I wouldn't know if to ask her to remove her foot or leave it for another 2 minutes
Amazing foreshortening and I love the way you make flesh & skin look transparent when back light, another exceptional display of masterful rendering and drawing skill Dave.
Attention to detail is brilliant, can't stop looking it may have something to do with trying to look round her knee too lol

I'm not sure it would be wise to admit that to her
Cheers man!

Love it! Only thing I don't really like is how cartoony her face is compared to how photo-realistic the rest of her body is.

Loopydave In reply to SpongeMuffin [2012-04-22 01:47:45 +0000 UTC]
That may be because I exagerated how long her neck would be so you could see her whole face... whereas the rest of the body doesn't have that kind of exageration.
Cheers!

I think it's her make up. Her eyes are too heavily lined and her eyelashes feel too . . . cartoony.
LOVE the legs though, man <3

Fantastic perspective and proportion. I love the colours used, and the light and shade It adds more power to her fierce expression. Also, great detail on the leather sandals, her knees and her armour

Very cool. Great job on her perspective. People have used this perspective, but none have captured the correct proportions as you have my man.
I'm really glad you are doing Modesty Blaise work. You are a natural for her.
It's funny: all day I have been seeing gorgeous brunettes around town, and now your piece. . . . it's a good day.

Glad to help in your run of brunettes I think this was my favourite Modesty cover to paint so far - was pretty excited when I realized I was going to paint the Modesty Gladiator issue cover.
Cheers my friend!

I especially like the legs and the perspective, though I observerd that the neck would not be that long from that angle especially that the tit would hide part of it. Excellent otherwise.

Loopydave In reply to Beyonder69 [2012-04-22 01:36:22 +0000 UTC]
You are indeed correct about the neck - deliberately did it that way to show her whole face... her face being the only feature that makes her instantly recognizable as the heroine.
Cheers!

skillfully done- but one question: is her name intended to be ironic?

Loopydave In reply to drifting-alone [2012-04-22 01:38:32 +0000 UTC]
Modesy is the name of the comic book character 'Modesty Blaise', and yes, the writer does explain that her name is ironic
