Looks awesome Dave! Nice work on the perspective. Could've been cool if she pointed the sword at the viewer though I think. But still, very nice work

Certainly would have been more dynamic and aggressive that way! Cheers Stijn

Not keen with the metal on the sword (doesn't look like it just went through battle), but on the armor it looks great. Great render.

Yeah, the sword could do with some 'genuine battle damage' . If it wasn't for a comic cover I probably would have added a little blood on the blade too. If I ever get around to doing a 'fix' for myself I will do that.
Cheers Chris!

Gawd I love Modesty Blaise... been reading the comic for years in the paper here in Perth.
Now if only they'd make a decent movie about her.

I discovered some modesty novels one day in a second hand book shop and been a fan ever since.... obviously you and your gran are people of impeccable taste and refinement

thanks! lol, funnily enough, the exact same thing happened! i found a copy in the book store and bought it, visited my gran the next day taking it with me, and she took it from me, saying how she used to read them. i only need one and then i have the entire collection, lol.
