I like this poster better than the RL movie! Such striking eyes!

You like this poster more than the WHOLE of the RL movie?? Wow! :D

Thanks for the fave!

I liked it better than at least a third of the movie. I think? I haven't seen it since it was in theaters. I LIKE SEXY SNAKES OKAY

Okay. Me too, about the snakes. c:

As for the movie: I know it's pretty low on a lot of people's list of Bond movies, but it's special to me, it's the first one I saw in theatres, after a month of watching all the older ones for the first time, via a TV event that showed them all.

Thanks, and thank you for the fave! This one stands out as being the most difficult poster to bring to life, for me and for the artist. It was a challenge to provide adequate reference material for all of the various elements embedded in the image and the images in the back. The stuff in the back was drawn out fairly fully before being shrunken down to fit into those TV screens.

I hope you'll give Rigel some kudos on his post too~

My pleasure.

Looks FAR better than the original!

Instant improvement: Just add snakes! :}===<

that looks really cool and epic

It's a great poster design, and Rigel did a great job of re-creating it! :}

Thanks for the fave. :>

I didn't notice the song 00s

˙▿˙

Ill take that as a good sign / approval! :}

Thanks for the fave, Amarihel.

I guess you're going to keep thinking I'm cool, even though I keep saying I'm not.

Exactly, I agree with your words - u are not cool.

Because the word cool means absolutely nothing, you are MEGA COOL

😲😲😲

WHOA

I had no idea! But if I'm mega cool, that must mean you're UBER-GIGA-COOL

Of course, it might look like for you, that I'm saying that because of politeness and not seriously, but then I have an answer for you - you don't know me good enough. Let's open up my thoughts a bit: I like and respect people who aren't afraid of their own thoughts, and especially to give them freedom. That's will be enough. For now ~

We both don't know each other well enough, that's true. So you calling me cool has always seemed like you couldn't know me well enough to make that judgement, either.

As for my thoughts: I respect/admire anyone who learns a second language well enough to be conversant in it, and read fiction in it.

let's put it this way, you don't always need to know a person, it's enough.. to look at his thoughts.

Oh my god

you're a mind reader????!!?!?!?

*holds his head to block your mind reading, and slithers awayyyyy in fright*

Wow! This hypes me up to watch the whole movie all over again!

These recreations just make me itch with excitement. I really want to see a 'You Only Live Twice' for all the steamy ladies on it.

The Bond posters give you such a good repository to commission awestriking images from, but what would you say is the least interesting/sexy/cool-looking one? 'A View to a Kill' maybe? Or 'Die Another Day'? (I only did a quick cursory image search to jog my memory just now)

Whoa, hey! You're suddenly commenting on something so recent! :} But I suppose you're only going in order on my written works, jumping up here just for a poster doesn't mess with that at all. :>

Even if TND is kinda one of the Bond movies that people don't have all that much love for, I have a decent amount of affection for it, as it was the first I saw in cinema, and right after I had first watched all prior entries. But anyway, I'm really into this poster too! So much went into it. I really think Rigel's style fits for this era. Slick, sleek and shiny (whereas the older ones are more painterly, of course).

~

I've been craving the bath-house poster from YOLT for years now, yesss. For a long time, I imagined one particular artist would do it, but that seems like it won't happen, and I shouldn't hold on to that idea.

Right now, Sirmaril has done a great job on both the movie that comes before YOLT and the one after it - those being Thunderball and On Her Majesty's Secret Service -- or rather, Thundersssquall and On Our Sovereign's Sssecret Service! And since the Thundersssquall poster was also a prime example of a 'bevy of beauties' image, I think Sirmaril will do well with the YOLT one. Also, it will be like a little triptych/trio/trilogy of posters by one artist, in a row.

