Created by Kevin Dart are these [sexy drawings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alterego-the-official-comic) of Yuki 7, a sexy James Bond-esque spy. This [fatal female](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/women-carvers) takes out villains while looking fabulous in the process.

These works were created for Kevin Dart’s show for the Nucleus Gallery in Alhambra, California. Apparently these drawings are a teaser since Kevin Dart is turning Yuki 7 into a movie.

**Implications** - There is something wildly attractive about a woman who can defend herself, not to mention sport a firearm and wear body-hugging leather. With [female empowerment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) becoming more of a focus in today's society, it's no wonder that images of the female as a force not to be reckoned with appeals to both men and women.
