Sentenza (Angel Eyes) | the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
while I was doing your commissions, I was able to finish the art with Angel Eyes. recently I started to get involved in old westerns, and it was this character that I found particularly interesting. I think Lee Van Cleef is a genius actor.
Clint Eastwood has...really long, nimble looking fingers--uuuhhuhhh I thirst
TRUEST THING I'VE READ ALL DAY.
Let's indulge for a moment.....
Not to mention, imagine him grabbing YOU (my dearest anon) by the shirt collar and pulling YOU close, like this:
WOOF 😩😩
Thanks to you I recorded the whole dollars trilogy and plan to watch them as soon as I can. 💜

YESSSSS THIS ASK LEGIT MADE ME SOOOO HAPPY TO RECEIVE!!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!! 😱😱
Honestly, it made my morning when I woke up and saw this! I love the Dollars Trilogy so so sooo much, and it would make me delighted if I could share that love with others!!! I do not know where I would be without the Dollars Trilogy right now… it’s one of the main reasons I am currently in film school and part of the RDR fandom! I could legit rant about Spaghetti Westerns (and just films in general) ALLLL day 😵
I am not sure if you have played RDR1 or not, but I think that game in particular has a lot of Dollars Trilogy vibes. The poncho outfit, the loading screen harmonica, the guitar with the heavy reverb… delicious.
Also, the first time I met Dutch in RDR1 I immediately felt like he was a slight homage to the wonderful Lee Van Cleef (RDR2 only convinced me further of that fact - the jet black curls, the sense of style, the EYES, and of course the Dutch name)
Seriously, I am very curious to hear your thoughts, anon! Feel free to message me again once you do watch the films!!!
I feel like most people watch A Fistful of Dollars and go “umm, wtf?” but by the end of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly they’re just like “🤯🤯🤯”
(Or maybe, that is just me being a TOTAL nerd, which is very possible too...)
On a final note, if you like the Dollars Trilogy, I also highly recommend the films Once Upon a Time in the West (same director as the Dollars Trilogy) and The Great Silence! The latter has amazing NE Ambarino vibes, and I feel like Micah’s winter outfit was even inspired by what the super evil antagonist (“Tigrero”) wears because they are very similar to each other. Not to mention the stories of both films are quite phenomenal and highly unique! Check those out, if they are of interest to you!!
(And here is a shoutout to my favorite duo aka my Spaghetti Western OTP from For a Few Dollars More, just because I can never give them enough love 💜💜)
(ANYBODY OUT THERE - PLEASE TALK MORE SPAGHETTI WESTERN LOVE WITH ME.... I AM CLEARLY DEPRIVED)