~

Not just the posters, but all of the Bond cannon, like frames from the films, or promotional images or book covers, or graphic novels, it's all fabulous fanart fodder. :}

Die Another Day has a more interesting poster than just that one with Bond and Jinx on it, luckily. There's this wide one: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe.....ema_poster.jpg

But also, since I go for the tall format, I might do this variant of that one I just linked: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M.....5ODM@._V1_.jpg


Also, A View To A Kill has two different posters, one being a bit more dynamic than the other:
Boring: https://a.1stdibscdn.com/archivesE/......jpg?width=768
More Dynamic: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M.....5MjE@._V1_.jpg

I'd probably just get that more dynamic one, there, but there's also this combination one: https://www.allaboutmovies.com.au/m.....9d5255d_XL.jpg

I could perhaps get both separate posters done by two different artists [or the same artist], and then combine them to get the full effect, so to speak.

But yes, there's a reason I haven't had those posters done yet. They don't excite me much, and I used to let artists pick which poster they wanted to do, and no one ever wanted to do D.A.D. One person might have considered AVTAK as a third choice in their list of what they'd pick. :P

Oh, and thanks for the fave!

I'm sorry for jumping ahead, I apologize dear Python! Truth is, I'm sort of stalling on the chronology because I just hit FRWL and I want to finish the book before I jumped in (and maybe watch the movie again because I'm taking my holoday break).

Wow! Wonderful. I was sort of secretly hoping that all the Ames Sond stuff could go on ad infinum. :P I'm feeling fanboyish when I say it, but Ames Sond just has an intrinsic charm to it that I can't resist getting excited at when I see it. I had to jump the gun when I saw this amazing art pop up on your page, the temptation came up when I saw the Thundersssquall, but TNDsss made me break.

And holy moly you were ready with the researched images of posters/graphic media. Of course, you have it all planned out as the mastermind you are.

I didn't have those links at the ready or anything, I just used google image search. I have better-quality versions of all those images here on my PC, but I didn't feel like doing dropbox links just then, so the images weren't as nice as they could have been.

Ames Sond could go on forever, indeed. Even if Bond material stopped being made by people IRL and then I somehow re-made ALL Bond things into Sond things, I could then just make wholly original Sond material! Haha

Also: Ahh, I see! Have fun reading that book! It's very very similar to the book. With it being only the second movie, they were still keeping everything near to Fleming's work [and, I mean.. Fleming was still alive at that point, too].

And don't be sorry! :}

Very nice poster! I did love the idea of having a media baron be the villain and Jonathan Pryce was up to the task. Excellent choices for the villain and the two Sond girls, especially that Skink. How bout the cyberterrorist who corrupted the GPS transmitter? What's he in this version?

Dominus tecum

Thanks, glad you like it and my choices for the ladies! Thank you for the fave as well. :}===<

I assume you spotted the Sondified Elliot Carver in the background [both upper corners]?

The cyberterrorist was 'Henry Gupta', played by the late great Ricky Jay [comedian, magician, and cardistry expert]. Originally, the character was going to be an indian tech wiz, probably younger, but when they got Ricky, they left the name the same and said he was American, and had begun as a student radical in the 60s.

Anyway, I mention the species he is in the written scenes, here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/39758890/

It's no great secret, though: He's a skunk.

Oh yes I spotted Elliot, and the look you gave him is a great one.

Hmm, not sure how I missed that scene. I'll put that with the Thundersquall scenes I am hoping to get time to read soon (I'm doing my clean out my FA backlog thing again, but holding the stories for a bit so I can actually get through the backlog before it gets out of control again).

Dominus tecum

No problem! Good luck with the backlog. :}===<

I'm under 50 to go! Woohoo! Should be able to read your stuff next week. What's next for Ames Sond?

Dominus tecum

Well, I still never did all the scenes I wanted to do / thought up for 'Live and Let Sssspy', and I have a teaser poster image that works equally well for Spectre or for L&LS, because the poster it's based on was Daniel Craig, but in an outfit from L&LD.

I also have a high-stakes gambling scene at a private party that's not based on any movie, which I should write for.

