i just finished my favourite project yet, the iconic shirt Silva wears. As soon as i saw him on screen i HAD to have this shirt.
it isn’t an exact replica (ie. the pattern doesn’t match up in some places, the circle details are larger, etc) BUT ITS PRETTY CLOSE.
i drew out the pattern and had it printed onto 100% cotton fabric.
this is going to become a staple in my wardrobe.

i love the scene in movies with a gay coded villain where they put him in a little box and then he's really annoying about it

ok it's not that I'm saying Raoul Silva wasn't gay, he clearly was insanely bisexual but that's besides the point.
You can't say he's the gayest bond Villian only based on the fact Alec brings up having threesomes with James at least twice in the movie.
Alec and James have literally fucked yall

One Dress a Day Challenge
September: Bond Films
Skyfall / Javier Bardem as Raoul Silva
No less an authority than GQ suggested that Raoul Silva is "the most elegant Bond villain thus far," adding that his suit has "just enough artful insanity to keep us intrigued. His Thom Sweeney cream silk jacket is slightly drawn in at the waist and features elegant, softly padded shoulders, while his olive-hued waistcoat and matching slacks have been tailored to fit perfectly." The fit of the vest is very tight, especially when he sits--fashionable for its time, though not classic. The color coordination is impeccable, though.

I want to talk about Raoul Silva AKA my favourite Bond villain and one of my favourite villains in all of cinema and why that is;
Silva (or Tiago Rodriguez) is a character I find endlessly fascinating, his charming personality and demeanor lead to him being incredibly likable from the start and how he speaks to Bond in a way that's friendly and honest yet with still a hint of menace is almost hypnotic to watch on screen. Javier Bardem plays this role to perfection and I feel he doesn't get enough credit for this performance, he is both a camp delight and incredibly threatening when he needs to be and I love every second he's on screen.
His design is also perfect, I don't know how they found a look that screams 'Bond Villain' but this is it, the way his suit is the inverted colour scheme of Bond's is a neat detail and his dyed hair and eyebrows are subtley off putting with how wrong it somehow feels hinting at that he seems well put together there is something off with this man.
The way he acts as the perfect dark reflection to Bond is so interesting to me, sure there have been plenty of characters like that in the film series before Silva i.e Red Grant, Scaramanga and Alec Trevelyan. But none of them are as well utilized as Silva in my opinion with how both he and Bond were betrayed by M and left to die but in Silva's case he went through literal hell whereas Bond just got shot. It's not hard to imagine Bond going rogue on a revenge mission to kill M if he were put through the torture Silva was. Another element to this is how Silva employs Bond's own methods to attack MI6, he attempts to seduce the closest ally to his target, deliberately gets himself captured to infiltrate his target's base to kill them easier and uses their own tech against them. All trademark tactics Bond uses against his villains but turned on him truly making it feel like Silva is three steps ahead of everyone.
The tragedy of Silva is so well handled, he's someone you can't help but feel bad for while watching Skyfall. All he really wants is revenge on the woman who left him to die, a woman he saw as a maternal figure. Like, yeah I get it and I love how Bond himself seems to understand and respect Silva with moments where it seems like he understands his pain. He's one of the few antagonists Bond has gone up against where it feels like he really respects them and probably doesn't even really want to kill him. And the fact that at the end of the film Silva wins, he gets what he wants and tbh, I'm kind of glad. Not that I hate M but it's just nice that Silva gets some closure after a lifetime of being denied that.

Hello! I saw you were taking art requests right now, I would absolutely love to see Raoul Silva and Le Chiffre hanging out together in any way if that's something you'd be interested in drawing!
