description I had a lot of fun mixing up the 2D cartoony elements with the more finished, rendered work here - something very hard to do in paint, which is another good reason to go digital. I had so much fun on this strip!

Jeez, this photorealistic almost. Is it possible for you to use an actor to render a character face like you did here or could there be any problems? Mike Deodato does that a lot too, like with Norman Osborn, casting Tommy Lee Jones as a reference, and I always wonder if there isn't any legal possible problem.

Lots of guys use actors as ref - even Frazetta used to do it, and Al Williamson. But in this case it's meant to be a likeness of Sean Connery as the story is a parody and features ALL the actors who played Bond (only they've got different names.)

Jesus, the amount of people saying that I'm starting to get paranoid! The story is a Bond parody, so they're all in it. Hopefully they'd see the funny side. I'm not strictly doing Sean, but rather his famous alter-ego.

Now excuse me while I pack my bags and run away to some secret location miles from anywhere...