I have one other Sond picture that's not based on any existing movie, as well.

Other than that, I'm all caught up on the art I have being written for, and posted. Oh wait, I have something from The Sssspy Who Loved Me, too. But that's it!

~

For the future, I of course need to get the other 7 or so posters that are left to get, including NTTD. I don't know why, but I often think about who I should hire to draw the 'Sssspy Another Day' poster. I mean, I don't think about artists for other posters, just that one, and I don't know why. I don't like that movie all that much. Maybe I just want to buy the simpler version of that poster [the one that's just James and Jinx] and get it over with, instead of the more complex one, with almost all the characters represented.

Sounds like a lot of cool stuff on the horizon then. And of course, there's at least one scene from Spectre I think you wanted to do.

Dominus tecum

Mmhmm, I was just thinking about that, too. :}===<

Let me know when you're ready to do more than just think about it!

Dominus tecum

Wai Lin as a beautiful skink? Hell yes!!! 8D

thanks,i love it

Big fan of Bond, or just of Tomorrow Never Dies? Or of movie posters? :}===<

If you like this, you might like the others: https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....d-00S-POSTERS/

A gorgeous cat and a darling skink. Also, it seems Sond is mingling with a human lady in one of the tele-screens!

I think Jonathon Pryce as Elliot Carver was my favourite Bond villain that went on the more kooky side of things, even more than Zorin in A View to a Kill (and I always like Walken). Even though he's an evil deer, I still like seein' 'em! https://youtu.be/ZdUEeL8tEPY

Great quote clip to pull, in this moment! :D

Also, yesss, I knew you'd appreciate him on this poster, when I realized you were approaching this point and I looked to see what you had left to get to.

And, yes! Sond is paired with a human lady for the first time, there. That's the Danish professor moment, which occurs early in the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0xSky90E4I&ab_channel=TheViralVideos

Oh, and I feel the need to correct you: That's not just a 'cat', it's a puma!

About Carver: Pryce just plays it so perfectly hammy, you can see the madness dripping off of him, it's great.

Nice one. Somehow, this style just feels right for this movie.

My thoughts exactly! :}

The saddest part in the film is the sea drill from the stealth ship to cut the frigate in half on the South China Sea, only to provoke both China and UK into war, just because of hacked GPS satellite to lure the frigate into Chinese territories with wrong coordinates and area of boundary.
Even Paris didn't deserve to be assassinated when Carver wanted her and Bond dead to cover up the terroristic plans. :O

I think the tragedy of Paris Carver is the saddest part of that movie, myself.

The idea of manipulating the ship into Chinese waters and the way they manipulated both the Brits and the Chinese into thinking the other had attacked them: that was a great bit of espionage, a great set-up for a spy plot.

Indeed.
Also, let's not forget the world's most secured car before its demise (not just being sawed in half in the other film) and Dr. Kaufman's humorous conversation with Bond when he tries to prove his "professional" jobs and "ingenious" logic. XD

I'm loving this way to much, Especially since TND is my Favourite Bond film

TND has a lot of cool stuff in it, indeed! It was the first I saw in theatre, so it has a special spot in my heart. [Although it's perhaps the 17th Bond film I saw, overall, thanks to first seeing GE on video, then all the others on TV, then TND]

Thanks for the 5 faves on those various Ames Sond posts! :}

I wonder if you'll take the time to check out the alt-version of events from the opening scenes, here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/39758890/

I love it! I just rewatched this not that long ago.

Nice! Perhaps you watched it back in December of 2022, because that was the 25th anniversary of it coming out? :}c

Thanks for the fave on this and on the Ssspectre poster! Here's a folder with all the Ames Sond posters so far: https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....nd-00S-POSTERS

Also, thanks for the watch! :D

Thanks for the folder! No it was more like a few weeks ago.

Still, chronologically speaking, you happened to be watching TND very near to the 25th anniversary. Closer than having done so a year or two ago, or in a handful more months into 2023.
