Literary James Bond- Casino Royale

WIP- background ongoing. Illustration of the literary version of James Bond novel, Casino Royale. Vesper Lynd to the left, James Bond central and Felix Leiter to the right.

In the novel Vesper Lynd is an English woman described as having very black hair and deep blue eyes and she wears a black velvet dress at one point with a diamond necklace. I used Natalie Portman and a few others for referencing and opted to draw pearls instead and coloured her hair a dark brown to give some contrast.
James is an English man described as having black hair with a comma that falls at the front and blue-grey eyes and he resembles actor Hoagy Carmichael. I used Roger Moore and Sean Connery in their James Bond roles for referencing.
Felix Leiter is a Texan described as about thirty-five, tall and thin with grey eyes and straw-coloured hair and wearing a tan-coloured suit. He's also described as hawk-faced with a feline slant to his eyes and the quality of a falcon in the way he sits hunched over with a boyish look about him. I used the stock as linked below, Alex Pettyfer for the hair and Jack Lord's Felix Leiter in Dr No for those glorious sunglasses.
