O.O.S.S.S. - Sketchpage by Luci
Original art by the ever-lovely
Luciellia! Her sketches always exude ample energy and heart. <3

50 years ago, on December 18th, 1969, 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' had its Royal Premiere in London!
The above scenes are from the Sond version of said film, known as 'On Our Sovereign's Ssssecret Service' :}===<
~
The first sketch is nearly the first scene in the film, wherein Sond fights on a beach (and in the surf), against two assailants who set upon him after he saves a mysterious ermine woman from drowning herself. The woman flees the scene Such is the intriguing beginning of the grand plot of this classic feature.
The middle drawing is during a car chase where - surprisingly - Sond is the passenger! His lady love, the stoat from the beach, whom he has by now fallen in love with and been courting for some time, Tracy, has found him in his hour of need, and is helping him make good his [dangerously-chilly-for-a-reptile] escape from the clutches of Blofeld, the arch-villain of the Sond series. They're careening along the snowy roads of the Swiss alps in her red 1969 Mercury Cougar XR-7 convertible, chased by a 1963 Mercedes-Benz 220 S filled with guards and Irma Bunt, Blofeld's second-in-command.
The last of the trio of scenes is one of the climatic confrontations: a battle and chase upon two bobsleds has become a hand-to-hand and body-to-body fight upon the sinister centipede's sled. Blofeld and Sond, finally duking it out after 5 movies of the shadowy antagonist pulling strings from behind the scenes! The two are opposites, one a dark mirror of the other, and well-matched.

That bobsled fight at the end is one of my all-time favorite fights in the entire Bond franchise. And the music... I haven't seen the movie in years but I can still hear it in my head. Pitch perfect!
And Diana Rigg... man, her character was perfect too. The oddity of having her drive in the case scene, having her actually being uninterested in him and running away from him, all of it really make him falling in real love with her so believable, and the ending so sad.
Definitely one of the great Bond movies; and I love your choices for the Sond versions here too; and I love how you emphasize the mountain escape is extra dangerous for a reptile! I imagine the avalanche scene would have been truly terrifying for all the Sond fans to watch!

Oh, certainly, I'm trying to write something to go with another 'OOSSS' picture [this one: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/29372003/ ] which is all about the extra-dangerous-for-a-reptile-and-super-extra-bad-for-a-snake-without-the-proper-attire snow and cold on top of the elite guards out to hunt him down.
And yes, Diana Rigg as Tracy was just.. the best. <3 That's what made it all the more sad in the end. T___T
I think by the time the avalanche scene happens, Sond at least has a more complete snow-outfit on, but it's still 'positively chilling' as I think the announcer said, in the film trailer, when the wall of snow was rushing at our reptilian rogue. :}===<
Thanks again for your lovely comments, Matthias.

Ah, very cool trio there! I look forward to more Sondian adventures in OOSSS.
I'm sorry it took me so long to get to these; I had a very big FA backlog that I only managed to finish off two days ago; I tried to save my absolute favorites until the end so they could be at the top of my Faves page for a while.

These Sond pictures and setting is your hatchling here, so I will be perfectly happy for you to select the artist and come to me with a cost-estimate. But I will also happily chat with you to figure out the details of the picture too. I'll send you a note to discuss IM options.

"On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was actually yesterday on TV here in my Town. A good Bond Movie who got in my opinion not the Attention other Bond Movies get.
Still, a good Movie with sadly a tragic end...
As for the Sketchpage, Brilliant in catching the Scenes from the Movie!
