O-Ren Ishii

(played by Actress Lucy Liu in Kill Bill)

Member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad

Ruthless. Cold-blooded. Stylish.

These were the qualities that defined Lucy Liu's role as O-Ren Ishii from Quentin Tarintino's Kill Bill: Volume 1.

O-Ren is first on my hitlist of iconic movie villains to draw.

I also created a Spotify playlist inspired by O-Ren and Kill Bill's iconic film soundtrack.

Aesthetic inspiration:

Ichiro Tsuruta (1954-)

Natori Shunsen (1886-1960)
